How to Get to and Travel Around Australia?

Australia is in the middle of the ocean, so the best way to arrive there is by flight. There are international flights to all the major cities, like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns, Perth, etc. As Australia has a vast territory and the popular tourist cities locate far away from each other, the domestic flights are the most suitable way to travel inside the country in terms of time and cost. Train is also available, but it takes a longer time and the train fare is not cheap. So unless you are really fond of train and have enough time, choose the flight instead.
