Our eight-day Melbourne to Brisbane road trip comes to an end as we leave the Gold Coast, spot koalas near Brisbane, enjoy a final Australian sunset and fly across the Tasman to begin our Aotearoa New Zealand adventure.

From a long journey through Gatwick and Shanghai to finally landing in Melbourne, discover how two teenagers handled their first major long-haul adventure—and how our upgraded Hyundai Kona became the start of our Melbourne to Brisbane road trip.
