Ozbus

Has anyone here done this yet???

It sounds an awesome trip 10,000 miles, 20 countries over 12 weeks!!!

It costs less than £4k so isn't out of reach - visas and border taxes, etc are not included so it will probably be just over £4k.

I don't think it's for everyone but if you are into back packing it might be a great trip.

Check it out at Ozbus, London to Sydney Bus Travel

If it was just me and hubby i would do it as I hate flying. But as we are travelling with 3 kids will take a pack of valium and a bottle of beer and take the flight.

Looks fab! if i did'nt have 2 kids i would jump at the chance! My 70 year old dad is seriously considering it though!

It looks amazing!!! I would love to do it, the kids wouldnt like it though.

Seems like everyone is in the same boat!!!
Kids are great but they don't half get in the way sometimes.

The first Ozbus left yesterday (16th Sep 2007) if it's a success they plan to have them monthly.
This is going to be quite a trip for the 36 passengers - I wonder how many will survive???

Hi Tom

I came across Ozbus a few months ago. I think it is a fab idea. I'd love to do it but can't get 12 weeks off work with pay!

Is there a website where we can track the progress of the first bus, please?

Cheers

Gill

It sounds great doesn't it?

There was a piece about it on our local radio this morning. It went something like this ...

"Always fancied Oz but not keen on flying? Well you can now go on a bus" !!!!

Not quite as simple as that lol!

Hi there,

I was one of the first Ozbusers and the journey was certainly eventful! If anyone is considering doing this (it goes from Sydney to London as well as London to Sydney) and has any questions, let me know. If you do want to know what happened on our trip there is a blog at OzBus Diaries which has a day by day account of the trip and our life in Sydney since then.
