Jutting out into Bass Strait, Cape Liptrap is a place of secret beaches and lost shipwrecks, changing from peaceful and calm to wild and stormy with the seasons.
Cheaper, greener and smarter travel is coming to the East Coast.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a smarter, easier and more sustainable way to travel Australia without the chaos of airports or the exhaustion of long days behind the wheel, your prayers may have been answered. European travel company FlixBus has landed in Australia, shaking up the long-distance bus scene by offering a more affordable and greener travel option to get you from A to B, just in time for the end-of-year holidays.
FlixBus is making its Aussie debut.
Known for its lime-green buses, FlixBus operates over 400,000 routes to more than 8,000 destinations in over 40 countries. German travel company FlixBus is taking to Australian roads.
