How to plan a trip to Australia from the USA
Hi, I’m Lee. Planning a trip to Australia from the USA after 50 can feel exciting… but also a bit overwhelming. The long flight, the visa, the distances, the “where on earth do I start?” questions, it’s a lot. This page is your step-by-step guide to planning an Australia trip that feels relaxed, safe, and absolutely unforgettable for American travelers over 50.
Australia is my home. I’m also in my 50’s and have traveled to every state and territory. Whether it’s time in Sydney or Melbourne, cuddling a koala, riding a train across the Outback, sampling our famous wines, or spotting crocs or kangaroos, I can show you how to do it in style, with all the extra touches that elevate the experience.
As an Australian, I understand the rhythms of the seasons, the smartest routes between regions, and the hand-picked stays and tours that turn a trip into a once-in-a-lifetime story. When it comes to planning travel in Australia from the USA, think of me as Your Personal Australia Travel Guide!
I look forward to making your visit to Australia one of the best vacations you’ve ever had.

Australia is roughly the size of the USA. This means the climate shifts dramatically from one region to another.
Sydney & Melbourne shine in spring and autumn, when it’s not too hot or too cool. (Oct-Nov & Mar-May)
Queensland’s tropical north is best during the dry season (Jun–Oct), when skies are clear and the Great Barrier Reef is at its calmest.
Uluru and the Red Centre are most comfortable in the cooler winter months (May–Sep), avoiding the blistering summer heat.
Australia is always in season. My job is to help you match the seasons to the right destinations.

Planning a trip to Australia from the USA?
After years guiding travelers across Australia, I kept hearing the same thing: “I wish someone had explained this before I landed.” From the first time you order coffee in a busy café to which little coastal town is worth a slow afternoon, it’s the small details and honest advice that make a trip memorable.
That’s why I created this group. A practical Australia travel guide shaped by lived experience, not just lists of must-sees. Here’s what you can expect:
- Personal answers to your travel questions, big or small, from me and others who’ve been there.
- Advice you won’t find in guidebooks: everyday rituals, café etiquette, the sports locals care about, and what a real Aussie barbecue actually feels like.
- Freedom to use the information how you want: plan your own trip, ask for a custom itinerary, take the information back to your travel agent or, just gather tips to make your travels smoother.
Think of this space as a friendly, honest guide to Australia’s real life from morning markets to seaside strolls. If you want more than just landmarks and tourist stops, you’re in the right place.
