Coach Charter by City and Region
Twenty pages cover capitals, regional cities and touring regions, from Cairns down to Hobart and across to Perth. Each sets out coach stopping rules, the nearest airports, toll roads and common day trips.
Councils set different coach rules
Brisbane allows private coaches to park in the inner city only at approved spots and times, which it maps. Fremantle maps its tour coach bays. At Katoomba, cameras watch the Echo Point roundabout for buses dropping passengers. Several cities publish no coach bays, so each set-down is agreed with the venue. Check the city page before you lock in stops.
Clocks and kilometres
Queensland never uses daylight saving; NSW does, from early October to early April. For those months Byron Bay and Tweed Heads sit an hour ahead of Surfers Paradise. Distances are large. Alice Springs to Uluru is about 468 km, normally an overnight coach trip.
Questions
My town has no page. Can I still book?
Yes. Send the plan. Trips that start near a listed city, or pass through one, are priced in exactly the same way.
How exact are the drive times?
They are rough road times with no stops. Traffic and weather lengthen them. On the Stuart Highway, coaches are held to 100 km/h even where cars may go faster.
Where does the Blue Mountains page centre?
On Katoomba and the upper mountains. The Hunter Valley page covers the Pokolbin and Cessnock wine area.
