"I am going to visit Australia at the beginning of the year, so I am reading reviews and I see that everyone rents cars. I can't drive, I’ll have to do something to get myself out of this. In Australia, first of all, I am interested in natural beauty, and the main cities, of course. Here's my  route:
1. Sydney
2. Melbourne
3. Tasmania
And the main questions are:
1) What are the nearest attractions in these places convenient to reach by public transport?
2) If not by public transport, please tell me some of the proven companies organizing group excursions. "
*
from my experience most attractions which are outskirts of the city centers can be reached by train or bus. but convenient-wise they are less so, since australia is big country. that's why for those places it is much more convenient to rent car. surely someone coming with you can drive?

having said that, in sydney there are opera house, hyde park, luna park, paddys market, bondi beach all within regular city public transport route (train, bus, ferry) or walk. since you like nature, blue mountains should be included.. a farther train ride away.

in melbourne, victoria market, st kilda, also within tram ride.

tasmania.. can't think of any within city (hobart or launceston) limits. plenty of natural beauties though but farther away.

Hi, for train from city to blue mountain, do I need to buy the train ticket in advance or can be purchased when I at train station? What time is the earliest train?

i never try the train to blue mountains. we drove there last time. but i think its a regular commuter train that you can take on the day. no need to book. sorry i don't have detail info.

Australia is so unique country, I'd like to visit it someday. My aunt lives there, so it would be great to stay at her. Usually, I travel not often but have already to more than 20 countries. If you are planning your next trip, read this article before https://travelsites.com/blog/the-safest-and...tries-to-visit/

unique is one thing.. big is another. we did 3 trips in 3 years to cover perth, sydney, melbourne & gold coast
