Epic Bus Adventure: London To Sydney Overland


I came across this story while browsing Gadling earlier. If you're into epic travel by land, this may just be the trip for you!

Oz Bus has created a unique travel experience that's sure to pique the interest of adventure travelers the World over. They have just started an overland bus route that runs from London, England to Sydney, Australia. The 12 week long excursion passes through 20 countries, and over 10,000 miles of road, along the way. The trip begins in either London or Sydney depending on when you want to travel, and passengers will be staying in a combination of tents and hostels while on the trip.

The trip will set you back about $7500, but you'll be visiting such places as England, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, and of course Australia. If you want to know what it's like on the "Oz Bus", check out the Oz Bus Diaries, a blog being written by someone who just began the trip. As of now, they're haven't been any updates since they departed, but hopefully we'll get something soon.

The bus is said to be able to seat 36 people comfortably. Do you think we could get a group discount if we organized an Adventure Blog outing? ;)
