Recommendation
If you're looking for the fastest and most convenient option, I recommend taking a direct flight with Virgin Australia or Qantas, as it will save you an extensive amount of travel time compared to driving. However, if you prefer a scenic journey and the flexibility of a road trip, consider renting a car and taking the coastal route, which can be quite picturesque.
