All aboard a bus to Oz

OZ-BUS, the overland service between London and Sydney, is back with a July 4 departure and the company says half of the seats for the trip are still available.

This epic journey takes in 17 countries over three continents spread over 92 days and will arrive in Sydney on October 3.

Oz-Bus says it has a new policy to use only local operators, guides and drivers as the bus passes through the various countries. This travel ethic aims to generate commerce in the local areas as well as enhance local experiences for the passengers. Local guides also add an extra element of security in areas where knowledge of local practices and customs are essential.
