Is it possible to travel to Australia without a car? Yes, definitely. To fully immerse in the spirit of road tripping in Australia, a car is always recommended, however, if you're a noob who can't drive, here's what I did during my 6D5N travel to Gold Coast.

Note: I'm just sharing what I did during my week in Gold Coast, but this is NOT my ideal itinerary. If it was entirely up to me, I'd have packed my itinerary with activities instead of returning so early each day, but to each his own. (Make sure you travel with someone who shares the same ideal itinerary as you or your holidays might pretty much be ruined by tons of disagreements.)
