The route we start from

These are the stages published for this trip. A stage can cover part of a day or several days; it is not a separate travel day.

1. Stage 01

   Sydney

   Land in Sydney and head for Circular Quay, which settles the argument immediately: Opera House on one side, Harbour Bridge on the other, ferries crossing in between. Dinner at the quay or in The Rocks behind it, in the sandstone lanes that are the oldest part of the city.

2. Stage 02

   Harbour Day

   The Manly ferry from the quay, half an hour across open water and still the best-value view in the country, with the walk to Shelly Beach at the far end. Back in the afternoon for Bondi: a swim, the ocean pool at Icebergs, and the clifftop walk south towards Bronte.

3. Stage 03

   Sydney Free

   Free, with one obvious temptation: the BridgeClimb, which takes you up the arch to 134 metres on a harness and a walkway. Otherwise the Royal Botanic Garden and Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the postcard angle, the art gallery, and Darling Harbour when the light goes.

4. Stage 04

   Fly Melbourne

   Fly to Melbourne, around ninety minutes, and into a city that argues with Sydney about everything. The laneways are the introduction: Hosier Lane for the street art, Degraves and Centre Place for coffee taken seriously, and a rooftop bar in the evening because Melbourne invented those here.

5. Stage 05

   Great Ocean Road

   The Great Ocean Road. Out past Torquay and Bells Beach, along the coast road cut into the cliffs by returning soldiers after the First World War, through the Otway rainforest, and on to the Twelve Apostles, limestone stacks standing offshore. Timed for late light, which is when they glow.

6. Stage 06

   Melbourne Deep

   Queen Victoria Market in the morning, seven hectares and running since 1878, for breakfast and produce. Then a street-art walk, and the choice that defines the city: the MCG, which holds 100,000 and is a genuine cathedral of sport, or the National Gallery of Victoria on St Kilda Road.

7. Stage 07

   The Return

   One last flat white, made properly, and the flight home. Seven days, two cities, and a firm and unshakeable opinion about which one is better that you will now defend to Australians at every opportunity.
