Answer
You have a great camping trip planned there. I live in Cali and have been to all the places except Gold beach. One day I hope to make it up there.

Just a suggestion; you and the kids might like the area around Kings Canyon better than Big Sur. It is beautiful and lots to do.

Go on the Trolley Car in San Francisco and the most crocked street is a kick! We found that Old Town Sacramento was very cool. So, spend a night there and see a show.

Just a couple more links for ya!

P.S.: I have heard that the KOA camp grounds are some of the best! I would get a list and give them a call.

Can someone please help with a cheap backpacker style itinerary for Australia in April/May 2014..?

My sister and I (25/26) are traveling Australia soon and this is what we've got so far. Melbourne (6 days) -> Sydney (2 days) -> Blue Mountains (3 days) - Gold Coast (3 days) - Cairns (5 days) -> Uluru (2 days) -> Melbourne (2 days).

The cheaper the options the better although not compromising on safety as we're 2 girls traveling alone..? This is a completely new destination to us so any help with accommodation and travel between desitnations from anyone who's had previous experience will help a lot. We want it to be an adventurous trip and we're ok roughing it out a bit if needed.

Thank You! :)

Answer
You are covering a lot of ground there and much of it needs to be done by air, luckily plane tickets in Australia are pretty cheap, especially if you fly between secondary airport (eg, New Castle or the Gold Coast, rather than Sydney and Brisbane).

The alternative to consider is getting a bus pass where you can hop on and off in many different locations, allowing you to see smaller towns and cities on the back packer route (you get better accommodation for less money too)

Ok

here is the deal

1. Skip Uluru, the plane tickets are very expensive or you want to fly into Darwin and join an outback tour going to many places in that region.
2. Consider the Whitsundays and Airlie beach over the highly overrated Cairns (Airlie beach and the Whitsunday islands has a much better back packer scene)
3. Spend more time in Sydney (there is a lot to see) and less in Melbourne initially. Blue Mountains is a day trip from Sydney, though you can also take tents, hike and camp there (make sure you get maps before going as people get lost up there)
4. Gold Coast's surfer's paradise is expensive and touristy, worth visiting but remember it is a long stretch with loud surfer's, trendy broad beach, bushland fronted south port, and family orientated currimbum.
5. Try couchsurfing.org for free places to stay
6. Also try gumtree.com.au to find people who want to share a car trip somewhere
7. use meet.com to find local activities in the area (especially hiking on weekends so you can meet local people going on hikes)
