This pass allows you to visit any destination on the Greyhound Australia network. Aussie Kilometre Passes are valid for 12 months. The Aussie Kilometre Pass costs the same for everyone, however discount card holders get 15% more kilometres of travel on their pass.

Aussie Day Passes

Greyhound's Aussie Day Passes are designed for the short-stay visitor who wants to get out of the cities and see the country. They let you go anywhere on the Greyhound Australia network and disjointed travel and backtracking is allowed, however there is a kilometre limit.

 

The pass validity is for consecutive travel days. In other words it is not a flexi pass (even though Greyhound sometimes market the pass as one of their Oz-Flexi passes) and the number of valid travel days begins on the first day of travel.
