Beauty — we've got it.

Your brief just landed on a real desk in Deakin. A travel designer is already reading it, and you'll hear from us within the hour in office time.

Meanwhile

What happens between now and the call

No ticket numbers, no queue music. Here's the actual sequence.

Office: 9–18 weekdays

Right now

A designer reads your brief and checks which routes and dates genuinely fit — coffee optional but likely.

Within the hour

We call or write back — whichever you left. Expect real questions about pace, budget and what a good day looks like to you.

Within 48 hours

A draft route lands in your inbox — honest pricing, season notes and the bits we'd swap if it were our own holiday.

Can't wait an hour?

Call the studio on +61 7 5538 1246 (Mon–Fri 9–18, Sat 10–14 AEST) or write to joyfulsunrise@gmail.com — mention your brief and it'll be waiting on the right desk.

Sent and wondering?

Sunrise over an outback road

Yes — landing on this page means it did. If you don't hear back within the hour in office time, something's genuinely wrong; call us and we'll sort it.

Easy — just send another brief or mention it on the call. Nothing is locked in until you've seen a route and said yes to it.

Never. Your details live with the designer handling your brief — the short version is in our privacy policy.
