    I have previously done a similar USA tour (just with Trek America, not Top Deck) and would highly recommend it. I have done a self drive from Melbourne to Cairns with friends also.

    Europe I would rule out - we are so close to all those places, it would be easy to go for weekends etc.

    It's whichever you would prefer - Australia or USA? The flights to Australia would be a lot more expensive, and the cost of living there is a lot higher than the US also if cost was a factor?

    I would go with Aus. America can be done more easily in week long trips whereas you need a min of 2 weeks for Aus. I had similiar decision between the States or Thailand for this year so went for Thailand.

    I'd do the European trip, tbh the only thing Interesting in the US is the landscape (planning on doing one myself next year)

    I think the US is often at its best a little off the beaten track, though you'd need your own wheels to visit the small towns and back-country that allow you to best experience that.

    Many European cities on the other hand are magnificent places, one markedly different to the next & delivering a richness of culture and history that's very hard to beat. It really depends on what floats your own particular boat OP, but I'd plump for Europe if doing a tour such as that.
