Tour Day 1 - Sydney to Jindabyne (via Canberra)
Canberra is Australia’s Capital city and where our Prime Minister hangs out, this is where we head to on our way out of Sydney. We’ll do a tour of Parliament House check out a few embassies and see other city highlights. After lunch, we go to Cooma and learn a little about the Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme (one of the most complex integrated water and hydro-electric power schemes in the world). Arrive Jindabyne in the late afternoon, a town with a relaxed alpine village feel. There’s time for trout fishing in the lake or you could even go water skiing or wake boarding (all at own expense and seasonal). Tonight you’ll enjoy dinner and overnight accommodation at Lake Jindabyne (all included). Kick back and relax with a sauna, swim or a drink at the bar.(D)Tour Day 2 - Jindabyne to Lakes Entrance Via Snowy River Country
After breakfast, a hike along an alpine track rewards you with stunning views of the glacial ‘Blue Lake’ and the top of Mt Kosciuszko (Australia’s highest point). During winter, we’ve got time to play in the snow at the ski resort of Perisher/Smiggins (optional toboggan hire or snow tube at own expense). After lunch, it’s a spectacular drive along the remote Barry Way, with the Snowy River winding along below us. Cross into Victoria before arriving at our overnight stop at the coastal town of Lakes Entrance, gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and Australia’s longest beach - Ninety Mile Beach. (BD)Tour Day 3 - Lakes Entrance to Wilsons Promontory NP and Melbourne
If you’re an early bird, it’s a great chance for a walk before we drive to Wilsons Promontory National Park. Once there, walk along white sandy beaches, watch the ocean pound onto the southernmost point of the mainland, hike along amazing granite rock formations and learn about coastal flora and native wildlife. You might even see emus and wombats. We’ll finish our tour travelling to Melbourne through pastoral landscapes in South Gippsland.(B)Tour finishes in Melbourne
