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).

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.
