Day 1 - Melbourne to Wilsons Promontory NP
Travelling southeast of Melbourne through pastoral South Gippsland we arrive at Wilsons Promontory National Park. Walk along gleaming 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! In the afternoon we travel to the coastal town of Lakes Entrance. Here, we’re at the Gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and Australia’s longest beach - Ninety Mile Beach. (D).
Day 2 - Lakes Entrance to Snowy River Country
This morning we begin our journey into Snowy River Country. It’s a spectacular drive along Barry Way, watching the Snowy River wind below. In the afternoon, let the bus do all the work as we climb high into the Australian Alps (seasonal Nov-May). Hiking along an alpine track (2.5 hour round trip) 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). In summer activities around the lake include (at own expense) wakeboarding, waterskiing or trout fishing. Tonight, kick back and relax with a sauna, swim or a drink at the bar. (BD).
Day 3 - Jindabyne to Sydney via Canberra
Leaving Jindabyne, we pass through Cooma, learning about the Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme (one of the most complex integrated water and hydro-electric power schemes in the world!). Next stop is Canberra, Australia’s capital city, where the Prime Minister hangs out. We’ll do a tour of Parliament House, check out a few embassies and see other city highlights before travelling back to Sydney.(B)
