ITINERARY
Day 1
- Melbourne to Wilsons Promontory NP
We begin our adventure early, travelling southeast of Melbourne
through the pastoral landscape of South Gippsland to hike and
explore the Wilsons Promontory National Park. Walk on
squeaky beaches, watch the ocean of Bass Strait pound on to
the Australian mainland's most southerly point, hike along spectacular
granite rock formations with fantastic views and learn about
the coastal flora & native wildlife (perhaps sighting emus and
wombats!) In the afternoon we travel to the coastal township
of Lakes Entrance; Gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and Australia's
longest beach - Ninety Mile Beach. (D)
Day 2
- Wilsons Promontory NP to Snowy River Country
This morning we commence our journey into Snowy River Country,
taking a break to fly down the 'zip wire' (optional activity
at own expense). Our journey along the scenic Barry Way is spectacular
as we watch the Snowy River wind below us and cross the border
into NSW. In the afternoon, let the bus do all the work as we
climb high into the Australian Alps (seasonal Nov-May). Enjoy
a rewarding hike along an alpine track (2 1/2 hour round-trip)
absorbing stunning views of the glacial 'Blue Lake' and the
peak of Mt Kosciuszko (the highest point in Australia). During
winter, (Jun-Oct) we visit the ski village of Perisher/Smiggins
for fun in the snow (optional hire of toboggans or snow tubes
at own expense). Stay overnight at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel
where you'll get to enjoy the mountain life; perhaps a sauna,
swim or a drink at the bar while taking in the magnificent view
of the lake. (BD)
Day 3
- Jindabyne to Sydney via Canberra
For early risers, take the opportunity to fish in the lake for
trout or hit the water, with optional activities including water
skiing and/or wake boarding (summer only and at own expense).
Later, we pass through Cooma, learning about Australia's great
engineering feat the 'Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme'. We then
continue on to our national's capital city of Canberra, checking
out Parliament House and other highlights before travelling
on to Sydney. (B)
