ITINERARY
Day 1
- Sydney to Jindabyne (via Canberra)
We travel to Australia's capital city of Canberra checking out
Parliament House and other highlights on a city tour. After
lunch we pass through Cooma, learning about Australia's great
engineering feat the 'Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme'. We arrive
at Jindabyne in the late afternoon - a great time for a spot
of trout fishing in the lake or perhaps go water skiing and/or
wake boarding (all at own expense & seasonal). Dinner and overnight
dorm accommodation is included 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. (D)
Day 2
- Jindabyne to Lakes Entrance Via Snowy River Country
After breakfast, 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' & 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). After
lunch we take the spectacular scenic drive along the Barry Way,
watching the Snowy River wind below us, as we cross the border
into Victoria. In the afternoon, we take a break to fly down
the 'zip wire' (optional activity at own expense) before arriving
for our overnight stop at the coastal township of Lakes Entrance;
the Gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and Australia’s longest
beach - Ninety Mile Beach. (B D)
Day 3
- Lakes Entrance to Wilsons Promontory NP
This morning you may wish to take the opportunity for an early
morning walk before driving to Wilsons Promontory National Park
with ample time to hike and explore! 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 (maybe even sighting emus and wombats). We finish our
tour, travelling on to Melbourne through the pastoral landscape
of South Gippsland. (B)
