South Coast and Alps Mini Trip
Sydney to Melbourne - 8 days
This trip links Australia's
two biggest cities. On this
journey we drive along the beautiful New South Wales south
coast, with its superb beaches and quaint villages, and up
the rainforested escarpment into the southern highlands. We
travel over the Snowy Mountains where we walk to the top of
the country's highest mountain (not a big walk but a fabulous
view!). We picnic in Snowy River country amongst the mobs of
Grey Kangaroos, and explore magnificent forests of Mountain
Ash Eucalyptus regnans, the world's tallest flowering
plant. We meet up with the
Djuwin, the traditional custodians of
this country and hear of their experiences and their stories. Click here for more information..

Southern Wilderness Overland
Melbourne to Sydney - 14
days
The Southern Wilderness is our premier trip. On this trip we follow the Southern Coastline and Alps route, with a few fabulous additions: We spend
three days in spectacular Wilson's Promontory National Park
which boasts Victoria's largest area of coastal wilderness. At
'the Prom' we walk for a full day to the Lighthouse which is
perched on a peninsula jutting into wild seas. We spend two
nights at the Lightstation before returning via a magnificent
pristine beach. We also travel up to Bogong High Plains where
we experience landscapes which are altogether different from
anywhere in the world with vast plains dominated by the tough
and wiry Snow Gum. Click here for more information.
