$3,334Welcome to Melbourne! Or Narrm in the language of the Wurundjeri people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Melbourne is now located. If you arrive a day or two early, you might like to visit Ngarrgu Djerring Cafe or Wayi Restaurant – both are social enterprises serving up menus that champion First Nations ingredients and culinary culture while providing employment, mentoring and training opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting at 9 am this morning. Travel to Wilsons Promontory along the Bunurong coast. When you arrive, head inland through the temperate rainforest along the Lily Pilly Gully Boardwalk. As you walk, look out for local wildlife like emus, wombats and kangaroos. Then, visit Squeaky Beach, known for its rounded quartz sand that squeaks when you walk on it! Listen for the sounds as you go and take in the surrounding granite boulders at either end of the beach. After, travel to Foster where you’ll spend the night.
Your travel time today will be approximately 6 hours. It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance and emergency contact details at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place. The Lilly Pilly Gully nature walk is a Grade 2 return walk that takes 1.5 hours. It’s a relatively easy flat gravel track.
