Tour overview

The much-loved city of Melbourne welcomes you with endless laneways to explore, hidden bars and art lined streets. After exploring the vibrant heart of Victoria, begin your road trip southeast with your first stop at the incredibly special Wilson's Promontory National park. Staying in the nearby town of Foster, you will have the opportunity to explore this unique landscape from the water on a nature cruise. From here, begin to track north through the Gippsland Lakes region, crossing the border into the stunning South Coast of New South Wales. In Merimbula, meet the local oyster farmers and learn how to shuck the famous Sydney Rock Oyster and take the evening to relax at the beach. Continuing on to the resort town of Bateman's Bay, spend the afternoon with the wildlife at Mogo Zoo and take a stroll down the eccentric main street of town. Reroute inland to discover Australia's capital, Canberra. Home of the Australian Parliament and the National ANZAC Memorial, the city is steeped in history and cultural nuances. Sydney is your final destination and you will have ample time to explore this bustling city, its famous attractions, and the beautiful wilderness areas just a stones throw away.
