3 1/2 Day Sydney to Melbourne Tour via Canberra -
This 3 1/2 day tour from Sydney to Melbourne takes in many beautiful places that people miss out on their way to Melbourne. Such as the Blue Mountains, Jenolan Caves, Canberra, Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains, Brown Brothers Winery and Ned Kelly country.
The Australian Capital Territory is of course home to
our Parliament House, The High Court of Australia and the National Gallery
with its extensive collection of Aboriginal cultural artworks. A well
manicured city, Canberra is situated amidst a rural area of sheep farms,
cattle stations and rustic homesteads and close enough to Kosciuszko
National Park to marvel at the evening sunset.
With two Universities there are no shortage of nightclubs in Canberra.
You can always find a pub and there are plenty of cheap places to eat.
It is fortunately, only a short drive to coastal beaches
when the hot summer climate can be unforgiving. Summer months see a
total fire ban in this region and sensibly so with its close proximity
to The Brindabella Ranges, Namagdi National Park and Kosciuszko National
Park. Horseride through the alpine meadows of Kosciuszko National Park,
alive with wildflowers at this time of year or climb to Australia’s
highest point, Mt Kosciuszko. We recommend a whitewater raft on the
Snowy River or a visit to the thermal pools at Yarrangobilly Caves.
The nearby slopes of ski resorts such
as Kosciuszko-Thredbo, Perisher Blue and Mount Selwyn sit quietly until
June. The ski season begins at this time with the parties and powder
usually lasting until October.
