3 Day Sydney to Melbourne Safari by Adventure Tours Australia

Tour Itinerary

**Day 1 - Sydney to Thredbo Alpine Village* (via Canberra)**

Our first stop today is the capital city of Australia - Canberra - where the Prime Minister hangs out. See for yourself how a custom-made capital city is built as you take in the view from Mt. Ainslie, take a tour of Parliament House, check out a few embassies and see other city highlights. We travel via Cooma, learning about the historically important Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme on our way to Thredbo. *In ski season (Jun-Sep) we stay in Jindabyne and during winter Perisher/Smiggins (D).

Day 2 - Thredbo to Lakes Entrance via Snowy River Country

Grab your hiking boots, we're going to the 'Roof of Australia'. There's a chairlift express up the mountain (seasonal) and you can either walk to the summit of Australia's highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko (weather permitting), or to the viewing point. During winter, we have time to play in the snow at the ski resort of Perisher/Smiggins (optional toboggan hire or snow tube at own expense). It's a spectacular drive along Barry Way, with the Snowy River below. Tonight we stay at Lakes Entrance, the Gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and Australia's longest beach - Ninety Mile Beach. (BD)

Day 3 - Lakes Entrance to Wilsons Promontory NP and Melbourne

We travel to mainland Australia's most southerly point, Wilsons Promontory National Park. Walk along gleaming beaches, hike along amazing granite rock formations and learn about coastal flora and native wildlife. You might even see emus and wombats! We finish our tour travelling to Melbourne through pastoral landscapes in South Gippsland. (B)
