Tour Itinerary Day 1 We begin our adventure early, travelling southeast of Melbourne through the pastoral landscape of South Gippsland to hike and explore the Wilsons Promontory National Park. Walk on squeaky beaches, watch the ocean of Bass Strait pound on to the Australian mainland's most southerly point, hike along spectacular granite rock formations with fantastic views and learn about the coastal flora and native wildlife (perhaps sighting emus and wombats!) In the afternoon we travel to the coastal township of Lakes Entracnce; Gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and Australia's longest beach - Ninety Mile Beach. (D) Day 2 This morning we commence our journey into the Snowy River Country, taking a break to fly down the 'Zip Wire' (optional activity at own expense). Our journey along the scenic Barry Way is spectacular as we watch the Snowy River wind below us and cross the border into NSW. In the afternoon, let the bus do all the work as we climb high into the Australian Alps (seasonal Nov-May). Enjoy a rewarding hike along an alpine track (21/2 hour round trip) absorbing stunning views of the glacial 'Blue Lake' and the peak of Mt Kosciuszko (the highest point in Australia). During winter, (Jun-Oct) we visit the ski village of Persisher/Smiggins for fun in the snow (optional hire of togoggans or snow tubes at own expense). Stay overnight at the Lake Jindabyne Hotel where you'll get to enjoy the mountain life; perhaps a sauna, swim or drink at the bar while taking in the magnificent view of the lake. (B, D) Day 3 For early risers, take the opportunity to fish in the lake for trout or hit the water, with optional activites including water skiing and/or wake boarding (summer oly and at own expense).
