Really could there be any more moving or memorable time to visit Canberra than ANZAC Day … we depart Sydney for the leisurely drive to Canberra arriving in time for lunch before we visit Cockington Green Gardens. Our days in Canberra will also include a cruise on Lake Burley Griffin, a visit to the National Portrait Museum, the National Museum of Australia, the Royal Mint, and of course the Australian War Memorial.

Every year on the 25th of April, hundreds of thousands of Australians and New Zealanders around the world gather at dawn on Anzac Day. Anzac Day is a time for the community to come together to remember and recognise the service and sacrifice of members of the Australian Defence Force. Originally a commemoration of the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli in modern-day Turkey in 1915, Anzac Day is a public expression of gratitude and reflection which resonates to the present day.

“We will remember them” as we join this very special ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the National War Museum, our day of remembrance will continue after we have breakfast back in our hotel and before we head back to the ANZAC Parade and National Ceremony.

This very special tour is a definite ‘must do once’ tour …

Located around 270 kilometres to the north-west of Sydney the areas of Mudgee, Gulgong and Hill End exude country charm and provide travellers a chance to reset their senses offering the best of both worlds with quaint central townships and picturesque country landscapes.The township of Mudgee was designed by Robert Hoddle, famed for designing the city of Melbourne … the broad wide streets abound with many fine old stately buildings from the last century, many of which are now classified by the National Trust.

In contrast the township of Gulgong is a step back in time with its original and narrow bent streets and high footpaths. Gulgong was founded in the gold rush era when it was estimated more than 20,000 people flocked to the area. The streetscape and heritage buildings haven’t changed much since the late 1800’s many complete with the original verandahs and iron-lace balconies … one such gem is The Prince of Wales Opera House, it is the oldest performing arts venue still being used for its original intention in Australia, and whose history boasts a performance by Dame Nellie Melba.

Hill End also owes its existence to the gold rush of the 1850’s it is now home to a small eclectic community and where visitors can explore the town through its museums, arts community and more … the world’s largest gold specimen, the ‘Holtermann Nugget’ was found in Hill End in 1872. The famous nugget was a 630lb rock containing more than 75% gold. Our journey home will see us travel through the Upper Hunter Valley with a visit to Singleton. (Image courtesy Tourism Australia)

We might not be heading to the ‘back of Bourke’ but we’ll certainly be heading in to outback NSW and on to the township of Bourke. Once a major 19th century river port and trading post, Bourke is an inviting outback town on the banks of the Darling River. Bourke is well noted for its historic landmarks, such as the blacksmith’s workshop from the Cobb & Co stagecoach days, Carrier’s Arms Hotel and Bourke Courthouse where bushranger Captain Starlight was charged after his capture in 1868.

And even though we are not at the back of Bourke we will visit the Back O’ Bourke Exhibition Centre, where we hear tales of early exploration and the paddleboat trade, and learn about the Aboriginal people of the region, farmers, stockmen, bush poets, bushrangers and Afghan cameleers. Legendary Australian poet Henry Lawson lived in Bourke in the 1890s.

As summed up by one travel writer “a cruise on Murray Princess is a fun and enjoyable experience; for many people who go, it’s undoubtedly a “bucket list” trip. If you enjoy relaxed cruising, community spirit, exploring quaint townships and seeing plenty of wildlife, it is one to put on the list.”

The PS Murray Princess is a true inland paddlewheeler built for the Murray River, with a character and charm of yesteryear. It is the largest inland paddlewheeler in the southern hemisphere. Catering for just 120 passengers, she brings the unique advantages of small ship cruising to the remarkable setting of Australia’s outback. The PS Murray Princess cruises between Mannum, Murray Bridge and Salter’s Station along the Murray River. Our 4 night cruise takes us north on the great Murray River from the historic river port of Mannum to Blanchetown. We will follow in the wake of great Australian pioneers along the outback river highway, experiencing the magic, majestic, and spectacular scenery from towering cliffs to expansive farmlands. Along the way, we’ll see a great variety of Australian wildlife, including kangaroos and many of the 350 bird species that inhabit the riverlands. Highlights include a visit to Salter’s Station vineyard for a wine tasting at the cellar door, visit a typical Australian farm, woolshed and wildlife shelter, enjoy an Aussie barbecue beside the river and visit Ngaut Ngaut Aboriginal Reserve, an aboriginal archaeological site. This absolutely wonderful tour will also see us visit Wagga Wagga, Swan Hill and Hay as we make our way to and from Sydney … book now, and tick this one off the bucket list.

No better, or prettier time for a quick jaunt down the highway to visit Canberra than in the Spring when the city bursts with the colours of Floriade. The idea of Floriade was that of Christiaan Slotemaker de Bruine who was a landscape architect for the government, and wanted to do something magnificent to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Canberra in 1988.

The Floriade display is the largest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere with over 150,000 annuals including 65,000 tulips and 20,000 daffodils. No trip to Canberra would be complete without a visit to the National Portrait Gallery and the Australian War Memorial for the Last Post Ceremony.

The Riverina really is one of the nation’s most picturesque regions with much to offer everyone, it is home to the Murrumbidgee River and its waterways. The River and its waterways make their way through an array of charming towns and natural wonders, all just waiting to be explored. Sitting in the heart of Australia’s food bowl there are so many treats from wines and fruits, to the artisan delights of locally made chocolate, liquorice and cheeses.

Did you know that the Riverina is home to the world famous Chiko Roll, the birth place of the Kelpie, the Elvis capital of Australia, and there’s a memorial where a dog sits on a tuckerbox waiting for its master … and did we mention how they love their racing in the Riverina, whether it’s horse racing, greyhounds, camels, sheep or even yabbies.

We would need more than just our five days to explore all of the Riverina but we will take in fantastic places and sights such as Leeton, where we will do a ‘taste of Leeton tour’, Junee, and its famous liquorice and chocolate factory. We also visit Griffith, and the Citrus Sculptures, more than 70 larger than life citrus tree sculptures that line the main street of Griffith. (Image courtesy Tourism Australia)

Every now and then there are places you visit that remind you that life – and the world – are beautiful. In mid-October through to early November the streets and parks of Grafton, set in NSW Northern rivers area, are transformed into something that resembles a dream as the Jacaranda trees explode in all their purple glory providing you that sense of wonder.

The Jacaranda season is surprisingly brief, which only makes the experience more memorable. The trees generally start to blossom in mid-October and by the first week of November (when we are visiting) the streets and footpaths are carpeted in fallen purple blossom. For anyone who may be a little sceptical on making the voyage to Grafton, this isn’t just a ‘oh yeah, there’s a couple of flowering trees, it is street after street, pathway after pathway, and parkland after parkland chock-a-block with these beautiful flowering trees. It’s one of those visits that will undoubtedly keep you coming back year after year. It’s a trip filled with beautiful memories, all made even more special due to the relatively short time frame that the Jacaranda trees bloom. (Image courtesy Destination NSW)

Described by the locals as “the best place on earth” the tiny island of Norfolk Island in the South Pacific is defined by its pine trees, jagged cliffs and rich history. With its World Heritage listed buildings, sublime scenery, unique culture and intriguing past make Norfolk Island one of Australia’s most fascinating destinations. Settled by descendents of mutineers who speak a mix of Tahitian and 18th century English, it’s a friendly place where waving to everyone you pass is mandatory, cows have right of way and everyone knows everyone else. It’s the only place in the world where the telephone book lists people under their nicknames, such as Book and Bing, Diddles, Pinky, Spud, Lettuce Leaf and Slugs.

Of course with so much to see and do you need to look at our full itinerary to see all the amazing things we will be doing, but one of the many highlights is a progressive dinner where we travel with our local guide as they take us to the homes of some of the locals providing a different course in each of their homes.

December, and Christmas … this tour will have us enjoy everything about Christmas before Christmas … starting with a Christmas Crackers Lunch on the first day of our tour, through to the awe inspiring display of Christmas lights at the Hunter Valley Gardens, and a Christmas lunch cruise on the day we return to Sydney.

The highlight of this tour though will be the Christmas Lights Spectacular held at the Hunter Valley Gardens … the Spectacular is the Southern hemispheres largest lights display and will bring the joy and magic of Christmas to us all. The Gardens will dazzle us with stunning lights like we’ve never seen before … with over 1.5 million Christmas lights on show there are enough lights to cover a football field. There are a series of recently created immersive displays including the White Christmas scene, Lover’s Corner, and new light tunnels. With over 19 kilometres of string lighting be thankful we are not the ones who have to unroll it each year …

Our tour to the Hunter Valley will also see us enjoy the magic of the Gardens during the day … spread across 14 hectares and encompassing 10 internationally themed gardens there are over 6,000 trees, 600,000 shrubs and 1 million ground covers to explore ensuring there is something for everyone.
