DAY 1 Saturday 23rd January, 2021 MELBOURNE TO ALBURY We’re collected from home this morning by our chauffeur service and transferred to meet our O’Shannessy’s Quality Tours coach and crew for our Sydney Australia Day Tour. What a great time to be heading to Sydney – summer on The Harbour, fireworks, food and friends. After completing our home pick up service we head to Wangaratta where we stop for lunch.

OVERNIGHT: Parkroyal Darling Harbour, SYDNEY
DAY 3 Monday 25th January, 2021 SYDNEY HARBOUR SIGHTS Today we uncover the sights of Sydney Harbour. With our guide leading the way we are enlightened to the intriguing stories of the city as we make our way to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair. The chair, carved out of the sandstone by convicts for Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s wife to watch the activity on the Harbour offers great views of the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Fort Denison. So, make sure you have your camera’s packed! Afterwards there will be time to wander along Darling Harbour to feel the ambiance that only Sydney can exude with plenty of eating choices for lunch. Rejoining later, we tour the iconic Sydney Opera House. Journey underneath the sails of one of the world’s greatest buildings of all time, uncovering the stories, history and magic of the House. Afterwards we’ll head back to the hotel to relax before dinner. Lunch at own expense and arrangement OVERNIGHT: Parkroyal Darling Harbour, SYDNEY DAY 4 Tuesday 26th January, 2021 AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATIONS We have a leisurely start to the day before meeting up mid-morning to board our special Captain Cook Cruise – Australia Day is one of the feature events on the Sydney Harbour calendar and we’ll do it in style today as we enjoy a sumptuous lunch and drinks while cruising the Harbour. We’ll see the annual Ferrython and the Sydney State Ferries “dressed up” in spectacular colours as they race for first place under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, followed by a parade of tall ships, small ships, big boats and beautiful classics on the Harbour. The rest of the afternoon we have to ourselves to watch all the activity on the Harbour or relax at the hotel. This evening we will be waterside at Cyrens Bar Grill for dinner and to watch the spectacular Australia Day Fireworks. What a magical end to the day and what a privilege to be an Aussie! OVERNIGHT: Parkroyal Darling Harbour, SYDNEY
DAY 5 Wednesday 27th January, 2021 SYDNEY TO BATEMAN’S BAY This morning we thank our hosts and head towards Wollongong. Taking a moment to admire the views at Stanwell Tops lookout we then discover Wollongong's most popular coastal tourist drive, Sea Cliff Bridge. Enjoy an amazing driving experience, witnessing the stunning views of the Illawarra Escarpment plunging into the South Pacific Ocean. In Kiama we stop for lunch and a chance to visit the famous Blowhole – some of us may like to walk off our lunch and others can watch the water spout. Our next stop isn’t far – the charming village of Berry. Here we’ll have some time to wander down the main street which has some interesting shops and galleries. The last leg of today’s journey sees us arriving in Batemans Bay later this afternoon. OVERNIGHT: Sunseeker Motor Inn, BATEMANS BAY DAY 6 Thursday 28th January, 2021 BATEMAN’S BAY TO LAKES ENTRANCE We continue south on the Pacific Highway, in Boydtown for lunch. Benjamin Boyd, the son of a London Banker established Boydtown at Twofold Bay in the mid 1800’s as his headquarters from where he ran his whaling and grazing exploits. Boyd had grandiose ideas of developing Boydtown to a stage not only to rival nearby Eden but Sydney itself. His grand plans for Boydtown never eventuated and the only buildings erected were the Seahorse Inn – where we enjoy lunch today, Boyd’s Church and Lookout Tower. Our afternoon travels take us through Cann River and Orbost then on to Lakes Entrance. OVERNIGHT: Bellevue on the Lakes, LAKES ENTRANCE DAY 7 Friday 29th January, 2021 LAKES ENTRANCE TO MELBOURNE After breakfast we farewell our hosts and travel along the Princes Freeway to Trafalgar and tour up through Willow Grove, passing the Blue Rock Dam, Hill End, Icy Creek and Noogee, then down the Main Neerim Road to the pretty town of Neerim.
