We will take a quick loop around Mildura before heading to <strong>Mannum</strong> with time to find some lunch before boarding our new home for the next 4 nights. Mid-afternoon the Murray Princess departs historic Mannum, the birthplace of the Murray River trade and communication, and heads upriver while you enjoy a Welcome Dinner. As we cruise under floodlight to our overnight mooring at <strong><em>Caurnamont</em></strong>, you may see nocturnal wildlife on the riverbank.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Come along with Priest’s Coaches to experience the history and beauty of this unique destination. Departing from Wagga Wagga and flying return out of Sydney, this beautiful island getaway is equal parts interesting a relaxing.</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>DAY 1 (L): Wagga Wagga to Sydney &#8211; Tuesday, 2<sup>nd</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>We board our coach this morning in Wagga Wagga and head to Sydney, with a stop along the way to enjoy some lunch. Arriving in Sydney, we will check in and then you are free to find some dinner in the hotel restaurant or choose from the many options available in the airport terminal.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Lunch provided enroute | Dinner at own expense</em></h6>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><strong><em>Rydges Sydney Airport</em></strong></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>DAY 2 (D): Fly to Norfolk Island &#8211; Wednesday, 3<sup>rd</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>This morning, we walk across the road to the Sydney International Airport and check in for our flight to Norfolk Island. Once checked in, we will have plenty of time to find something for breakfast in the terminal, before boarding our flight to paradise. A light lunch will be served on board the flight. Upon arrival on Norfolk Island, we are greeted by our local tour driver and transferred to <strong>Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort, Norfolk Island</strong>. Here we will be greeted by Sandy, Karina &amp; their friendly staff, and this will be our home for the next 7 nights! We have time to settle in and unpack this afternoon, before we enjoy the first of many delicious dinners here on the island.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Light refreshment served in flight | Dinner at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort</em></h6>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><strong><em>Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort, Norfolk Island (7 nights)</em></strong></h6>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>DAY 3 (BD): Orientation Tour &amp; Progressive Dinner &#8211; Thursday, 4<sup>th</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>What better way to start our time on the island than with a half day orientation tour. Following breakfast at our accommodation we will be taken to some of the key historic areas, including <strong>Kingston</strong>, <strong>Cascade</strong> and <strong>Longridge</strong>. This is our chance to learn all about the fascinating history of Norfolk Island. See the famous convict buildings for yourself and enjoy the stories told in the full commentary as you visit each new place. Take in the amazing views from the lookouts, where you’ll get to enjoy our beautiful beaches in all their glory. Learn about Norfolk Island government, laws and of course our unique lifestyle. Some of the highlights include the renowned <strong>Melanesian Chapel</strong> and a visit to the grounds of an old island home &#8211; where you will be served morning tea. After our tour we return to the resort for a free afternoon. From here you can head into the township of Kingston to check out the local shops or take a break and relax by the pool in the resort. To finish off the day, we enjoy a 3-course meal progressing to different Norfolk Island family homes.  A fun night, and a great way to meet the local people, and sample some of the island dishes.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort | Progressive Island Dinner</em></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>DAY 4 (BD): McCullough’s Home &amp; Island Fish Fry &#8211; Friday, 5<sup>th</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>After breakfast at the resort, we travel to the home of <strong>Colleen McCullough</strong>, world renowned author of 24 books who called Norfolk Island home for almost 36 years. Sadly, Colleen passed away in 2015 after a long battle with illness.  Her beloved property “Out Yenna” is now open to tour.  You are escorted through her magnificent home and can view Ric and Colleen’s priceless collection of artefacts gathered on their travels all over the world and see where her books were researched. This a glimpse into the life of a modern-day literary icon. We will split our group in half for this tour, with the other half enjoying some free time to explore town, before swapping with the other group. Dinner tonight is the famous Fish Fry. The <strong>Norfolk Island Fish Fry</strong> is by far the most popular event for any visitor. This fantastic event has been operating for over 40 years. Imagine &#8211; a feast of local dishes, salads and homemade bread, alongside mouth-watering fried fish that has been caught that very day.  Your feast overlooks breathtaking coastal scenery as the sun sets &#8211; with live music in the background. But the day is not over yet, before returning to our accommodation we visit the <strong>Sound &amp; Light Show</strong>. Nightfall at Kingston brings a different mood to the convict settlement. The stillness and the stars are just as they were before mankind arrived in 1788. However, with the dramatic use of real-life sound together with theatrical lighting and costumed actors, the stillness is broken as Pinetree Tours takes you through the horrifying decades of Norfolk Island’s convict era.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort | Dinner at “Orn Daa Cliff”</em></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>DAY 5 (BD): Norfolk Industry &amp; Cyclorama &#8211; Saturday, 6<sup>th</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>An earlier start to things today, after we enjoy our breakfast at the resort, we head out to meet some locals. To get a real insight into the lifestyle on Norfolk Island, we need to meet the people and see them in action.  Norfolk Island has many small businesses making different local products that we can see &#8211; and maybe have a taste of! We will also enjoy morning tea at a beautiful scenic location. After our tour, we return to our accommodation, then head next door to visit the <strong>Cyclorama. </strong>An outstanding attraction &amp; Tourism Awards winner, this stunning 360° panoramic painting has been impressing visitors with its ‘wow’ factor for over 10 years. It brings to life the Bounty mutiny &amp; the history of the Norfolk Island people. This evening, we dine at Bounty Bar &amp; Grill for a two-course dinner, one of the best restaurants on Norfolk.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort | Dinner at Bounty Bar &amp; Grill</em></h6>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h2><strong>DAY 6 (BLD): Norfolk Indulgence &amp; Glass Bottom Boat &#8211; Sunday, 7<sup>th</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>This morning, following breakfast, we head out on the Norfolk Indulgence Tour. We start the tour on the south-eastern side of Norfolk Island, at <strong>Ball Bay</strong> &#8211; just another stunning bay with magnificent ocean views! Here we will learn all about how they get fuel ashore, as this is where the supply is unloaded. We then move on to <strong>Steeles Point</strong>, to enjoy the sheltered valleys behind the coastal cliffs. You may even spot a White Fairy Tern nesting in the forest! From here, we head to the <strong>Captain Cook Monument</strong>, a scenic lookout where you will stand at the spot on the northern coast where Captain James Cook and his officers landed in 1774. It has some of the best sea views on the Island, with offshore rock formations like Bird Rock and Elephant Rock. We will finish the tour the way all fantastic tour should end &#8211; with wine, cheese &amp; crackers on <strong>Mount Pitt</strong>. The Lookout gives a 360° view of the whole island, so it will be a picnic to remember. Next, we will be transferred to <strong>Emily Bay</strong> where Donald will share his knowledge of Norfolk’s unique marine life.  Once you’ve ‘walked the plank’ to board this Mutineer Descendant’s <strong>Glass Bottom Boat</strong> it takes just 60 seconds to be at the reef.  View beautiful coral gardens &amp; tropical fish inside the calm crystal waters of Norfolk’s lagoon.  Don provides a full &amp; interesting commentary on this environmental tour.  You should be prepared for a touch of Norfolk humour. We will enjoy a light lunch with Don. Dinner tonight is in the resort restaurant before we head out for a night to remember. <strong>Wonderland by Night</strong> celebrates the colourful history of Norfolk Island and how the past has shaped its identity.  The setting is 10 acres of magical Norfolk Pines, which are lit up like a magical enchanted forest. Meander along (or ride in the ‘moon buggy’) through a gentle winding path with a descendant of the <strong>Bounty Mutineers</strong>, as they recite poems and light up the dioramas, while sharing entertaining stories. Enjoy supper at the end of the walk, before being transferred back to our accommodation.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast &amp; Dinner at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort | Lunch at Glass Bottom Boat</em></h6>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>DAY 7 (BD): Life as Convict &#8211; Monday, 8<sup>th</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>After our late-night activities last night, we enjoy a leisurely morning today, with breakfast at the resort and time to relax by the pool. Early afternoon, we head out for a <strong>Convict Settlement Tour</strong>, an in-depth tour of the historic Georgian settlement of Kingston. Walk through the cemetery and hear the history of interesting convict &amp; colonial headstones, hear stories of the houses along <strong>Quality Row</strong>. Walk through the ruins of the <strong>New Gaol</strong>, see the Pier Store, Boat Shed &amp; the Crank Mill. Tonight, we continue to experience life as a convict, as we dress up as convicts ourselves and suffer through dinner with the Commandant. Think singing, laugher and a whole lot of silliness.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast &amp; Dinner at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort</em></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>DAY 8 (BD): Breakfast Bushwalk &amp; Souveneirs &#8211; Tuesday, 9<sup>th</sup> February 2027</strong></h2>
<p>We will earn our breakfast this morning, starting the day with a walk in the great outdoors with a delicious breakfast waiting at the end!  Take your choice of a stroll through<strong> Palm Glen Reserve</strong> or for the more energetic, a leisurely 3.5 km walk through scenic <strong>Mt. Bates</strong> (the highest point on the island) to <strong>Captain Cook Monument</strong>. At the end of the walk, we all meet up on the clifftop for a delicious breakfast barbecue. If you would prefer to sleep in and skip the bush walk, but would like to have breakfast on the clifftop, you can join the walkers at Captain Cook Monument and share in the festivities. Following our breakfast feast, we return to our accommodation for some free time for the rest of the day. This is a perfect time to get some last-minute souvenir shopping done or get the last of your relaxing in by the pool. Tonight we enjoy dinner at the Governor’s Lodge Resort.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast at Paradise Hotel &amp; Resort | Dinner at Governor’s Lodge</em></h6>

<h2><strong>Day 2 (BD): Exploring Tamworth &#8211; Friday, 22<sup>nd</sup> January 2027</strong></h2>
<p>Following a hearty breakfast this morning we will visit the <strong><em>Tamworth Country Music Hall of Fame </em></strong>for a guided tour which showcases the country music story in Tamworth. From the welcome introduction, by multi-award-winning actor and Australian icon Jack Thompson, we will experience fascinating exhibits, audio visual presentations and an amazing display of memorabilia. Living history is presented from some of Australia&#8217;s legendary country music artists such as Tex Morton and Slim Dusty, through to contemporary memorabilia from &#8216;new stars&#8217; Keith Urban and Kasey Chambers.  Many of Australia’s major country music stars, past and present, are represented in the displays and many have supplied their own special souvenirs and keepsakes to make this exhibition a very special experience.

The remainder of the day is free to enjoy the performances throughout the city centre. Tamworth is unique at this time of the year with its easy-going camaraderie, echoing such phrases as &#8220;G&#8217;day mate and “where are you from”?  The friendly atmosphere is obvious through its concerts and shows, its buskers, its folding chairs, big hats and eskies.  Enjoy the day before dinner back at the motel. As an optional extra tonight, tickets can be purchased to attend the Golden Guitar Awards Night. This event is much more than the presentation of the coveted Golden Guitars – it’s a fast-paced concert that’s a night of non-stop entertainment and special magic moments you won’t see anywhere else.</p>

<h2><strong>Day 4 (BLD): Tamworth to Nundle &#8211; Sunday, 24<sup>th</sup> January 2027</strong></h2>
<p>This morning after breakfast we join the coach for some local touring.  We head via <strong><em>Dungowan</em></strong> to <strong><em>Nundle</em></strong> where we visit the <strong><em>Nundle Woolen Mill</em></strong>.  The mill backs onto Oakenville Creek, where miners panned for gold more than 100 years ago. It stands as an attractive Woolen Mill and store, evoking the ambiance of a century-old factory. The Mill exterior is a composition of natural hues, while the interior is an explosion of color &#8211; 8 ply, 12 ply and 20 ply yarn, spun and dyed in an extensive range of fashionable colors. Sleek display cabinets are filled with brilliant balls and hanks of wool, enticing experienced and novice knitters alike to begin a new project. The <strong><em>Nundle Woolen Mill Shop</em></strong> opens onto an observation deck where today we join a tour to view the day&#8217;s tasks, be it opening and picking bales of wool, spinning, twisting, or dyeing yarn.  After our tour there is time to browse through the shop before lunch at the historic <strong><em>Peel Inn </em></strong>before we return to Tamworth.  Today is the last day of the festival so this is our final chance to enjoy the festival atmosphere.  Once again, we enjoy dinner at our accommodation.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 1 (LD): WAGGA WAGGA TO YARRAWONGA &#8211; Tuesday, 8<sup>th</sup> December 2026 </strong></h2>
<p>Welcome to our 3-day summer getaway to the award-winning Sebel Yarrawonga overlooking Lake Mulwala. Leaving Wagga Wagga, we head to the <strong>Corowa Distilling Company</strong> for morning tea. From Corowa we visit the heritage-listed <strong>Savernake Station</strong>. The 1886 Homestead is perched gracefully atop a sandhill, offering views of the surrounding native forest. We take a look at the Woolshed and Shearers’ Quarters, dating back to 1912 which have been meticulously preserved to maintain their original functionality while offering a glimpse into a bygone era. For lunch we head into <strong>Mulwala</strong> and stop at the Club, then in the afternoon visit <strong>Rich Glen Yarrawonga Provedore</strong>. Located in the heart of Yarrawonga, experience a tasting of regional produce and explore artisan olive oils, dressings, condiments, wines, cheese and gin.  A great way to end the day before heading to our stunning hotel.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Lunch at Club Mulwala | Dinner at accommodation</em></h6>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><strong>Sebel Yarrawonga Silverwoods | 2 nights</strong></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 2 (BLD): EXPLORING THE REGION &#8211; Wednesday, 9<sup>th</sup> December 2026</strong></h2>
<p>Following a relaxing breakfast, we travel to the historic <strong>Byramine Homestead</strong>. This fascinating colonial house was built in the early 1820s by Elizabeth Hume, sister-in-law of Hamilton Hume the explorer. It is one of the oldest homes in Australia, and its name means ‘rustic retreat’ although it was, in essence, a fortress. Elizabeth Hume’s husband had been murdered by bushrangers.  To protect herself and her 9 children, the house was built in an octagonal shape to provide a clear view of all angles in the case of attack. Often the family had to hide in the cellar which we can see on our tour. Enjoy a tour, wander in the maintained gardens and enjoy morning tea. Next travel to <strong>Koonoomoo</strong> to visit <strong>The Big Strawberry</strong>. Anything you can think of that has strawberries in it, they make it here &#8211; jams, ice creams, liqueurs, milkshakes &#8211; you name it! Time for a bit of retail therapy before enjoying lunch.  Another unique visit this afternoon in <strong>Strathmerton</strong> for our visit to Cactus Country. The Hall family run business has been a labour of love for many years, which we will hear about before a self-guided walk through this large garden with over 4,000 different species of cacti from Africa, North America, Mexico and South America!  Returning to our hotel we have some time at leisure to enjoy the facilities including a day spa, infinity swimming pool and plenty of leisurely walking paths around Lake Mulwala.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast &amp; dinner at accommodation | Lunch at The Big Strawberry</em></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 3 (BL): YARRAWONGA TO WAGGA WAGGA &#8211; Thursday, 10<sup>th</sup> December 2026</strong></h2>
<p>Starting the day with a hearty breakfast, we then check out and pack the coach. Next, we join the <strong>PS Cumberoona</strong> for a morning cruise on Lake Mulwala. The lake was developed in 1939 by the completion of the Yarrawonga Weir, which was part of the massive Lake Hume project to harness the waters of the Murray for irrigation purposes. The Lake is home to hundreds of thousands of ghostly dead gums, tall grey sentinels that remain as a reminder of the past when they drowned with the filling of the Lake. On completion of our cruise, it’s now time to start heading home. We will travel through Howlong, and enjoy lunch from the famous <strong>Howlong Country Bakery</strong>, before returning to Wagga Wagga and bidding you all farewell.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast at accommodation | Lunch at Howlong</em></h6>

Nine trees were planted to honour soldiers killed in World War I however in 2001 a report on the condition of the trees showed that they were no longer safe.

<p>We say farewell to our hosts early this morning and begin our journey to the <strong>West Coast</strong>. This area is part of the huge <strong>South West National Park</strong>, which, combined with the <strong>Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park,</strong> makes up almost a full, one third of the land mass of Tasmania. Of course, much of this area is now World Heritage Listed. We stop at the beautiful <strong>Russell Falls</strong> in the <strong>Mt Field National Park</strong> for our morning tea at the Waterfalls Café – and a great photo opportunity. We then continue to <strong>Derwent Bridge</strong> (the geographical centre of Tasmania) where we stop for lunch at the Wilderness Hotel. Not too far away we visit the <strong>Wall in the Wilderness</strong>. The “wall” is a work in progress which will take several more years to complete. The panels, when complete, will measure 100 meters in length. In the reception area, there are many three-dimensional sculptures to view. This afternoon, we drive through the pristine wilderness of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park through some of the state&#8217;s most spectacular lakes and mountain areas before the steep drive into <strong>Queenstown</strong>, a town which was established because of the discovery of gold and other minerals at Mount Lyell last century. Queenstown is surrounded by mountains, which were once covered in vegetation, but which are now strangely bare and stained purple, grey and pink by from sulphur fumes from mining processes. Bushfires and logging, combined with heavy rain which washed the soil away, have stripped many of the hills of vegetation and created Queenstown’s famous “moonscape”. We check into our accommodation and unwind prior to dinner.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast and dinner in hotel | lunch at Wilderness Hotel</em></h6>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><strong>Gold Rush Inn, Queenstown| 2 nights</strong></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 8 (BLD): GORDON RIVER &#8211; Wednesday, 25<sup>th</sup> November 2026</strong></h2>
<p>Cruising down the iconic <strong>Gordon River</strong> is a must do when visiting Tasmania. Our cruise will bring the river and its rich history to life for an unforgettable experience. Cruising the scenic waterways, we’ll listen to intriguing stories of the region, passage through <strong>Hells Gates</strong> and step ashore <strong>Sarah Island</strong> to see some of Australia’s oldest convict ruins. We quietly cruise on the Gordon River which gives us a chance to see the famous reflections of the forest against the dark, mysterious waters. The Huon Pine, which can be found in this area, is commonly known to live for 2000 years. The age of an ancient tree recently “discovered” was put at 10,000 years and if verified, will be recognised as the oldest on earth. We have the opportunity at Heritage Walk to see these and other trees of the dense forest up close. We return to Queenstown to relax before dinner.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast and dinner at the hotel | Lunch included </em></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 9 (BLD): QUEENSTOWN TO SMITHTON &#8211; Thursday, 26<sup>th</sup> November 2026</strong></h2>
<p>Today, we leave Queenstown and travel north through the mineral rich mountains, crossing the <strong>Vale of Belvoir</strong> and alpine cattle country to reach the jagged contours of <strong>Cradle Mountain National Park</strong>. Enjoy invigorating mountain air as we explore visiting such sights at <strong>Waldheim</strong> and <strong>Dove Lake</strong>. Be transfixed by this beautiful glacial lake with remnants of the last ice age etched in the surrounding rocks. Guided through a cool temperate rainforest we’ll see native trees and hopefully, some wildlife. Enjoy a light lunch at the nearby Cradle Mountain Hotel before heading to the sweet little coastal town of Smithton.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast and dinner at hotel | lunch at Cradle Mountain Hotel</em></h6>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><strong>Tall Timbers Hotel Motel | 1 night</strong></h6>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 10 (BD): SMITHTON TO BURNIE &#8211; Friday, 27<sup>th</sup> November 2026</strong></h2>
<p>This morning we head to <strong>Stanley</strong> and the Northwestern coastline of Tasmania. Whilst here, we visit the <strong>Highfield Historic Site</strong> for a self-guided tour of the mansion which many regard as the birthplace of European settlement in the North West of Tasmania. Built from 1832 to 1835 as a residence for the chief agent of the Van Diemens Land Company, Edward Curr, it represents an important part of Tasmanian historic heritage. With outstanding views of Stanley and The Nut, it is hard to believe this area was once a convict enclave, but the proof is all around us in the convict barracks, cottages, chapel, pigsties and barns. Before leaving town, we have some free time to take a ride on the chairlift to the Summit of <strong>The Nut</strong> (optional and at own cost). Next, we head to <strong>Wynyard</strong> for some free time to purchase lunch, before arriving in <strong>Burnie</strong>, stopping at the <strong>Burnie Regional Museum</strong> to see the Federation Street exhibit and finally arriving at our hotel for the last night on the Apple Isle.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: right;"><em>Breakfast and dinner in hotel | Lunch at own expense </em></h6>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Day 11 (BLD): BURNIE TO SPIRIT OF TASMANIA &#8211; Saturday, 28<sup>th</sup> November 2026</strong></h2>
<p>We have a relaxed start to the day before visiting <strong>Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden</strong>. Wander the commons, immersing ourselves in this internationally recognised garden, classified as a plant museum. The garden should look particularly beautiful at this time of year, so we take our time wandering through. Our lunch venue today is just outside Devonport at the House of Anvers Chocolate Factory. A delicious lunch is planned in this lovely setting, with a chance to look through the retail store. Next, we visit <strong>The Australian Axeman’s Hall of Fame</strong>, which is a national museum showcasing Australia’s wood-chopping sporting champions – very unique! Tonight we board the Spirit of Tasmania for our overnight crossing back to Geelong.</p>

<p>Welcome to our 8-day tour of <strong>Adelaide and Surrounds. </strong>This morning we get underway and travel to Hay and take a look at the <strong>Hay Water Tower Art</strong>.

Next, we call into the <strong>National Shearer’s Hall of Fame – Shear Outback</strong> – a monument to contemplate, celebrate and honour shearers and shearing. We have lunch here, then make our way via Balranald to Mildura for our overnight stay.</p>

<h2><strong>Day 3 (BD): DISCOVERING ADELAIDE &#8211; Saturday, 17<sup>th</sup> October 2026</strong></h2>
<p>Once considered a sleepy city, Adelaide has undergone a rapid transformation with world-class art, music and sporting facilities to discover. We meet our local guide for a tour of the city, and for an excellent overview of the city and its Parklands we make a stop at Montefiore Hill. It was from this spot that Colonel Light planned a great city of the future in the sweeping valley below. Easily seen from the Hill is Adelaide Oval, one of the most beautiful Cricket Ovals in the world. Later this morning we have arranged a tour to the Adelaide Oval. The redeveloped oval offers a unique blend of new and old – from the latest in stadium design to the famous features such as the heritage listed scoreboard, the century-old Moreton Bay Fig trees and the grassed northern mound. We have some free time to purchase lunch at the Adelaide Central Markets and this afternoon we head to beautiful Carrick Hill. Carrick Hill was a creation from the imagination of a man and his wife who decided to bring, to their home city of Adelaide, some of the magic that they had been so captivated by when honeymooning in England. Sir Edward Hayward created a Tudor manor house set in almost 100 acres of scenic bushland. Carrick Hill was bequeathed to the people of South Australia by Sir Edward and Lady Hayward and is now maintained by the State Government.</p>

Walking through the tunnel, we’ll emerge within clawing range of one of Australia’s largest lion prides. The safe but adventurous encounter will leave us amazed. Returning to the resort we have some time at leisure, why not take in the views and watch for wildlife gathering at the waterhole as you unwind in the resort’s heated pool or bar.</p>
