3 Day Melbourne to Sydney Unleashed
Take a trip to Sydney without missing anything along the way! Better than taking a plane, stop and explore the beautiful part of the country between Australia's two main cities - Melbourne and Adelaide. We stop off at the national capital, Canberra where you can visit the war museum and Parliament House. We also make a stop at Australia's tallest mountain, Mt Kozciuszko, after we visit the Snowy Mountains, home to some of the country's famous literary geniuses. Other highlights include Wilson's Prom and Lakes Entrance.

Itinerary and trip notes
Itinerary: day by day
Day 1 – Melbourne to Wilson’s Promontory
DEFAULT PICK UP: Nomads Industry (196 A’Beckett St), 06:30am
Leaving from this great city, we'll navigate the the road out to the most southerly point of the Australian mainland; Wilson's Promontory. Here we take in a national park of great natural beauty where kangaroos and emus live amongst the verdant green bushland and the waves crash upon the stunning coastline nearby. We'll take a hike up along the granite walkway to lookout, and take in the numerous scenic points. Our afternoon journey takes us out to the edge of the Tasman Sea and to our overnight break on the Edge of the coastal Lakes. (D)
Day 2 – Lakes Entrance to Snowy Mountains
Head north through the magnificent Snowy River region and get a taste for mountain lifestyle before we cross borders into New South Wales. Our evening destination is placed right in the heart of the Australia’s Snowy Mountains. We may be high up already, but later today we’re going even higher – Mt Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak at 2,228 metres above sea level. Don’t be put off: it’s a relatively moderate hike from the top of the Crackenback Express chairlift, or you can take the shorter walk to the lookout point. (BD)
Day 3 – Snowy Mountains to Sydney
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll travel across the Monaro plains and learn a little about Australia’s biggest ever engineering project, the Snowy Mountains Scheme. Then we are bound straight for the Nation’s Capital, Canberra. Architecturally designed from the ground up by Walter Burley Griffin, it’s awash with cool green spaces and grand boulevards. We’ll tour the iconic Parliament House set atop a slight incline, as well as the Australian War Memorial, even pass by a number of Foreign Embassies. Destined for the largest city in Australia we are welcomed by the busy city streets of Sydney where our Metro, Rock and Top End trip comes to an end. (B)
