5D4N Southeast Splendour

There is a choice of two driving routes today. The shorter one takes you directly to Canberra via the highway. The more scenic but slightly longer route takes you through the Royal National Park and onto the Grand Pacific Drive with spectacular coastal scenery. Canberra is situated in the Australian Capital Territory and home to many galleries, museums and the artificially created Lake Burley Griffin.

Travel to Queanbeyan and on to the historical village of Braidwood. Continue on to Batemans Bay, a picturesque coastal village known for its crayfish and oysters. Travel through Broulee to Moruya and then on to the quaint village of Tilba Tilba. There are more coastal roads to explore on your way to Merimbula.

Travel through Eden and explore the Ben Boyd National Park and Eden Whaling Museum. Pass Cann River and Orbost, situated on the banks of the Snowy River, before travelling on to Lakes Entrance. This is a unique area with rivers, lakes and lagoons joining 90 Mile Beach. Explore the nearby villages of Metung.

Travel south to Sale, a supply and residential centre for the Bass Strait oil fields and through the lush pastoral hills of Gippsland. From
Wonthaggi enjoy coastal scenery all the way to Phillip Island, home to Australia’s famous Little penguins. The ‘Penguin Parade’ occurs each evening at sunset and should not be missed (own expense).

Take the short journey into the city of Melbourne. The car is booked until the following day and should be dropped off at the city or airport by the same time as it was picked up on day 1 to avoid any additional charges
