wooden sculptures. A local wood carver has taken the stumps of trees and carved them
into images of Australia at War. We meet at the Jetty to join the 11am departure on the
Stormbird (fully enclosed cabin) for a picturesque 30km cruise through the Gippsland
Lakes to Metung for lunch. The morning cruise takes us into Lake King, then around the
shores of Metung to the hotel. Stormbird docks in Metung, leaving time after lunch to
explore the town’s shops and attractions before boarding for the return trip which takes
us around Rigby Island and Chinaman’s Creek. We arrive back at the Lakes Entrance

LAKES ENTRANCE TO ALBURY VIA GREAT ALPINE ROAD
Happy Easter! Today we head into the mountains along one of the most spectacular
roads in Australia ‐ the Great Alpine Road. The highway follows the Tambo River Gorge
astounding with its range of atmospheres. From Omeo we travel via Cobungra towards
Hotham. Here the Great Alpine Road winds gently up the range providing occasional
glimpses of the Benambra Plains and Mt Kosciuszko on the far horizon. Our journey
takes us to Dinner Plains for lunch then on through the pretty sub alpine villages of
Harrietville to Bright, one of Victoria's most attractive tourist destinations surrounded
by the towering Australian Alps. From here we travel to Albury for our overnight
accommodation.
OVERNIGHT: Mantra Albury, ALBURY
DAY 4 Monday 13th April, 2020
ALBURY, LAKE MULWALA AND COROWA
Albury has a distinctive character with grand old buildings, richly established gardens
and broad tree‐lined streets. We’ll see Monument Hill which was constructed in 1923
and stands 493 feet above sea level. Close by is the Albury Botanical Gardens, with the
first trees being planted in 1877. At Yarrawonga, we join the Paradise Queen for our
luncheon cruise on Lake Mulwala. The lake is dominated by a vast number of trees
standing in the water and is part of the massive Lake Hume project to harness the waters
of the Murray for irrigation. Returning to Albury we travel via Corowa, on the New South
Wales side of the Murray River, to stop at the Federation Museum to see the collection
of material relating to the Federation of Australia and the part Corowa played in its
development.
OVERNIGHT: Mantra Albury, ALBURY
DAY 5 Tuesday 14th April, 2020
THE SILO ART TRAIL
Today we’re hunting striking artworks painted on silos in Victorian townships. Tungamah
was the first of the silos painted and features several Brolgas and a Kookaburra. In
St James we will notice a large mural of Sir George Coles, the founder of Coles
Supermarkets. The Devenish silo features both a First World War nurse and a modern
day combat medic. The Goorambat silos were painted by famed iconic Melbourne
Street artist Dvate, known for his striking renditions of endangered animals from across
Australia. Whilst in Goorambat we will also see the impressive “Sophia” mural in the
Uniting Church. After lunch we welcome a local guide on‐board the coach for a guided
tour of Benalla, pointing out the many wall murals. We return to Albury following a
great day’s sightseeing.
OVERNIGHT: Mantra Albury, ALBURY
DAY 6 Wednesday 15th April, 2020
HEADING HOME
Our travels home take us into the historic Mitchell Shire, nestled in the scenic plains,
valleys and mountains of the Goulburn River and Ranges. This “geographical heart” of
Victoria surrounds the Campaspe and Goulburn Rivers and contains many hidden
treasures. Nagambie is home to legendary race horse Black Caviar, born here in 2006
and who finished her career unbeaten, winning all 25 of her races and claiming almost
$8 million in prize money. We now board the Goulburn Explorer for our lunch cruise,
passing horse studs and wineries. After a relaxing couple of hours, we reboard the coach
and make our way back to Melbourne, where our chauffeurs will await our arrival to
transfer us safely home with memories of a fascinating and rewarding tour.
