Day 1 - Melbourne City

A welcome by the local Indigenous community precedes your transfer to a luxury city hotel in 5 star comfort.  A themed lunch follows at Federation Square situated in the heart of Melbourne and alongside the famous Yarra River. The lunch will showcase some of Melbourne's world famous events, including The Flower and Garden Show, Melbourne Wine and Food Festival, Grand Prix, Spring Racing Carnival, Melbourne Comedy Festival and of course the Australian Football League Grand Final. 

After lunch you will receive souvenir walking maps highlighting Melbourne's shopping gems including renown QV & GPO retail precincts, as well as the more elusive but exclusive laneways of Melbourne.  Vouchers are included for chocolates, champagne or beer at highlighted locations.  A stroll back to your hotel will be followed by cocktails at dusk on the Melbourne Observation Deck and dinner on the Tram Car Restaurant as you tour Melbourne by night. 

Day 2 - The Great Ocean Road

After an early breakfast in the hotel, a car rally in Porsches, Lamborghinis and Maseratis takes you along the Great Ocean Road.  This full day event includes a fresh seafood lunch on a mountain overlooking the ocean.  You fly back in a helicopter with a bird’s eye view of awe inspiring Shipwreck Coast and Twelve Apostles. 

Dinner tonight is a spectacle!  After champagne amongst priceless pieces of art, members of Melbourne theatrical community perform for your guests under the famous stained glass ceiling at the National Gallery of Victoria.  Our exclusive use of this venue ensures an unforgettable evening.  A Hansom Cab (horse-drawn carriage) will take you back to your hotel.

Day 3 - Yarra Valley

A light breakfast and it's off to the Yarra Valley.  You are up close and personal with Australia's native animals and then taught to throw a boomerang. How about a glass of something local and sparkling? So many wineries, so little time. 

After lunch at the Sebel Heritage Resort, your guests have the option of having a lesson in telling their cabernet from their chianti, a bucket of balls on the driving range or enjoying a massage. Drive back via spectacular panoramic scenery, rest up, and tonight we enjoy a casual riverside Aussie barbie.

Day 4 - Emu Bottom Homestead

Enjoy breakfast at leisure, then off to Emu Bottom Homestead, a heritage property in country surroundings. Join in Aussie sheep dog trials, shearing, two-up competitions, whip cracking, bush damper, lamb on the spit and country scones.

How about horse shoe throwing?  Reflect on a truly memorable Emu Bottom farewell banquet on your way to the airport, located only 15 minutes away.
