WE’VE ADAPTED OUR TOURS TO MAXIMISE YOUR ENJOYMENT AND MAINTAIN HEALTH AND SAFTEY

Winter is a wonderful time to take in the sites and sounds of city and country in Victoria. For the twin towns of Daylesford and Hepburn, we’ll spend most of our time in the fresh country outdoors and, when safe and possible, we will take a look at some of the most historical parts of the architectural built environment the towns have to offer.

In East Melbourne we’ll explore, the sometimes forgotten end of the city where it all began, built on gold from the central highlands. The early Victorian architecture provides a backdrop to the modern political, cultural and economic heart of the city.
