The Snowy Mountains and Beyond by Local and Heritage Rail

This fully-escorted, 7-day escape, travelling by local and heritage rail, augmented by a private coach, takes you to places you may never have thought of visiting on a very special loop from Sydney to northern Victoria, into the Snowy Mountains and across to Canberra before returning to Sydney. Includes numerous special treats like a whole day on your own privately-chartered heritage train featuring restored carriages that once served the iconic ‘Spirit of Progress’; a ride on a rail ‘trike’ at Ladysmith; private visits to heritage rail yards and museums; spectacular silo art on Victoria's Silo Art Trail; special dining experiences in Rutherglen, Nimbo, Mulwala and Canberra; a cruise on Lake Mulwala; a visit to the bushranger Daniel “Mad Dog” Morgan’s lookout; lunch with the owners of a working farm held for 5 generations in the same family; and being part of the always moving Last Post Ceremony at the Australian War Memorial. This tour is packed with visits to iconic institutions, great meal inclusions, wonderful scenery, quality accommodation, and of course, the joy of travelling through open countryside on a train.
