Overview

Two days. Two completely different landscapes. One continuous private journey from Sydney's coastline to the heart of the nation.
Day 1 begins with breathtaking coastal vistas from Bald Hill Lookout over the Illawarra coastline, before continuing to Kiama to witness the raw power of the ocean at the famous blowhole. From the coast we climb the escarpment via Macquarie Pass into the Southern Highlands, arriving in Bowral for lunch before continuing south to Canberra.
Day 2 is yours to explore the capital at your own pace — the Australian War Memorial, Old Parliament House, Parliament House, the National Gallery, National Museum, and the National Arboretum are all on the table. Have a specific interest or venue in mind? As a fully private tour I'm happy to discuss alternatives within the Canberra region — just ask at the time of booking.
I've been guiding private tours from Sydney since 2009. No strangers, no fixed schedule, no rushing.
