Following your visit of Australia Zoo, you will drive further north past the Glass House Mountains to Montville.A truly charming village, you will find it a pleasant blend of Tudor, Irish and English cottages of log or stone, Swiss and Bavarian chalets, an old mill water-wheel, colonial and old Queenslanders and, of course, one of the most spectacular and panoramic views over a coastal plain you could find in Australia.

Upon arrival you will have free time to browse along the myriad of art galleries, pottery studios, craft cottages, fashion houses, gift and antique shops, and specialty shops. You may also enjoy some lunch (at your own expense) in one of the many award-winning restaurants, tea rooms and cafes.

Day Trip to Adelaide

Wednesday 30 July - Departs 9:30 AM / Returns 17:00 PM

The Barossa is in South Australia, about 70km north-east of Adelaide, the state’s capital city. Your trip will include a visit of the city centre, The State Library of South Australia and lunch at a local wine bar and kitchen.

The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct. You will have the opportunity to explore all three buildings: the award-winning contemporary Catherine Helen Spence Wing with its iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with its 19th century Victorian splendour, and the 1861 heritage listed Institute Building.

Sweeping stadium views, stylish bar and lounge, premium menu and extensive wine list. Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen is one of Adelaide’s most impressive dining experiences.

Extending across level three of Oval Hotel and into the iconic Adelaide Oval, Bespoke’s unique setting makes a stunning backdrop lunch.

Executive Chef Daniel Simpson’s modern Australian menu brings bold flavours to life through fresh, seasonal produce. Two drinks are included, and you may choose from house wine, beer or a soft drink.

After lunch you will be transferred to the North Terrace, Adelaide city where you can choose to spend your time either at Rundle Mall, The Art Gallery of South Australia or South Australian Museum.

PLEASE NOTE: We have been advised that the carpet is being replaced in the Mortlock Chamber (section of the library) and we are now unable to conduct tours through this section during July so we will amend the Private tour of the State Library slightly and now include access to the basement (old & rare artifacts storage) which is an area of the library usually inaccessible to the public.
