Things to do

Take in Brisbane River
Kayak along the Brown Snake, abseil down the Kangaroo Point Cliffs—even sign up for a twilight kayak tour—for some spectacular views of the city.
Admire Sydney Harbour
For one of the most cost-effective ways to see the harbour, jump on the Manly Ferry. Departing regularly from Circular Quay, the journey passes the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and stunning waterfront scenes.
Visit Lone Pines Koala Sanctuary
Get to know Australia’s famous furry icon. Make a day of it and cruise down the river with Mirimar Cruises to learn about Brisbane’s history before arriving at Lone Pine to learn about all things koala.
Coastal Sydney Stroll
Starting at Bondi Beach, the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk follows the ocean’s edge and takes in clifftops, bays, a string of beautiful beaches and plenty of spots to pause for coffee. Stop at one of the headlands and look out to sea; during the Australian winter, migrating humpback whales can often be spotted offshore.
Howard Street Wharves
Floating riverside bars, Greek, Italian and Japanese fine dining spots dotted along the boardwalk, and Brisbane’s first CBD craft brewery all reside here.

Walk-through Melbourne's arcades
Take a walk-through Melbourne's arcades and lane ways to find the hole-in-the-wall cafes, secret shops, tiny wine bars and iconic restaurants.

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. 

 

Private 60 minute tour of State Library of South Australia | 30 July 2025 – 11:00am

An expert librarian will take you on a walk sharing stories of how the State Library began. Your experience starts at the historic Adelaide Circulating Library to learn the history of the building. By 1861, the collection of books held there was to became the first public library in South Australia. The Adelaide Circulating Library has been used in the past as a backdrop to several movies including Shine and Gallipoli. Continue your way to the basement to see some of the interesting old & rare artifacts housed in the library. Discover how the state’s most important treasures are maintained in the state-of-the-art storage and how the preservations team cares for the collection.
