Day 1: Monday 26 May: New Zealand to Sydney

Today we are picked up from our home addresses anywhere in the greater Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch areas and taken to the airport to join our short flight to Australia.

On arrival in the cosmopolitan city of Sydney we are met and transferred to our accommodation at the centrally located   Marriott Sydney.  Vivid Sydney is the largest event of its kind in the world bringing together artist, designers and  manufacturers from all over the world to illuminate, interpret and transform Sydney’s urban spaces into a grand outdoor gallery.  Fabulous displays light up the night throughout the city and harbour and we are right in the midst of it all.

 

Day 2: Tuesday 27 May: Sydney (BD)

 

A leisurely start to the day with a delicious buffet breakfast. We then join our coach to enjoy the sights of Sydney. We drive through the historic Rocks area, cross  Sydney Harbour Bridge and have time for a stroll along  picturesque Manly Beach.

We return to hotel hotel early afternoon with time for a relax before joining our Tour Manager for a walk around the light installations.  This is a walk at your own pace and you can head back to the hotel when you are ready.

 

Day 3: Wednesday 28 May: Bowral (BLD)

Enjoy breakfast and then we join our coach and travel through to the scenic Southern Highlands.

Here we visit Retford Park, built in 1887 by the Hordern family and lavishly redesigned in the 1960’s by James Fairfax.  A stunning “Portuguese pink” mansion where we enjoy a guided tour followed by a short tour of the    pristine gardens dotted with sculptures and    artworks.  We enjoy a light lunch here. For the Bridgerton fans, Season 3 was filmed at Retford Park. A perfect setting!.

It is then onto Milton Park where we enjoy  a delicious high tea with petit pastries, finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with homemade jam & fresh clotted cream along with freshly brewed specialty teas and coffees in the grandeur of this heritage estate.

We also enjoy a visit to the famous Bradman Oval, a heritage listed cricket ground where Don Bradman’s ashes are scattered. He played at the ground in the 1920’s.  Of course, we must also keep an eye out for the statue of Mary Poppins, that beloved magical nanny. Her creator claims that this is the closest birthplace of this fictional character.

Tonight join our Tour Manager for dinner and a walk through some of the fabulous light installations at Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens. (This walk is done at your own pace, and we would suggest you take a torch with you.)
