Step back in time at Hazeldean, a huge pastoral property with a homestead and outbuildings that date back to the late 19th century. Continue to explore this fascinating area with a visit to Monaro’s cold-climate country gardens, developed by generations of local pioneering families.
After a restful night spent in deluxe accommodation, you’ll journey through alpine valleys to Victoria’s scenic north-east. Discover historic gold-rush towns, celebrate Bright’s Autumn Festival and enjoy a gourmet farewell dinner before making the return trip back to Sydney.
