Embark on a 12-day adventure with Ross Garden Tours and experience the beauty of autumn in Australia’s high country. Departing from Sydney, your friendly guides will take you via Canberra through to the spectacular Monaro high country at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.

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.
