Our award-winning guide, Luke aka ‘Gollum’, (his fellow guides gave him the Best Victorian Guide award in 2006 which makes it even more special), has worked the Melbourne <> Sydney for the last 3 years. He tells us why these are his favourite spots on these 3 days:
Snowy Mountains – It’s always surprising to see the changes of the seasons and the differences in the environment as the altitude changes. Travelers are always find the extreme changes to the environment in this region – weather, altitude, flowers, sky - interesting.
Lakes Entrance – Having a wicked coffee and watching the big Pelicans on the foreshore. It’s a simple but rewarding pleasure.
Wilson’s Promontory – I love body surfing at the quiet beaches at the ‘Prom. It’s great seeing how amazed people are when they are lucky enough to see wild Wombats on the beach.
