Thanks to Oz Experience Mt Kosciuszko and Thredbo are now officially on the international backpacker trail.
Oz Experience is the only backpacker company going into Thredbo over summer making this an exclusive
opportunity for international travellers. Six buses every week will overnight in Thredbo as part of the Sydney
to Melbourne 3-day trip (which also operates in reverse).

Already over 100 Oz Experience customers have reached Australia’s highest point. The highly trained Oz
Experience Guides add immense value to the trip by explaining the environmental and cultural significance
of the Snowys to our international guests who in turn will be providing valuable support to local businesses.
Mr. Greg Cole, General Manager of Oz Experience says “The Adventure Tours Australia Group prides itself on
continually providing new and improved experiences for our customers. Our customers will love this once in
a lifetime challenge.

We celebrate the launch of our enhanced itinerary in mid-November when we host a group of twenty topselling
UK travel agents, from the Gold Medal Group (the second largest UK travel wholesaler of product to
Australia). It’s our intention to spread the word as quickly as possible!”

Spaceship drivers, will also be encouraged to visit the Thredbo region.

With East Coast, Regional and National Passes available Oz Experience tours are full of unique Australian
experiences at an affordable cost. By working closely with local suppliers Oz Experience is able to produce
high quality tours rich in Aussie content unlike any other company.
