Tour Introduction
Discover the beauty of regional New South Wales on this unforgettable Rosa adventure. From waking to giraffes outside your luxury safari cabin to exploring charming country towns, beautiful gardens and fascinating local attractions, this relaxed getaway is all about wonderful experiences, great company and creating lasting memories with your Sisters.Highlights
Escape the everyday and join your Sisters on a wonderful 5-day Rosa adventure through the heart of regional New South Wales. Travelling together from Melbourne, we'll discover charming country towns, enjoy delicious local food, and share plenty of laughter along the way as we explore some of Australia's most fascinating regional treasures.
The highlight of our journey is a very special two-night stay at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. We'll be staying in luxurious Savannah Cabins overlooking the safari, where you can wake each morning to the incredible sight of giraffes, rhinos and zebras wandering past your private deck. It's an unforgettable experience that feels a world away from everyday life. During our stay, we'll enjoy four exclusive guided safari experiences, along with a full day to explore the zoo at our own pace.
Our journey also showcases some of the regional New South Wales and Victoria's hidden gems. We'll admire the impressive exhibitions at the Benalla Art Gallery, wander through the peaceful Albury Botanic Gardens, and experience the beauty and tranquillity of the spectacular Cowra Japanese Gardens. There'll also be time to browse the boutique shops of Parkes and Forbes, stretch our legs beside the picturesque Tocumwal River Reserve, and visit the iconic CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope, affectionately known as "The Dish."
As with many great road trips, part of the adventure is the journey itself. We'll be travelling through Australia's beautiful countryside, with comfortable coach travel linking each destination. To ensure the journey is relaxed and enjoyable, we'll stop every 1½ to 2 hours in welcoming country towns, giving everyone the chance to stretch their legs, enjoy a coffee, browse local shops or simply soak up the atmosphere before continuing on to our next Sisterhood experience.
