We will roam the cobblestone cul-de-sacs of the Rocks or in the markets, botiques, cafes and pubs of Paddington, before heading off to exquisite galleries and a visit a few of the local artist studios.In CANBERRA we will learn about Australia's culture, history and way of life in the nations capital. Once we have exhausted the monuments and galleries, we will get into the great outdoors! This planned city is one of the few in the world - famous for it's lake, parklands and native bushland surroundings. We will make time to visit Australia National University, the Craft and Design Center and a few very talented artists on the way to a boutique winery on the northern end of town.
Off to MELBOURNE next - a maze of hidden laneways, exclusive restaurants and off the beaten path botiques and wineries. We will not leave out Morington Peninsula, which is known for its quiet country roads, water-front caves, silvery olive groves and rolling hills laced with wineries and vinyards. Yarra Valley is on the list wine tours and artists alike.
ADELAIDE is an elegent city known for it's colonial stone architecture, expansive parklands, lively festivals and incredible sense of space. Explore museums of the North Terrace, and enjoy the gardens sprawled all over the city. A main focus of this area for us is the JamFactory - an internationally known Contemporary Craft and Design center for leading and emerging artists, who work in Ceramic, Glass, Metal and Furniture. Just beyond the city we will disappear into the Adelaide Hills and visit the world class wineries of the Barossa Valley.
