 Australia - Melbourne: Snowy River Secrets Melbourne to Melbourne (with the option to return into Sydney)
The Snowy River Secrets is a classic journey into the unique Australian wilderness. This is the ultimate way to experience East Gippsland. The high quality vehicle-based expedition visits the most remote region of southeastern Australia - an unspoilt wilderness of rugged mountains, deep, pure rivers, dense rainforest, abundant wildlife and long ocean beaches. Highlights of the expeditions are the plunging ramparts of the Snowy River Gorge and the upland rainforests of Errinundra Plateau.
The expedition travels deep into the rain shadow of the Snowy River Gorge then high into the cool temperate rainforests of Errinundra Plateau before plunging down to the wilderness coastline. East Gippsland is renowned for its diversity of wildlife and flora.
