Overview

You’re invited to join Bill and Dawn Williamson as they return to their Aussie roots. Having lived in Australia for 30 years before settling in California in the 1980s, Bill and Dawn bring a lifetime of stories and insider perspectives to this unforgettable ten-day journey from Melbourne to Sydney.

Your adventure begins in cosmopolitan Melbourne, where vibrant café culture and colorful laneways create an effortlessly stylish atmosphere. From there, sail west to Port Lincoln, renowned as the seafood capital of South Australia. In Adelaide, savor the celebrated wines of the Barossa Valley, then unwind along the sandy shores of Robe.

Cross the Bass Strait to Tasmania, where rugged northern landscapes await, followed by an overnight stay in Hobart, framed by fascinating museums and the dramatic backdrop of Mount Wellington. Your journey concludes in iconic Sydney Harbour—a spectacular finale to an extraordinary voyage.
