Tour description

This mid-winter break combines history, culture, and celebration, all wrapped up with the charm of a traditional Yulefest dinner.

We begin with morning tea at Mt Tomah before journeying to Bathurst. Here we explore Ben Chifley’s Cottage, discover the grand architecture of the National Trust Court House, and pay our respects at the Boer War Memorial and Carillon. Racing fans will delight in a hot lap around the iconic Mount Panorama circuit, before our evening highlight – a Yulefest banquet at Abercrombie House, a magnificent Scottish baronial mansion glowing with mid-winter cheer.

The following day brings more Bathurst highlights with a visit to the National Motor Racing Museum, followed by morning tea in Oberon and time to enjoy the village’s alpine charm.
