DAY 1: (MT, L, D) TUNCURRY- GOLDCOAST Monday 6th May 2024
Good morning everyone, we are off on another memorable tour, this time we are heading north to take in the sights and attractions at Queensland’s Scenic Rim. Our base for the next 4 nights will be on the Gold Coast as we fit in as much as we can, seeing the beautiful Hinterland and coastline.
Stopping for comfort stops along the way, we make our first tour at the Woolgoolga Sikh Museum, Guru Nanak Sikh. They will also put on a lunch for us here as well. The Museum showcases the Sikh identity and religion, explores the complexities of Sikh spirituality, and the dedication of Sikh people throughout history in both Australia and the world. The exhibits contain information on the Sikh understanding of the origins of the universe, the lives and teachings of the Ten Gurus, the Sikh empire, Sikhs in the world wars, the Sikh ANZAC contribution, the first migration of Sikhs to Australia and finally, the establishment of a Sikh community in Woolgoolga. After a very interesting tour, we continue our journey north, ending our day at our accommodation at Southport.

DAY 2: (B, D) GOLDCOAST FREETIME & OUTBACK SPECTACULAR Tuesday 7th May 2024

DAY 3: (B, L, D) SCENIC RIM CAMELS & LAVENDER Wednesday 8th May 2024 This morning we make our way through the Scenic Rim region known as a thriving rural paradise set in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and surrounded by World Heritage-listed national parks.

Here we will enjoy a farm talk and tour with a yummy morning tea featuring their products.

Next we visit Moogerah Dam which is located amongst the spectacular scenery of the Scenic Rim, The dam is a popular location for fishing and watersports. Completed in 1961, the water from the dam is used for irrigation along Reynolds Creek and also supplies water to Warrill Creek and Warrill Valley farmers through a series of diversions. Moogerah is an un-gated dam, meaning that when it reaches 100 per cent capacity, water flows over the spillway and safely out of the dam. Now off to lunch at the stunning Kooroomba Vineyards & Lavender farm, where the lavender is in bloom all year round! We will enjoy a ploughman’s lunch and lavender ice-cream here, with time spent perusing the gift shop or doing some wine tasting. Accommodation- Southport Sharks / Dinner at hotel
