The tour will include a private, behind the scenes look at Parliament House, just for our Bunnik group, complete with a delicious meal prepared by the talented inhouse chefs. Paying tribute to our brave fallen soldiers at the Australian War Memorial, the tour group will have the honour of attending a Last Post Ceremony in the Commemorative Courtyard, a truly memorable experience. Jump on Bunnik’s exclusive hop on-hop off bus visiting key attractions, from the National Museum of Australia to the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House and the National Rose Gardens.
Nature lovers are in luck, with this small group tour offering a departure in October 2021 that coincides with the annual Floriade flower festival. As the streets of Canberra come alive in a kaleidoscope of colourful blooms, they will encounter over 1,000,000 blossoming flowers in Commonwealth Park, along with live entertainment, arts and crafts.
Headed for the coast, the tour enters the beautiful Eurobodalla region in the south of NSW. Tasting the flavours from the local towns, they’ll discover why Bodalla is famous for their ice cream and milkshakes, before relaxing with a glass of wine and sampling the cheese at Tilba Valley Winery & Ale House.
