DAY TWO
Today we head off for the mountains, first stop Thredbo Village. You have the option of a chair lift ride or a stroll around the village. From here you board the coach and drive to Bullocks Flat for a look at the one and only famous Skitube of Australia and a delicious morning tea beside the beautiful Thredbo River. Then it is back in the coach for a scenic drive through the mountains looking at Smiggins, Perisher and Charlottes Pass.

DAY THREE
Today we pass over the Eucumbene Dam wall on your way to visit the Snowy Hydro System with a visit to the Snowy Scheme Museum at Adaminaby. This is an informative display celebrating the people and the power of the scheme. This peaceful town is where you will also have morning tea. Then it is back on the bus and off to Cooma where you will have lunch in the park before heading to the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre on the edge of town. You will be given a tour of the facility giving an over view of how the scheme actually works.

You then hop back on the bus for a short trip to the Gaden Trout Hatchery where you will have a guided tour and discover how cold water sport fish are bred. Then you are off to the Wildbrumby Distillery for free tastings of their locally produced schnapps, gin and vodka. You are also free to wander through their extensive sculpture gardens. It's then back to the hotel for a BBQ lunch on the deck. The afternoon is your time to explore Jindabyne. Being located in the center of town makes it easy to explore, you can also go for a stroll along the concrete footpaths that wind around the lake.
