SWAN HILL IN SPRING – OVERNIGHT TRIP
Wednesday 12 September 2018 – Thursday 13 September 2018
$495.00 per person twin share $80.00 single supplement
Day 1 – Renmark – Swan Hill
Our overnight “September Spring Tour” is to Swan Hill on the Murray in Northern Victoria.Sit back and enjoy the service and facilities on board as we make our way to Mildura. We are going to follow the Murray for much of the way today – stopping at a delightful club at Euston for an early lunch before continuing through Robinvale and Nyah on our way to Swan Hill. Our locally based guide will join the coach on arrival for a short sightseeing tour of town including a visit to the Pioneer Settlement Museum which was founded to portray the development of inland Australia between 1830 and 1930. Late afternoon we check into our motel before enjoying dinner in the Paragon café and then experience the Heartbeat of the Murray sound and laser show. This wonderful new sound and light show is the first of its kind and utilizes water, light, laser, sound and special effects to tell the fascinating story of the Murray – from 30 million years ago to today.
Day 2 – Heading home
Leaving Swan Hill this morning we head south on the Murray Valley Highway to Lake Boga, home to the famous Catalina Flying Boat A24-30 – one of only four in Australia. Lake Boga was an ideal stretch of water on which the mighty flying boats could alight. The Flying Boat played an integral part in the allied defence of the South Pacific during World War II, with all types of Flying Boats that were serviced at Lake Boga being represented in the Museum. A special section is dedicated to the United States of America and the Netherlands aircraft and crew who visited Lake Boga during World War II. Heading west we make our way to Lake Tyrell, Victoria’s largest salt lake, covering 20,860 hectres. Lake Tyrrell is dry most of the year, although at times it may be covered by shallow water. Evaporation leaves a salt crust which is commercially extracted by the Cheetham Salt Works at the northern end of the lake. Over 100,000 tonnes of salt is extracted from the lake each year. The first recorded salt harvest from Lake Tyrrell was in 1896. We have planned a late pub lunch at Ouyen before heading back to the Riverland late afternoon.
