Day 1. Wed 30 Dec:

Home – Katoomba – Bathurst – Young                            Lunch & Dinner
This morning we pick you up from home and begin our drive along the Great Western Highway to Katoomba and enjoy a cuppa from the coach at the Echo Point & Three Sisters Lookout. We continue into Bathurst, stopping
at Miss Traill’s House & Garden, a colonial Georgian home which contains the collection of the Lee family. The Lee family were amongst the very first European settlers to the west and pioneering settlers in the Bathurst
District. The house, horse paddock, 19th century cottage gardens and the memorabilia collection by Miss Traill and her family, provide an accurate window into the past. After our tour and lunch we make our way into Young
for check-in and a rest before dinner.
