MUNDARING/KALAMUNDA - the Hills are alive
9.00am - 3.30pm (included for registered partners)
This is the day to sit back, relax in the comfort of your five star coach and enjoy the passing scenery. We will explore the Mundaring region, enjoy a picnic morning tea before marveling at the engineering feat of the Golden Pipeline. Walk across the dam wall [weather permitting] and see the beginning of this pipeline which was the lifeblood of the goldfields, providing water to the many people flocking to the goldfields in search of this precious mineral. On our drive through the hills we will see the bush ablaze with colour from the profusion of the many wildflowers at this time of the year. The fruit trees in the orchards not to be outdone are dressed in their spring finery. This is the best time of the year to visit this region. Enjoy a lazy lunch at a popular Hills eatery and then on to explore more of this region. All too soon it is time to wind our way back down the hill to your hotel.
Cost: A$132 inc GST (minimum: 12) Includes: Transport, guide, morning tea, lunch, admission to garden.

EXPERIENCE FREMANTLE
9.30am - 4.45pm (optional)
Diamonds are a girls best friend, but Gold and Pearls are pretty close. First stop on today’s agenda is The Perth Mint. The Mint is the oldest continuously operating Mint in Australia and transforms this precious metal (gold) into commemorative coins for the international market. Its great fun to be there and you can even measure what you are worth in gold - the more you weigh the more you are worth. After a tour of the Mint, watching the gold pour and enjoying morning tea it is all aboard our now familiar coach to travel to the Port City of Fremantle. The route wanders through the riverside suburbs before we stop at our next destination which is Kailis Australian Pearls, the Fremantle headquarters of the famous Broome pearls. Learn about the life of a pearl and sip on champagne whilst trying on the gorgeous hand crafted jewellery. Dare to dream. Lunch is at a buzzy riverside cafe. This is followed by a short walk along the river bank to where we will step aboard a river ferry for the cruise back to Perth. Upon arrival at the Old Perth Port our coach awaits for the short trip back to the Burswood.
Cost: A$150 inc GST (minimum: 12) Includes: Transport, guide, admissions, morning tea, lunch, ferry ride.

A TASTE OF THE VALLEY
9.00am - 4.30pm (optional)
The valley is a special place to visit and this is what today is all about - grazing, tasting and exploring. Caversham Wildlife Park features over 2000 animals. You can feed a kangaroo, cuddle a wombat or have fun finding your way out of the koala maze. We’ll take you to an olive growing Estate right in the heart of the Swan Valley to learn about the advantages of using Olive Oil and to taste their delicious samples. Now you can ask all those questions that you never dared ask. Still on the topic of food lunch is next, but not too far to travel this time, just up the staircase to a very attractive restaurant for a platter lunch. Time to check out a stunning gallery featuring furniture made from local timbers including the popular Jarrah as well as other beautiful works of art by well known local artists. The final stop is at one of our oldest and best known vineyards for coffee, port from the barrel and delicious chocolates before the return trip. Who cares about calories anyway!!
