The itinerary

Fly to Canberra and rent a car

See a little bit of the Nation’s Capital; Parliament House, The National Gallery (one of my absolute faves), the National Portrait Gallery, drink coffee at The Cupping Room on University Ave.

Drive to Bateman’s Bay.

Days 2-3

Go to the beach as much as you can at Bateman’s Bay.

Or do some of these other things.

Days 4-5

Drive to Merimbula and go to the beach as. much. as. you. can.

Or do some of these other things.

Drive to Jindabyne.

Get up early and hike!

Drive to Charlotte Pass in Kosciuszko National Park, from there you can do a number of day hikes.

Drive back to Jindabyne for a well earned snooze.

Day 7

Drive back to Canberra and fly home. See how many random country towns you can stop in on the drive, see how many award winning Vanilla Slices you can find.
