Lunch is at French café L’Anse. Named for the French word ‘cove’ or ‘bay’, it was established through a vision from Marvin & Grace wanting to bring accessible fine dining, delicious coffee and French style pastries to the Eyre Peninsula.

After lunch, we take you out to beautiful Mikkira Station, arguably one of Australia’s very best habitats where Koalas can be found in the wild. Visit the restored original homestead and go for a stroll under the beautiful old Eucalypt trees and come face to face with the cuddly icon of Australia as they laze in the Manna gums.

Journey on to iconic Bondi Beach where lunch is included at the iconic Icebergs Dining Room.

Drive back to the city through the leafy suburb of Woollahra and trendy Darlinghurst with its stylish bars and eateries, before returning to your hotel.
