Day 2: Canberra - Floriade & National Arboretum

Today is free for you to enjoy Floriade at your leisure. There are more than a million glorious bulbs on display, an explosion of colour transforming the banks of Lake Burley Griffin as well as Canberra’s suburbs. Browse immaculate flower beds in various patterns and themes, then enjoy entertainment, market stalls and a lively spring vibe. After Floriade, another floral bounty awaits at the National Arboretum, where a local guide will share with you the amazing work being done by horticulturists when it comes to plant conservation and boosting botanical diversity. Spanning more than 250 hectares, the Arboretum is one of the world’s largest living collections of rare, endangered and significant trees. The site is also home to the iconic Margaret Whitlam Pavilion and the renowned National Bonsai and Penjing Collection. Stay: Crowne Plaza Canberra. Included Meals: breakfast.

Day 3: Canberra - Tulip Time Festival - Sydney

Yet more flowers await in the Southern Highlands, where Bowral's Corbett Gardens play host to 75,000 tulips. The aptly named Tulip Time Festival here will inspire you to buy some tulips to plant back home - it's that eye catching.
