the amazing colours and fragrances unique to this time of the year.

Making the most of our return journey we head to Yass and explore the home of the first Australian-born explorer,

Hamilton Hume at Cooma Cottage. As our guide leads us through this fine example of a pioneer dwelling, we truly

capture the lives they must have led. Enjoying morning tea here, we continue on to Holbrook. After lunch, visit the

National Museum of Australian Pottery, the only Museum dedicated to 19th and early 20th century Australian

pottery. Spend time here wandering around the extensive range of pottery, such as colourful cheese covers,

beautiful bread plates and decorated water filters. Keep your eyes peeled as there are also few rare examples of

pottery made by the convict potter Jonathan Leak, who’s few surviving pieces are the earliest marked pottery

TESTIMONY | To BusBiz,

Thankyou for another fabulous holiday jam packed with sights to see, places to visit, good food & accommodation.

Chris & I both enjoyed every bit of the tour and everything we did. We both think the idea of local guides getting on the coach &

showing us around, and all the information they shared, was an added bonus. Keep up the good work.— Bette & Chris Langham
