We have the below tours that meet the requirements: The East Coast Islands and Rainforests. The Tastes of Southern Australia.

what address does the bus pick up and drop off & what time

We are unable to pick you up from the Darling Harbour Hotel. This is a 3-day trip with departure on the 18 of September on request basis only. Trip starts at 7.30am in Sydney at the Rydges Sydney Central.
