Grab Your Hat and Sense of Adventure!

Villa Carlotta Travel invites you to join an unforgettable escorted journey to one of Australia’s most iconic cultural celebrations: The Man From Snowy River Bush Festival, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.

From 13–19 April 2026, our seven-day tour combines scenic rail travel, rich heritage experiences and two immersive festival days in the charming rural town of Corryong, Victoria.

Your adventure begins with an XPT (express passenger train) rail journey from Melbourne through classic Victorian countryside to Albury, followed by guided visits to highlights like the historic Bonegilla Migrant Experience, Holbrook Submarine Museum and the tranquil Lake Hume Dam wall — showcasing both Australia’s natural beauty and compelling local stories.
