Depart your pick-up point and travel to Mittagong, where you’ll enjoy morning tea and your first splash of spring colour before continuing to Canberra for one of the highlights of the floral calendar—Floriade.

Held in Commonwealth Park, Floriade is Australia’s largest celebration of spring, returning for its 39th year with the inspiring theme Science and Nature. Be dazzled by more than one million blooms, creatively planted in vibrant garden beds that showcase spectacular colour, texture, and design.

This year’s festival blends botanical beauty with scientific curiosity, featuring hands-on workshops, talks, live entertainment, and interactive displays. You’ll have ample free time to wander through the gardens, take photos, browse market stalls, relax by the lake, or simply soak up the festive spring atmosphere.

Lunch Flexibility at Floriade – Please Note

Unlike most of our all-inclusive day tours, lunch on this tour is intentionally left open to allow you the freedom to enjoy Floriade at your own pace.

Lunch is at your leisure—you may bring your own picnic or choose from the many food vendors located throughout Commonwealth Park, offering a wide variety of options to suit different tastes and budgets.

Soak up the sights, scents, and sounds of spring before rejoining the coach for a relaxed journey home, filled with colour, creativity, and seasonal charm.
