Details

Cost $25pp includes a 3 hr cruise and sit down buffet lunch with tea and coffee.
Today we will embark on a scenic cruise along the Georges River and discover its unique history with Professor Heather Goodall.
While we take in the beautiful scenery along the route, we will learn more about the people and environment of the Georges River, as Professor Heather Goodall shares insights into the history of the river, from Aboriginal communities to environmental activism.
Sailing onboard the Bass and Flinders, we will enjoy a 3-hour cruise along the Georges River, from Sans Souci to Salt Pan Creek and back again.
The cruise follows the path of the original explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders as we pass by the modern day suburbs of Oatley, Como, Sans Souci, and see the million dollar homes in Sylvania waters.
