Tour description
Celebrate the charm, colour and Celtic spirit of autumn on this delightful escape to Berry for its annual Celtic Festival. Nestled between rolling green hills and the sparkling South Coast, the village provides the perfect backdrop for a day filled with music, heritage and lively entertainment. The Grand Street Parade sets the tone as pipe bands in full tartan, clan representatives, vintage cars, motorcycles and even Scottish Terriers make their way through the streets toward the showground. Once there, the festivities continue with Celtic fiddlers, Highland dancers, enchanting singers, medieval knights in mock battle and a bustling array of stalls offering crafts, local produce and all things Scottish. It’s a vibrant and joyful celebration that draws visitors back year after year.
Your stay at The Sebel Harbourside Kiama offers comfort and stunning coastal views, making it an ideal base for exploring the region. Travelling down the coast, you’ll enjoy highlights including Wollongong’s dramatic coastline, the seaside towns of Kiama, Gerringong and Gerroa, and the scenic beauty of Kangaroo Valley. A peaceful picnic at Fitzroy Falls and visits to Mittagong, Berrima and Bowral round out a relaxing journey through the Southern Highlands. With thoughtful inclusions, comfortable accommodation and the welcoming atmosphere of an OCT tour, this autumn adventure captures the very best of culture, countryside and coastal touring.

Testimonials
I have had many trips with you and have enjoyed them very much.
Sincerely, Janet.
Re: Batemans Bay Hi Debbie, We have just returned from a 4-day trip to Bateman’s Bay with with Jimmy as our driver. I wanted to email to tell you how good he was. He was so friendly and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble, and his help / support of our older Ex-Servicemen and their wives was outstanding. He was also very interested in out stories which was lovely. I know we always get that level of service from OnCourse, and wanted you to know that it continued with Jimmy. He was so articulate on the microphone and always had some interesting bits of information about where we were or where we were near. The weather on our trip could have been better, but he did his best, moved things around, found places for us to stop in the rain, and always with a smile on his face and made the trip so enjoyable. His handling of the coach was also something we all commented on. Once again, another lovely trip away, and I wouldn’t hesitate to go on any trip Jimmy was involved in.
