Our tour will take in some of the famous landmarks as we explore this colonial and charming town and region. Day 1 (LD): CANBERRA TO MUDGEE: Tuesday 13 August Be warmly greeted as we load our luggage onto the Potter Travel coach and settle into our seats. The Doctor Doctor series is now in its third season and has become popular with Australian, and overseas, audiences. Heading to Camden, we are in the vicinity of Denbigh House, the property used as the family home of the ‘Knight family’. Unfortunately, the homestead cannot be seen from the street but we will get a sense of where it was filmed and the cast often stayed in Camden. We have lunch at Camden Park House, the country mansion of John & Elizabeth Macarthur. The property possesses a grand colonnade verandah and is home to Australia's oldest oak tree grown from an acorn given to John Macarthur at Buckingham Palace! The surrounding 30 ha of garden represent a fine and rare surviving example of an early 19th century garden, albeit with later additions and alterations.

  • Kennedy Anderson
    Kennedy Anderson Eyes Blue/Grey Instagram Young entrepreneur Kennedy Anderson has a few tattoos - which isn’t unusual in itself - but one of the most significant is the tally symbol on the inside of his left arm – currently standing at six; the number of businesses he has founded since he was 15 years old. A creative by trade, conceptualising innovative new products and services has been at the heart of everything Kennedy has done since he was still in high school. His first business, as a family and wedding photographer, took off at an age when most teenagers are studying for their NCEA; it proved to be a solid launchpad for his entrepreneurial flight path. Now a creative director at one of Australasia's fastest-growing marketing agencies, Glass Elephant, Kennedy underpins everything he does with the principles of positive energy, accountability, and integrity - values he had instilled in him from childhood. It is these qualities that also helped him secure a spot on the 2021 TVNZ reboot of The Apprentice Aotearoa, where his leadership skills came into sharp focus in front of thousands of viewers. Kennedy credits his passion and willpower to his very driven parents, who raised him in Waiuku (South Auckland) while running their own businesses, so he was exposed to the enduring commitment it takes to ensure a company flourishes. Even as a young child, Kennedy would tell his parents he wanted to be a CEO! Armed with big dreams and goals, Kennedy moved to Auckland aged 18 to begin studying industrial design. He quickly found his tribe, surrounding himself with business mentors and partners who could guide him through the start-up process, and put his plans into action.
