I’m off to Oz………

This Saturday I set off for a flying visit to Australia……..and what a visit it promises to be.

I think i’ll need plenty of coffee to keep me going in the day and plenty of Fosters in the evening!

My adventure starts Saturday with a flight from Heathrow to Melbourne with Qantas. This is by far the longest flight i’ve done and to be honest i’m not looking forward to it.  The itinerary includes a 03 night stay in Melbourne and on day one I have a ‘Hidden Secret Lanes & Arcades Tour’ which is a small group walking tour and an ideal way to explore the city centre.  I’ve heard a lot of great feedback from my customers so am looking forward to see it for myself.  Day 2 is probably the highlight of our stay in Melbourne a full day tour ‘Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles’

The second part of our trip starts with a flight from Melbourne to Cairns where we head to the Thala Beach Nature Reserve for a one night stay. this is  an eco friendly resort located on a private headland between Cairns and Port Douglas.  This should be great as I’m interested in wildlife and there is plenty around this hotel as its in the middle of a rainforest.

Next its a full day ‘Quicksilver Outer Barrier Reef Cruise’………………….this the highlight of the trip for me, a catamaran takes us to a reef at the very edge of the continental shelf so I should see plenty of marine life.   I’ve been watching ‘Finding Nemo’ with my son this week so I know what to look out for!!

And finally I’ve got a full day tour to ‘Kuranda’ which includes the Skyrail Rainforest cableway which takes us above the rainforest canopy to Kuranda before returning a few hours later by scenic railway.

So all in all i’m away for 08 nights, 2 of which are flying.  It’ll be exhausting but i’m sure the adrenaline will keep me going!

When I’m back look out for my blog as i’ll tell you a little more about my experience and upload plenty of photos/videos.

You can still email me or call me when I’m away as my messages are being monitored by colleagues.
