Get Away With One Of Our “Weekenders”

One of the other little services we have been planning to offer – and which will start appearing here very soon, is a range of short duration trips, or Weekenders, as we like to call them

To start with we will have a Melbourne Getaway this October, with shopping and sightseeing during the day and the theatre in the evening. To follow this up is a Gourmet Weekend away in the Hunter Valley in November tasting wines, beers and other local produce. In January (2015) we have space on a cruise heading down to Melbourne to take in the Australian Open and in March (2015) we have a limited space departure for a mini Murray Cruise ex-Echuca on one of Australias most iconic Paddlesteamers.

Prices and dates will be available soon – but if you are already interested please feel free to let us know so that we can ensure you are amongst the first to receive the full details when they become available.

Discovering Norfolk Island

When people think of the pacific islands they can visit most have thoughts that run to Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, or further afield at the Cook Islands, Samoa or Tahiti. Few tend to think of our more temperate options – Lord Howe Island, or in this case Norfolk Island.

With year round temperate climate, Norfolk has a vast array of things to offer all kinds of travellers. Its natural beauty and wonders allow one to experience anything from walks along the Bushland trails to Glass Bottom Boat trips over their reefs. The early and fairly dark convict heritage is still evident and a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Island. For art lovers there are galleries, museums and more to explore. For those looking for pampering there are spas and wellness centres to experience. For the sportsman there is fishing, horse riding, golf and more. Then there are also the beaches and the water activities. More than enough to see, admire and enjoy.

This fantastic destination is where we are headed for our first group departure with the Shoalhaven Solo Sisters. This March we depart on a seven-day journey to explore Norfolk Island, while we have included some true highlights in our package – we have also left plenty of free time for those that may want to pursue their own desires, be it an art class, a round of golf, or a stroll along one of the Hiking Trails.

You can find full details of our tour here, and should you want to enquire or find out more details just fill in the form at the bottom of that page. We will be restricting the amount of travellers we take, so it will be on a first in best dressed basis. We will also try to match everyone up with an appropriate partner, or if desired we can offer single supplements.

So if my expounding on the wonders of Norfolk hasn’t whetted your appetite, or the images we have shown .. take a look at the below clip produced by the Norfolk Island Tourist Board, and you will see, we are sure, that Norfolk has something for everyone.
