Why not visit Ayers Rock for a 2 day tour in the Outback, Tasmania for a long weekend of scenery, fun and wildlife, Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef and the rain forest, Sydney for a big city adventure and a little culture.  Mary says don't forget to mix and meet with the locals too!  Australia and Tasmania have the most down to earth friendly people there, enjoy!

Your journey to the Outback could have you dining out under a canopy of a million stars in an unencumbered sky or waking to the sounds of hundreds of hooves being moved to more fertile ground. It will have you meet some incredible people and see some equally incredible sights. It will take you on an adventure that will leave you inspired and enthralled for a lifetime.

As the Operations Manager of First Choice Travel and Cruise I have had to focus my travel bookings to only those destinations I love to sell!  Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Fiji are the destinations I chose because I like a good challenge. 

For almost 30 years I have been an Australia Specialist and have been spreading my expertise to more and more of the South Pacific ever since.  My clients tell me what they want, and once I get a good feel for their plans I make the suggestions that set this trip apart from anything they have done in the past.  I like to make special memories for my clients, not just book them a trip.  I keep current with prices and all the new itineraries on a daily basis so my clients get the service they deserve. 

Call me today to plan your South Pacific memories!
