This brings the Australia Virtual Tour full circle to Day 1 / March 10 of the tour when I first greeted you from deep “Down Under” in one of those lava tubes. In future tours, we will visit other territories within this vast continent.
“Walkabout” is the aussie aboriginal term for ‘”travel”. Join me on a walkabout through parts of this fascinating country. My Aussie Adventure Getaway to Sydney and Cairns scheduled for August incorporates city, reef and rainforest activities and experiences discussed throughout the month. Individual extensions are available to other regions such as the Outback, Melbourne or Adelaide.
I will also be offering an Australia & New Zealand Cruisetour in December that begins in Sydney and ends in Auckland. This itinerary visits the Australian island of Tasmania plus the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Pre-cruise land extensions are available for Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef and Kuranda Rainforest areas or to Ayers Rock and Alice Springs in the heart of the Outback’s Red Center.

Monthly Raffle Drawing
Each month when virtual tour participants phone, e-mail, comment or refer others to my travel blog, I write their names on small blue index cards, fold them and place them in the raffle bag that sits on the bookshelf next to my desk.
I will roll over all entries from February and March through the next raffle on April 30.
Aussie Gift Pack
Those of you who know me can attest to my love of practical travel gifts. This month’s raffle prize includes a Hunter Valley Wine Country black and tan messenger bag with a lovely claret red lining (wine reference, get it?). It comes with a cap from the Cypress Lakes Golf Resort and a t-shirt with aboriginal dot design in fiery earth tones of yellow, orange and red. And I added a decorated boomerang and koala sporting a bush hat just for fun!
This month’s lucky winner of the Aussie Gift Pack is Shelly Gallegos of Aurora, Colorado.
Tune in tomorrow to see where we travel to next!
