TRAVEL " Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference !" Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) We frequently hear people talk about their holidays, watch hundreds of trave logs
on TV and we often wonder whether we should go on holidays ourselves. True or false? Usually it is either lack of finances or lack of time (?) which prevent us from taking that deserved break and get away from it all. Well, that is our excuse and we'll stick to it. Don't be silly! Make an effort, plan a break and best of all……………just do it! (You have seen that 'Nike' advertisement, haven't you) No one is suggesting that you have to spent a fortune or stay away for months on end. A short trip into the nearest mountain ranges, to the beach a few hours away, to that waterfall just one hours drive down the road, to that quaint little town where the barber and the butcher share a shopfront. You will be releasing stress and recharging the batteries, and probably spend some precious quality time with your partner or your inner-self. These pages are a motivator for you to take a break, and as such it is hoped that
some of our suggestions, destinations and helpful hints will encourage you to
get out and enjoy our beautiful Australia and the World whilst we still can. For those who are a bit more adventurous and can afford an overseas trip, we have collated some ideas for you to visit places from around many parts of the world. Some one from our staff was fortunate enough to have travelled to some exotic locations for business and pleasure, and we are pleased to present some 'favourites' right here on this website, just for you! Obviously there are so many beautiful places in Australia and elsewhere on this globe that none of us will ever be able to claim - I've seen it all! We really like to hear from visitors who have been on cruises, travelled through Russia, visited Antartica or Greenland, the Sahara, the Amazon or the jungles of South America. Travellers are usually quite willing to share their experiences. Do not let us down, we are relying on your contributions. Any submissions, questions or related material whether good or bad can be emailed directly to us. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ TRAVEL WARNINGS ISSUED BY THE DEPT.
