PRE CONFERENCE - FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND & CENTRAL AUSTRALIA

Tuesday October 1st

Arrive Cairns Airport and transfer to accommodation at Paradise Village, Palm Cove. This beach side resort is set idyllically with a golden sand and palm-fringed beach at your doorstep.

Wednesday October 2nd

Tour of Great Barrier Reef. Meet in reception around 7.45am (time will be confirmed) for the coach connection to the jetty where you'll board the boat. Travel to the outer reef and snorkel and swim amongst the fish and coral. Late afternoon arrival at Paradise Village.

Thursday October 3rd

Take a morning flight to Alice Springs in Central Australia and check in to The Diplomat Hotel. Enjoy an afternoon tour of Standley Chasm and Simpsons Gap, clefts in the imposing MacDonnell Ranges to the west. The tour concludes at Anzac Hill where panoramic views of Alice Springs are afforded.

Friday October 4th

An early rise for the transfer by road to Uluru (Ayers Rock). Located some 450 kilometres from Alice Springs, the world's greatest monolith rises 348 metres above the desert floor. Arrive early afternoon at campsite and after lunch visit The Olgas, a cluster of massive rounded rocks. Take a walk through the 'Valley of the Winds' before the spectacular sunset viewing of Uluru. Dinner around the campfire and camping accommodation under the stars conclude the day's program.

Saturday October 5th

Another early rise for sunrise climb of Ayers Rock followed by tour of the base caves. The 1.6 kilometre climb is not for the unfit and is quite strenuous. As it follows an important religious track, the traditional owners prefer that visitors take other discovery walks. Late morning transfer to airport for flight to Melbourne where you'll arrive early evening. Transfer to your accommodation.

Cost: $ 957.00 pp (twin or double share).
$1155.00 pp (single supplement).

Includes: Tour of Great Barrier Reef.
Four nights accommodation (motel and camping).
Tour of Ayers Rock, The Olgas and Stanley Chasm.
All breakfasts, lunches (not day 4) and dinner (day 3).
Transfers.
GST (10%).

The above package assumes delegates would fly into Cairns before the first day. We would arrange accommodation at Palm Cove, on the northern beaches 20 minutes from Cairns. The cost does not include air-fares from Cairns to Alice Springs or Ayers Rock to Melbourne.
