We have a little pre Christmas Getaway planned in late November with a visit to The Australia Zoo, the Pomona Silent Movie, The Ginger Factory and 2 lovely nights at the newly refurbished Oaks Caloundra. Our Christmas Tours are already heavily booked with only a couple of seats available! Sorry at this stage there are no Sole Use Rooms available, we do apologize. Once again we cruise into the New Year with an overnight escape to ’Brizzie’ including a Dinner Cruise and Fireworks, this tour booked out last year so call now! We have two great Show Packages in January with the hilarious ’Fawlty Towers' and ’Matilda the Musical’, but both have limited seats. These are followed by our popular Sydney Harbour Australia Day. What a start to the year! We have a very special Birthday Bash planned for Terry in February. Travelling to Bowral and the stunning Southern Highlands. In March we have a little ’summer holiday’ as we return to lovely Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort with a chance to feed the Dolphins that visit the resort every night. Our highlight for the year will be our return to the Great Ocean Road with loads of new things to do along the way and includes the fabulous Melbourne International Flower Show. This tour will book very quickly so don’t delay. Of course, Easter just wouldn't be Easter without the wonderful outback adventure to Lightning Ridge. There is a reason why this tour books out year after year and it has to be the great Aussie experience to be had by all.

Darwin was at its splendid best and the magnificent Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge) never failed to amaze us. I can’t wait to return next year so watch out for the tour dates and itinerary.

Fawlty Towers Live is be based on the BBC TV series and stars an all Australian Cast. It is adapted for the stage by John Cleese, with direction by Caroline J. Ranger and set design by Liz Ascroft. Big shoes to fill! John Cleese has announced that actor Stephen Hall will star as Basil in upcoming Australian Fawlty Towers - Live on Stage tour. It is surely no easy feat to walk in the footsteps of British comedy legend John Cleese. But the 76-year-old actor has given his nod of approval for Australian actor Stephen Hall, 46, to play Basil, the role John made famous in the 1970s. Manic, snobbish, condescending, sycophantic and rude, Basil Fawlty is without doubt one of the funniest, most iconic and most memorable British comedy characters ever written. This original adaptation and all-new Australian cast, will bring all your beloved characters to life onstage.
