Dear Cathy,
I’m back to work and back to reality already…
I’d like to thank you kindly for the vacation arrangement, I’ve had a wonderful time in the Sunshine state with everything provided for mostly with nice accommodations and cool tour activities. Shame that the weather at the start of my journey, especially in Fraser island it was literally raining all day long… But the rest of the journey it was amazing fine, really enjoyed it.
Then again, thank you very much and wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Best,
Jorge

Dear Cathy,
Scott and I would like to thank you for the organising of our guests and ourselves for our travel and accommodation to the beautiful Hayman Island where we celebrated our Wedding 11.11.11. The excitement from us all meeting at Hamilton Island on the launch to Hayman set the celebrations and we had the most memorable stay, perfect weather and a more than perfect wedding!
We plan to go back for future anniversaries, and any QLD holidays we will plan thru you. You will hear from us in the future.
Thankyou for your services.
Alison & Scott Russell(Plumb)

Hi Cathy,
You know I can’t thank you enough for the major miracle you pulled off yesterday afternoon with booking the accommodation at The Point, Queenstown.
You made my whole WEEK after being so bitterly disappointed by another travel agent’s error.
Thank you once again; I must have been fated to see your Company on the web at www.aunztravel.com.au and 1800 815 378, and get you.
Kindest regards,
Donna

Whenever you are traveling, you want everything to go as perfectly as possible. You want it to be a relaxing and fun experience. This is why you plan your trip thoroughly, making sure that you cover all areas to avoid major glitches. However, no matter how hard you have plan a trip, unfortunate events are still bound to happen. You might lose your luggage or be involved in an accident.
Travel insurance can be the perfect solution in times like this. It serves as a safety net of protection to individuals while they are away for a vacation or on a business trip. It is a vital part of every booking too, which is why you should not get overwhelmed with excitement and forget to get yourself covered.
For instance, when your flight gets canceled, some insurance providers give reimbursement of your fees. When you get sick, they cover medical assistance or even medical evacuation if needed. This is very convenient since when you are a sick tourist in a foreign country, it is not easy to even think about these things especially when you are already in a distraught stage. Your luggage and important belongings can also be insured. It will make you feel at ease when traveling.
In Australia, there are many travel insurance providers that offer various policies and covers for travelers. One of them is NIB Travel Insurance, a company that has been providing health insurance to Australians for over 50 years. With over 800,000 customers around the country, they have a wide range of health insurance plans for everyone.
Depending on the plan you get, nib offers comprehensive travel insurance for single, duo or family. It covers cancellation fees, overseas medical emergencies, hospital assistance, lost of luggage and travel documents. You can definitely find a plan at affordable rate that will be suitable for you and your family.
So before you finalize your travel plans, make sure that you get yourself covered with travel insurance. It will certainly safeguard you on your journey.

We take pictures to be able to relive that single moment of utmost beauty, to remember the vows made on our wedding day, or maybe just on a whim to press the shutter button. For whatever reason, photographs will always be synonymous with memories. Be it Professional photography, or a mere hobby, you have to learn the basics.
You have to take careful consideration of the lighting, the kind of camera used, and of course the subject you intend to shoot. Photography is not as simple as it looks. You do not just take the shot, you think and plan on what you want your picture to show. Photography enthusiasts know there is such a thing as good composition.
Photography composition is the design and the message you want to convey when someone takes a look at your photo. It is the yin and yang of photography. When you take a trip to “down under”, you will be amazed at the endless subjects you will see in the great outback, the scenic beaches, and even in the midst of their central business district located in downtown Sydney.
The beauty of nature may be artistically shown through landscape photography. The sandy strands at Settlers Beach in Western Australia can go from looking like a ripple of water to an abstract painting, with the proper techniques.
You may opt to take pictures of Australia’s floral emblem, the Golden Wattle. It is such a beautiful tree to look at, yet to capture what you want from it, you have to learn that flowers easily move in different directions because of the wind.
Panning is a technique photographers use when they blur the edges or the background and make their subject stand-out. There is this majestic view in Uluru called Ayers Rock. It has slopes, which are uneven and steep, making it a postcard-perfect subject for photographers.
Deer and kangaroos are often the wildlife models thought to represent Australia. You should not pass the chance of taking their picture when you seem them. However, you need an excellent camera, one with high tech specifications. Your equipment should include a long lens of about 300mm, or the more expensive and extra long lenses of up to 600mm. These are essential for you to take photos of wildlife from afar. Animals in their natural habitat provide unexpected shots of great value, if you are well-equipped with the right gadget.
Bondi Beach and Surfer’s Paradise are also breathtaking views you may want to visit, while you are in the country. More than 3 million tourists flock to Surfer’s Paradise on this part of the Gold Coast of Queensland. Entertainment and great night life presents the opportunity to offer a series of continuous shots, and you will also meet a few budding Gold Coast and Brisbane Photographers.
The Eyre Peninsula in South Australia also offers dramatic, picturesque shots of the ocean and cliffs. You can spend time at the Whyalla Conservation Park, taking pictures of birds, kangaroos and other wildlife. It boasts of abundant variety of wildlife, in fact you can see Grey and Red Kangaroos in this part of Australia. There are a lot more places to visit, so do not forget your camera!
Whitsundays Wedding and Family Photo’s
Posted by geoff on February 8, 2011
Queensland tourism has certainly had some setbacks over the past month. Firstly the Brisbane flood situation has now been resolved and everything is back to normal as far as travel is concerned. The Gold Coast had little affect from this and it is business as usual right along the coast. All the Gold Coast accommodation is experiencing strong demand. Similarly, on the Sunshine Coast, some flooding in early January has now completely subsided and all the main resort areas like Noosa and Mooloolaba are operating at full capacity. The Fraser Coast has been virtually unaffected. Fraser island 
is full of holiday campers. In the Whitsundays, some effect was felt from cyclone Yasi. Damage here was generally cosmetic and the clean up was finished the next day. Hamilton Island and Hayman Island are now running business as usual. It should be noted that Peppers Palm Bay resort has been closed until further notice and Long Island resort is closed for refurbishment. North Queensland has had a pounding in certain parts. Townsville copped plenty of wind from Cyclone Yasi but bothTownsville and Magnetic Island got away with minimal damage. Dunk Island resort and Bedarra Island resort both received considerable 
damage and will be closed for some time pending massive rebuilding. Mission beach also had severe damage and some resorts there have plenty of repairs to do, while others have reopened. Cairns got off comparatively lightly with the cyclone making landfall to the south. All Cairns accommodation and the northern beaches region, together with Port Douglas are now all back to normal trading conditions. As the popular winter months in Queensland approach, there will only be a few places where the La Nina weather conditions that have been so so severe this year, will continue to have an effect on the tourism trade.
