Saying 'G’Day' to some fine Australian wines

Some weeks ago, our Southern California Wine Council greeted 2022 with a tasting of five wines from the Land Down Under which are exported to the United States. Four of these wines are produced by Eight at the Gate in the Wrattonbully wine country located along the country's southeastern coast, about 280 miles from Melbourne and stretching throughout the hill country of the Stewarts and Naracoorte mountain ranges. This area has a temperate climate, long growing season, and…

10 Australia road-trip tips

In terms of epic journeys, you’re not going to get much bigger than road tripping around the land Down Under. This huge landmass has more differing landscapes and areas of natural beauty than perhaps anywhere else in the world, from stunning beaches, lush rainforests, the red centre, Uluru, and massive cosmopolitan cities, all with a laid-back vibe and rich culture to explore. Of course, with any journey of this size, you need to know a little about what you’re getting yourself into before…

In the Tour Operator group Chef LeeZ asked for some clarification of our TOPs program re pricing.

We allow travel products and services to be added to our program at the same price that they are sold TO wholesalers or retailers....ie... the 'outlet' or ' source' price....they DO NOT have to be further discounted....hope this helps...this allows the smallest of quality travel businesses to promote their services at no cost to our members....full info onsite.

MAKE HOUSE-SITTING WORK FOR YOU

I'd like to alert you all to you to a recent newcomer to the web HouseSitMatch which provides an online environment for house-sitters and homeowners to meet and exchange information. House-sitters can find free accommodation for their travels and homeowners can leave their home, pets and garden in capable hands while they travel. You can even organise reciprocal house-sits which is effectively house-swapping.

The site currently specialises in the UK and Australia and is brand new so we are in the throes of building sitter and property databases. In view of that Value Match is currently FREE so we encourage people to get in on the ground level of this new house-sitting social network!

Reading the site's blog is a great way to be introduced to the concept.

Dear Australia PR executive and/or luxury hotelier,

My wife and I are travelling around the world on a 500-day honeymoon. In each region we pick one luxury boutique hotel to partner with exclusively for said region. We post two articles per resort on Honeymoons.com as well as numerous social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, YouTube, etc..and most importantly each partner becomes the exclusive resort in their respective region on Honeymoons.com - If anyone in this group represents a luxury hotelier/resort in Australia, we would love to talk more. Please drop us a line (MikeAnne@HoneyTrek.com) and we can answer any questions and forward over our formal proposal for your review.

Sincerely,
Mike & Anne

THEN sort by name: Sydney's Living History - AND click the price in the upper right corner and watch it download.
