Leicester Grammar School Rugby Team enjoyed a three-centre rugby tour to Australia using Perth, Sydney and Cairns as their bases.
The rugby tour began in Perth which is blessed with sparkling beaches and a sunny climate and has a relaxed, easygoing lifestyle that makes it a superb city for the visitor. Here, Leicester Grammar School spent seven nights and were able to renew some old acquaintances from their two previous rugby tours to Australia with Burleigh Travel; their first rugby tour to Australia in 2002 and a return visit in 2005, whilst making new friends and playing four rugby matches to kick start their 2008 rugby tour to Australia.

Burleigh Travel Employee Zoe Derham has qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympics following her astonishing 68.63 meter throw at the Loughborough European Athletics Permit Meeting just days before the final selection of Team GB was made.
Winning her place in the Olympics this year certainly caps a illustrious career for Zoe which is hopefully far from being over and her distance which took her to the games is the second furthest distance to be thrown by a British Woman. Zoe’s achievements also include coming 5th in the Melbourne Commonwealth Games with a throw of 61.92 and also throwing within 30cm of the British record held by her coach Lorraine Shaw.
