GENERAL INFORMATION
The group enjoyed a three-centre Rugby
& Hockey tour to Australia using Sydney, Melbourne
and Cairns as their bases. They also had the unique
opportunity to visit Singapore during their return journey to experience
a hugely different culture to that experienced in Australia.

Vibrant and cosmopolitan,
Sydney combines glamorous shopping and alfresco dining
with historic sights and golden beaches. Its relaxed, outdoor lifestyle

Melbourne
is one of the world's most popular cities and has something to offer
for everybody. You can dine at 1st class restaurants, shop in luxurious
department stores or take a tour along scenic coast or green countryside.
Melbourne prides itself as being Australia's sporting capital,
hosting annual events such as the Australian Open, The Australian
Formula One Grand Prix, the southern hemisphere's premier horse
race - the Melbourne Cup, and not forgetting Aussie Rules Football.

Cairns enjoys
a year round Mediterranean style climate and is set against a magnificent
backdrop of high mountain ranges covered with lush, tropical rainforest
whose slopes reach almost to the sea. This palm-fringed city is intimate,
yet sophisticated with designer shops and gourmet restaurants; a perfect
contrast to the natural paradise of the Great Barrier Reef.

Upon arrival in Sydney, the
group enjoyed breakfast along with an opportunity to stretch their
legs after their flight in the spectacular Darling Harbour before
embarking on a City orientation tour.

Their tour took in Sydney's
major attractions such as The Gap, from where you can see the entrance
to Sydney Harbour and spectacular views of the Pacific coastline,
the famous Bondi Beach, Rushcutters Bay Boating Marina, Double Bay
and the stately Vaucluse House. |

The group also
visited the Rocks - Sydney's birthplace, and also had a photo stop
of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Once the tour was complete, the group were transferred to meet
their billets, with whom they would stay for the following three
nights. The Rugby team were hosted at Moriah College, Bondi Junction
and the Hockey team was hosted at Tara Anglican Girls School, North
Parramatta.
I am sure all of the group would agree that the time spent with
the host schools was extremely enjoyable and they would like to
pass on their thanks to all host families once again for their outstanding
hospitality.
