TRAVEL BRIEFS

John Crook 

Bed and Breakfast at Jasper

This package is for the Jasper Hotel located at 489 Elizabeth Street in Melbourne.  Not your usual inner-city hotel, but rather a full boutique hotel with its very own Jasper Art Gallery.  Exhibitions rotate each three months, so every visit should be a new experience.  The hotel is currently offering a package, at $169,  featuring accommodation, with breakfast for two in the Jasper Kitchen.  For bookings telephone 1800 468 359, subject to availability. The Jasper Hotel is close handy to the colourful Queen Victoria Market and that’s an experience in itself. Go visit www.jasperhotel.com.au

It’s that time again

Wild nights return with a vengeance at Werribee Open Range Zoo during the winter school holidays.    It  was a big event last year, so much so, that the powers that be are right behind a return for this year.  The zoo comes alive with fire dancing, African drumming and so much more.  The winter series is scheduled July 2 to 16 July. 

General admission prices apply.  A hint, – bring your own torch.   For more information go visit www.zoo.org.au/WerribeeOpenRangeZoo
