TRAVEL BRIEFS

John Crook

It’s always good knowing that there is backup support in times of crisis.   My son Wes held the fort for Travel Briefs following my open-heart  surgery. What a way to spend Christmas and New Year !  That’s all behind me and it’s back to work.

Spicers is in

Here’s a chance to really escape.  One of the fabulous holiday destinations from the Spicers Retreats, Hotels and Lodges just waiting for you. For instance the troops will certainly be fascinated on a five-star ‘glamping’ (glam camping) experience at Spicers Canopy. Stay overnight in a luxury safari style tent, go bush-walking, with a guide)   To get the low down on this property and its offerings, telephone 1300 286 295. For a family of two adults and two children,, staying in two tents, cooking classes, all meals ad drinks, the price is from $650.

Vienna State Opera

In the months of May, June and September, the charming Vienna State Opera will broadcast selected opera and ballet performances live on a 50 sq m screen outside the opera house.  Wow ! Some live show, eh?
