TRAVEL BRIEFS<\/p>\n

By John Crook\u00a0<\/p>\n

Judging Daydream<\/p>\n

Several years ago I visited Daydream Island as a member of the Tourism Awards judging panel.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a relatively small island but cram packed with so many activities and I was impressed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a magical place to visit, one which has a rather competitive price tag from now until March 31, but with travel through to June 30.\u00a0 A four-night ‘dream’ offer is on sale for only $110 per person per night.\u00a0 Note a rate change on April 1 and a block out period applies between April 9 \u2013 14.\u00a0 All dates listed apply to 2009.\u00a0 Heaps to do but a highlight is the open-air picture theatre, sipping a cool drink, under the stars.\u00a0 Check it out by calling 1800 075 040 or visit www.daydreamisland.com<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n
