Golden centre<\/p>\n

Hit the road or do it by rail aboard the Victorian Goldfields railway and explore the magic of central Victoria. The rail service which operates between Castlemaine and Maldon varies, so needs to be checked out, however, if doing the trip by motor vehicle consider a couple of nights staying at Maldon’s Palm House B&B.\u00a0 Two nights accommodation from $300. Very comfy and just a few steps from the town’s heritage streets.\u00a0 The tariff includes chocolates and a bottle of\u00a0 local wine, with tasty breakfasts also part of the deal.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Call Wendy Elsy on (03) 5475 2532 or email\u00a0 palmhouse@bigpond.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Kong Hei Fat Choy<\/p>\n

Good fortune for all is the greeting from Singapore. Prepare for the New Year light-up between January 3 \u2013 February 15.\u00a0 As part of the celebration Singapore is home to parades and festivals. Plan to be there in January, for that’s when the celebration is in full swing. Be well prepared and before you head off check the activities on www.visitsingapore.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Take 18 days to get to Honolulu<\/p>\n

Sailing aboard Dawn Princess is one heck of a way to relax and to explore, as the 77,500 tonne vessel commands the Pacific and its exciting island nations between Sydney and Hawaii.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I love the Princess Cruises’ anytime dining policy and a choice of traditional dining, a speciality steakhouse, 24-hour bistro and even a poolside hamburger and hot dog grill. There’s a saving to be made too if you book through ecruising.travel\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get the full details by calling 1300 369 848 or visit www.ecruising.travel<\/a> \u00a0
