If you bring in or take out of Australia more than $A10,000 cash or the equivalent in foreign currency (travellers cheques excluded), you must declare it to Customs. Failure to do is an offence.

Climate Australia experiences a variety of climates due to its size.

The temperatures vary from an average 30oC (85oF) in mid-summer in the Red Centre, to an average of 6oC (42oF) in the Alpine areas in winter. The ideal time to visit the north, particularly the Northern Territory’s Kakadu National Park is early in the dry season (around May) The Dry Season, April - October, is also a good time to visit northern Queensland’s beaches and rainforests.

If you were to take all that is Australian – diverse wildlife, the wide open spaces & red earth of the Outback, fascinating Aboriginal culture & history, uncrowded sandy beaches, friendly locals, exceptional food & wine & rolled it all into one destination – you would have South Australia.

Home to Australia’s premier wine producing region – the Barossa Valley, the best place in Australia to see native wildlife in their natural habitat on Kangaroo Island and the historic Murray River - South Australia is rich in heritage offering something for everyone, no matter the time of the year.

TOP EXPERIENCES

BEST TIMES TO GO South Australia is a year-round destination; the climate varies from hot and dry in the interior of the state to milder, wetter climates of the southeast coast – where Adelaide sits. Care must be taken when visiting the inland region during summer (December – March) when temperatures can be extremely high.

Bruny Island Full Day Cruise

Grand Port Arthur with Lunch

Take a Full Day Tour from Hobart & spend a day on Bruny Island including a guided return bus tour, three hour cruise, morning tea & lunch. Robert Pennicott’s multi-award winning wilderness cruise takes you along Bruny Island’s rugged coast beneath some of Australia’s highest sea cliffs. You will enter deep sea caves and join in the search for wildlife such as seals, dolphins & sea birds. The custom built boats are ideal for viewing the spectacular coastline & wildlife with covered open-air seating providing an excellent all round view & connection with the environment.

Rich in visual history, the Port Arthur Historic Site evokes a powerful sense of our past convict era and of early Australian settlement heritage. Sitting tranquilly amidst English oaks and gardens, Port Arthur is a harsh contrast to the beauty of the Tasman Peninsula. On this tour you will be guided through the historic Port Arthur convict site with a guide who has access to over 30 restored buildings and ruins, join a walking tour of the “Isle of the Dead” and take a cruise on Carnarvon Bay.

COOK ISLANDS

FIJI

TAHITI

In the heart of the South Pacific, enchanting islands inhabitant by some of the world’s most friendly people, clear turquoise water, white-sand beaches, and nature in abundance. The Cook Islands boast excellent restaurants, resorts, watersports and year round snorkelling. Rarotonga - the main island and the Cook Islands capital & gateway city, is abundantly attractive, lush, mountainous & fringed by reef.

Scattered across the blue seas of the South Pacific are 330 extraordinary islands dotted over 230,000 square kilometres that make up the Fijian Islands. Sunny, unique and unspoiled, the Fijian Islands are 1600 kilometres of pristine white sand beaches, fabulous coral gardens and dazzling blue lagoons. Fiji is an exotic, friendly place where people wear flowers in their hair and smiles on their faces.

Just a 45 minute flight from Rarotonga lies the paradise island and the crown jewel in the Cook Islands, Aitutaki. Boasting a spectacular lagoon swarming with marine life and surrounded by a sparkilng collection of uninhabited islands, Aitutaki is a serene destination of natural beauty.

The Fijian Islands offer plenty of choices when it comes to accommodation from the resort area of the Coral Coast of mainland Viti Levu. The beautiful Mamanuca Islands home to picture perfect resorts, to the stunning Yasawa Islands made famous by the movie “The Blue Lagoon”.

Tahiti is a word that evokes images of lush tropical landscapes; of crystal clear azure lagoons surrounded by soaring volcanic peaks; of love and romance; of gentle goddesses and fierce warriors, it is the stuff of dreams and legends. The first explorers returned home boasting that they had discovered heaven on earth; writers and artists have captured its planning when to go back. So, what is it about Tahiti & Her Islands which makes us forget that life is short and that there is a world of beauty and tranquillity just waiting to be discovered?

published November 2013 with prices shown in UK£. It is valid from 01 April 2014 - 31 March 2015. Advertised prices shown within our brochure are believed correct at the time of printing. However, for a variety of reasons (such as exchange rate variations) the price of your arrangements as confirmed at the time of booking is very likely to be different to that appearing in our brochure. In addition, despite our best efforts, errors in advertised prices & other details occasionally occur & hotel descriptions & facilities can change even after our brochure has been printed. We reserve the right to correct such errors & information. Current pricing will be advised to you at time of booking. The prices shown for ground arrangements have been calculated on the basis of exchange rate applicable in 26 September 2013 as indicated in the “Financial Times Guide to World Currencies”, which were UK Sterling 1.55. The price actually payable will be calculated on the basis of the exchange rates applicable at the time you make your booking. The price may also have changed for other reasons.

booking please contact your travel agent. Any changes made before departure will incur a min. charge of £50 per person. In many cases airlines require tickets to be issued on booking & where tickets have been issued changes may be treated as a cancellation. Please note: A change to the travel departure date once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation & rebooking, not an amendment to the booking. Some suppliers, particularly airlines, whose fares may be non-refundable, may consider a name or other change to an exiting booking, as a cancellation & rebooking, with up to 100% cancellation charges.

In order to guarantee the price of arrangements confirmed at the time of booking or any element of them (i.e. any flight(s), we may need to ask you to make full payment for the arrangements/element(s) concerned at time of booking prior to balance due date. If you fail to meet any such request, any increase(s) in the price will be passed on. It may not always be possible to guarantee the price by making payment in this way in which case any increase(s) will be passed on as set out below. Once the price of your arrangements have been confirmed at the time of booking, then subject to the correction of errors we will only increase or decrease the price in the following circumstances. Price increases or decreases after booking will be passed on by way of a surcharge or refund. A surcharge or refund (as applicable) will be payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause, in the event of any change in our transportation costs or in dues, taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at airports or in the exchange rates which have been used to calculate the cost of your holiday. Even in the above cases, only if any increase in our costs excess 2% of the total cost of your arrangements (excluding any amendment charges) will we levy a surcharge. If any surcharge is greater then 10% of the total cost of your arrangements (excluding any amendment charges), you will be entitled to cancel your booking & receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us (except for any amendment charges). A refund will only be payable if any decrease in our costs exceeds 2% as set out above. Where a refund is due, we will pay you the full amount of such decrease. You have 14 days from the surcharge invoice issue date to tell us if you want to cancel or purchase other arrangements. If we do not hear from you within this time, we are entitled to assume that you will pay the surcharge. Any surcharge must be paid with the balance of the cost of your arrangements or within 14 days of the surcharge invoice issue date, whichever is the later. No surcharge will be levied within 30 days of your departure. No refunds will be payable if any decrease in our costs occurs within this period either.

Cancellations by you: If you need to cancel a confirmed booking you must contact us in writing, either directly or through your travel agent, & the lead passenger must sign the letter. If you cancel before the balance is due, you will forfeit your deposit. Cancellations after full payment has been made will incur additional charges to cover administration & cancellation charges imposed by suppliers. Should you cancel your confirmed booking, or part of your booking, the following cancellation charges will apply:

Changes & cancellations by us: Arrangements are often made many months in advance. Occasionally, we, airlines &/or suppliers have to make changes to & correct errors in published & other details both before & after bookings have been confirmed & cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes & cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we will only cancel your confirmed booking 8 weeks or less before departure where you have failed to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel or where we are forced to do so as a result of circumstances outside our control or because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen arrangements & we have notified you of this not less than 8 weeks before departure. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a significant change. Significant changes incl. the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of time you are away of 24 or more hours or a change of UK departure point to one which is substantially more inconvenient for you (except between airports within or around the same city). If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options: (a) For significant changes accepting the changed arrangements or (b) Purchasing alternative arrangements for us, of a similar standard to those originally booked if available (if the alternative is less expensive than the original arrangements, we will refund the difference but if more expensive, we will ask you to pay the difference, or (c) Cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us. If we have to make a significant change or cancel after the date you have to pay the balance of the cost of your arrangements, we will pay you the compensation set out below depending on the circumstances provided we have received full payment subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable & no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result or unusual & unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care or where we cancel more then 8 weeks before departure because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen arrangements. No compensation will be payable & the above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these Booking Conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or where any change is a minor one. A significant change or cancellation is notified to you.

Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” to change or terminate your arrangements after departure but before the scheduled end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

Our liability: (a) Packages: We are responsible for ensuring your package holiday is of a reasonable standard & as described to you. If any part fails to reach this standard & affects the enjoyment of your holiday, we will offer reasonable compensation providing it is not due to events outside our control. Our liability in all these cases is limited to an amount we consider reasonable, having regard for the cost of the service or facility concerned & the seriousness of the deficiency. ANZCRO (UK) accepts responsibility for death, injury or illness caused by the negligent acts &/or omissions of our employees or agents, together with our suppliers & sub-contractors, servants &/or agents of the same, whilst acting in the course of their employment in the provision of your package holiday. We will pay compensation equivalent to that which would be awarded in an English Court, but will not offer compensation if the injury, illness or death is caused by your own fault or the fault of someone unconnected with the package, or an event that could not have been expected or avoided even with all due care. In respect of international carriage by air or sea our liability in all cases will be limited in the manner permitted by international conventions. You may ask for copies of these on written request to our offices. (b) Other Travel Arrangements: When acting only as a booking agent ANZCRO (UK) has no liability whatsoever for any aspect of the travel arrangements & accepts no liability for any loss, personal injury or death however incurred, except where caused by our own proven negligence.

Complaints procedure: If you have a problem during the course of your holiday, you must inform the supplier of the service, plus a representative whose details we have provided, or telephone our offices immediately as failure to do so may reduce or extinguish any possible claim. We will endeavour to put things right as soon as possible. We will acknowledge all complaints on their receipt & deal with them promptly & efficiently. Any disputes which cannot be amicably settled may (if the client wishes) be referred to arbitration under a special scheme which although devised by arrangement with the ABTA, is administered independently by IDRS, part of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme does not apply for amounts greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims that are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness. The application for arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return to the United Kingdom, but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside this period. Alternatively, you may wish to take any dispute to the Small Claims Court. Full details of the Arbitration Scheme can be obtained from ABTA, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ.

Data Protection Policy: In order to process your booking & to ensure your travel arrangements run smoothly & meet your requirements we (& your travel agent) need to use the info you provide such as name, address, & special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring proper security measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the info on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as airlines, hotels, transport companies etc. The info may also be provided to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Additionally where your holiday is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not however, pass any info onto any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive info you give us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking.) In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons.
