Escorted Holidays with Shirley Tamm

Yes, our Spectacular Australia Tour departing in June truly lives up to its name – Spectacular!  Our past passengers have all praised this fantastic tour. 

Join me as we depart from Sydney, first class on the XPT to vibrant Melbourne staying for 3 nights with a city tour included. 

Our Melbourne and Tassie passengers then join us to fly (this year because of the changed rail schedules) to ‘beautiful’ Adelaide for a 3 night stay including a city tour. 

Our Adelaide passengers then join us as, we board The Legendary Ghan travelling in Gold Service, overnight to the Red Centre - Alice Springs. 

We stay in Alice overnight before travelling to Uluru (Ayers Rock) for 2 days and 1 night. We arrive in time to visit magnificent Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) including Walpa Gorge. We then experience the amazing sunset over Uluru whilst enjoying drinks and canapés before we drive to our fantastic dinner under the stars. 

Next morning we witness the awe-inspiring sunrise over Uluru, visit Mutitjulu Waterhole and the Cultural Centre before we travel back to spend overnight in Alice. We include a tour of Alice before boarding The Ghan in Gold Service, overnight to Darwin. 

Our stop in Katherine includes a cruise down the Katherine Gorge or a town tour before we arrive in the tropical capital of NT, Darwin for 3 nights. In Darwin, we include a city tour and some free time to explore. 

From Darwin we fly to the exotic pearling town of Broome for 3 nights. We include a fascinating town tour finishing up at Cable Beach with drinks and nibbles, to watch one of the best sunsets in the world. 

From Broome, we fly to the lovely city of Perth for 3 nights including a city tour & river cruise to Fremantle. We then board the mighty Indian Pacific for 3 wonderful nights in Gold Service, back to Adelaide and then onto Sydney. 

All meals, drinks and excursions included whilst on-board The Ghan & Indian Pacific. Full breakfast daily with many dinners, flights, tours and transfers included.

Please book early for this tour as it is always very popular!

Happy New Year to you all! I do hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are now looking forward to a fantastic year ahead for 2015.

I’m back in the office after being away for nearly 2 months! On the 8th December I escorted our lovely group on the Sun Princess to Tasmania which was just wonderful. We also included all of the amazing shore excursions that everyone enjoyed.  I spent a relaxing Christmas in Melbourne with my son and daughter-in-law and a few days at a beach house in picturesque Torquay. 

For one week of my holidays, I was asked to be included in a ‘photo shoot’ for the new brochure and website on the Murray Princess. We did the superb 4 night cruise up stream on the Murray which by the way, we have included this year, in our SA Highlights tour in November. We had a busy but absolutely fabulous time (‘being models’) and I have been ‘raving’ about how good this 4 night cruise is–so if you have always wanted to do a cruise on the Murray, then join me on our tour in November which also includes Kangaroo Island and the Barossa. If perhaps this time doesn’t suit you, please make sure you include this Murray Princess cruise on your ‘bucket list’.

This is the time to start planning or even booking on your next holiday, as we all know how quickly the year gets away from us!  I always say to everyone I meet and at all of my presentations, if you have your health and if it’s in your budget, don’t put it off, just DO IT -  we all never know what life holds for us. Of course I would love you all to join me on all of my Tours, however, if you do have any other travel plans, please remember our very experienced travel consultants in our Sydney and Adelaide offices who will be happy to assist you with any of your travel plans, either within Australia or beyond.

If you haven’t done so already, please reply to our invitation to join me and our lovely Sydney staff for a fantastic seafood buffet Lunch whilst we cruise around beautiful Sydney Harbour. I will also be giving a presentation on our Escorted Tours for 2015 and maybe a preview of tours in the future.  Please invite your travelling friends or relatives and join us for a totally relaxing and enjoyable day. I will look forward to seeing you there.

Warm Regards, Shirley
