TRAVEL BRIEFS

Judging Daydream
Several years ago I visited Daydream Island as a member of the Tourism Awards judging panel. It's a relatively small island but cram packed with so many activities and I was impressed. 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. A four-night 'dream' offer is on sale for only $110 per person per night. Note a rate change on April 1 and a block out period applies between April 9 – 14. All dates listed apply to 2009. Heaps to do but a highlight is the open-air picture theatre, sipping a cool drink, under the stars. Check it out by calling 1800 075 040 or visit www.daydreamisland.com
Save 10% on June sailing
The wonderful waterways of France call and with a special discount applicable on June sailings, the whole experience has moved up a notch. Book by February 28 2009 and the discount applies. Each boat is self contained and sleeps two, four, six or eight guests. Travel the waterways and stop off when and where you want, explore quaint villages, take in the scenery, without ruining the plastic. Check availabilities and conditions by ringing 1300 858 304 or visit www.frenchtravel.com.au
Fancy a real escape?
Sail from Bangkok to Beijing, by way of Singapore, Vietnam, several ports of China and Nagasaki on a sixteen night luxury cruise aboard the superliner Diamond Princess. Book through ecruising.travel and pay from just $3299 per person, twin share. There's a choice of nine restaurants, Broadway-style showroom entertainment, late-release movies and of course the thrill of sailing the ocean blue.
