OZ-Adventure, 2006 Surfers Paradise, Australia Ever thought about visiting Australia and just thought it was too hard to
do or don’t know how to go about it?
Ever wanted to see Kangaroos. Koalas, Wombats, Platypus, Emus ?
Ever thought ‘maybe if I had others to do a trip like that with, I
might go ? ‘
Well this November 3rd in 2006 might be the best chance
you’ve ever had to come on down, down under to visit us in Australia. From
personal experience there is NO better way to see a country than with people who
live there and to do this with friends from the Crew who understand just adds to
the experience .
Each year our Australian NF2 group named NF2OZLINE holds the
NF2OZADVENTURE, It’s a group gathering of Aussies and New Zealanders with NF2
and their families and friends and anyone else from the NF2crew that wants to
join us from around the world. The OZ AD is held in a different city of
Australia each year, 2002 was at a city named Surfers Paradise, 2003 was Sydney,
2004 Melbourne, 2005 Sydney once again and on November 3rd 2006 once again in
my home town of Surfers Paradise.
Still sound too hard to do ? Not so.
In 2002 we have over 20 Americans and Canadians from The Crew fly down
under and join us for a week or two or three, we also had Brenda come visit from
Mexico in 2003.
We stay right on the beach in real apartments not hotels and
each apartment has its own full kitchen and laundry, huge balconies and even
parking space. You will be right in the heart of the city, prime location with
restaurants, supermarkets, nightclubs, blue ocean and spotless sandy beaches as
far as your eyes can see.
What do we do ? Well in 2002 we had day and
evening outings together. 2006 outings are still in planning stages.
Apartment sizes are 1, 2 & 3 bedrooms. Both 2 and 3 room apartments
have an En-suite off the main bedroom.
Prices : Remember all these prices are in Australian dollars which
today is worth 75c to the American dollar so the actual cost to you is about 3/4
of what’s quoted below .
1 Bedroom apartments $ 193 per night sleeps 2 ( around $144 US )
2
Bedroom apartments with bathroom and en-suite $274 per night sleeps 4 ( around
$205 US )
3 Bedroom apartments with a huge balcony, bathroom and en-suite
$357 per night sleeps 6 ( $267 US ) That’s only $45 per person per night . I
know a number of Americans already wish to share an apartment with others from
Crew so we’ll work all that out as it gets closer.
We may even fly on to
Sydney for a few days if enough would like to do this experience together. A One
way flight to Sydney is around $70 AU or $53 US. Some may even choose to fly
home from Sydney rather than Brisbane.
Where do you need to fly to ?
You’ll need to fly to Brisbane Airport which is 50 miles north of Surfers
Paradise and as in 2002 we’ll make sure we are there to meet you when you arrive
and transport you to your hotel.
Apartment rates are correct as of
2/2/06, Australian dollar value fluctuates daily. There is no profit made from
these gatherings, we simply split the cost of events between us.
