Paris on your doorstep at the 'new' Brisbane
Brisbane is home to a special Parisienne precinct. Truly a most amazing development within Fortitude Valley. In fact Emporium has put a brand new face on what was once a Brisbane bus depot. This is a real living slice of Paris, with its narrow tree lined streets. The precinct includes the award winning Emporium Hotel and its neighbour Belle Epoque, which is a café, bistro, bar and patisserie. Stylish fashion-conscious big-name boutiques and dining options add to the ambience. This is one tremendous experience and not to be missed. Check out the precinct by going to www.emporiumhotel.com.au or telephone 1300 883 677.
Just think of the money you'll have, not having to access an international fare to sample Paris!
Victor Harbor – true South Australia
Some weeks back, I did a mention for one of the great accommodation properties of Victor. Since that story there has been a change of email address. It's worthwhile noting the new address is www.victorapartments.com.au Take time off to have a look at what is a crisp and clean web site. Then head to Victor Harbor.
$20 not a bad security investment
An Australian security device keeps subscribers up to date and aware of travel alerts. For instance travellers in Bangkok and those in Mumbai received warnings of internal unrest and dangers via SMS messages to their mobile phones. Most travel agents have these priced from $20. Visit www.TravelMessenger.com.au
It's a dog's life in NSW
Well at least the tourism industry has finally accepted that there are some of us who want to travel with our family pet. With a pet friendly website it's now possible to check which accommodation, restaurants, cafés and the like actually extend a welcoming paw for visiting pets. The listings include shops and spas, each of which cater for your furry (or feathered) travelling companions. For instance, take pooch along to the 4.5 star Sebel Pier One in Sydney, book the De Ville pamper pet package, pay $315 per night and that'll get you room service breakfast for two, bedding for your dog, and a bonus squeaky toy for your pet. Get the facts and the conditions by clicking on to www.visitnsw.com
