Enroute we may make a quick photo stop (time permitting) at the scenic Silvan Dam Lookout, that offers sweeping views of the lake, valley & forest hills beyond. The Cloudehill Gardens are known as ‘a garden for all seasons’. The garden has deep volcanic loam soil and 1.25 metres of rainfall and little frost, all factors to explain why the Dandenong’s is one of the outstanding places to garden worldwide.

The banks, lawns, paths, steps and garden beds were designed and constructed in 1996. Since then, it has been the variety of plants, the density of planting and the original, eclectic nature of the planting scheme that has evolved to become a major feature of this garden.

To qualify for the extension, members facing expiry in 2021 must book a Qantas-operated flight for travel until the end of 2021 between now and their current tier expiry date.

13.01.2022 With the NSW border now open to Victoria, it's time to also open up our plans to seeing more of Australia. On 8th June 2021, Norfolk Island will be celebrating 165th Bounty Day, their national day, the anniversary of the arrival of the Pitcairn Islanders to Norfolk Island. This is a great time to visit the island and to be part of the celebrations, so why not join the Gippsland Travel 10-day fully escorted tour, departing Warragul on 6 June 2021, escorted by Senior Travel C...onsultant, Jacinta Anderson. Perhaps the centrepiece of Bounty Day is the all-of-community picnic that features traditional dishes in amazing abundance! Island dancing and music also kicks in as the festive part of the day really begins. As the afternoon wears on the adults sit back with a ‘baeli ful’ (full belly) and the children play cricket or throw a football about. Children and adults alike also enjoy the ‘Bounty Ball’ during the week. Dressed in their finest suits they compete, waltz and barn-dance the night away. There are only a few places still available on the tour, with limited availability on the island during this wonderful event. Call the office on 5623 5151 or email [email protected] to save your spot on what will be a highlight of 2021.
