A group of consultants from TravelManagers were reminded of the diverse holidays experiences in Australia during famil in Australia’s North West.
TravelManagers’ Victoria based personal travel managers Karen Doyle, representative for South Yarra, Katy Hurd, representative for Mount Eliza and Penny Meallin representative for Monbulk, together with Peter Carmichael, representative for Merewether in New South Wales were invited to take part in a famil trip hosted by Australia’s North West Tourism.
Participants on the mega-famil had the opportunity to experience one of five different itineraries. Victoria based personal travel managers Doyle, Hurd and Meallin immersed themselves in Broome and Eco Beach whilst Carmichael experienced the best Gibb River Road and Kununurra had to offer.

Carmichael found it difficult to choose a highlight from his adventure packed itinerary, saying he enjoyed everything from the camel ride to the Cable Beach.
For Doyle it was the ‘mud and bubbles’ experience that was extremely memorable.
The group took time to visit the Lord McAlpine statue in Broome.
The mega famil was unique in that each itinerary culminated at the Cable Beach Club Resort in Broome, where each group presented their experiences before enjoying a farewell dinner.
“The final night get together was a fantastic way to learn more about North West Australia.”

“From my own personal experiences and that of the other participants, I feel more aware of the many different products available in this region.
“I feel I confidently plan and implement my client’s holiday plans with ease now.”
