Travel information

Europe, United Kingdom, America and Canada: Travelling the world is financially a ‘best value’ when flying one-way around the globe!  You can start in Europe, visit Asia for a flight stop-over, onto Australia and the Medinfo 2007 Congress, then visit New Zealand and maybe colleagues in America or Canada and then fly onto home!  Or, similarly commence your travel in America and see the world! It is magical just what the visitor can do and see when flying a round-world-trip! But maybe time or your travel route is of a premium and a visit to Australia for 7 -10 days is all the time you can afford!

Asia, South Africa, South America: Travel your selected airline routes to Australia

Our preferred and recommended international and national carrier is QANTAS, the Australian Airline
