All dressed up and ready for the Queens Slipper
There comes a time when you simply have to stop lounging around the office, eating peeled grapes and barking orders to unseen minions. There’s a time when you have to get down to some serious work. It’s not pretty and no one looks forward to these times but as the great man said, into each life a little rain must fall.

Travellers Auto Barn celebrated their X-mas party at the Minus 5 bar & the Lowenbrau. Click yourself through the gallery and see how it all went from well behaved to out of control including Marie’s “THE DAY AFTER” pics!!!
If sore heads around the office are anything to go by last nights Golden Backpacks awards dinner was a night to remember, or not as the case may be. Honestly, I’ve seen more productive dole queues at 9am than this office this morning.
Going into last nights award having won the previous two years was an exciting albeit daunting prospect. We’d been nominated among some massive players in Oz/NZ travel – Virgin Blue, Tiger Airways, Greyhound – These are some seriously heavy hitters in travel circles. It’s an achievement to even be nominated next to names like that.
Big Sam Kekovich was on had to add a bit of true Aussie flavour to proceedings and did a stand up job. These things can turn into a bit of a “Logies” nightmare if you’ve got a dud presenter but Sam pulled out all the stops to get the 450 strong crowd going.
Unfortunately at the end of the day we didn’t get enough votes to make it three in a row but still a second place in a field like that is nothing to be sniffed at. Congratulation go to Greyhound who took home the silverware on the night. Enjoy your win but just wait till next year!!!
