---++Swan Valley Options - Piers Higgs

*Information for registration is at the bottom of this page*

There are a range of options available for the Conference available from various tour companies. I am dealing with Swan Valley Tours, who have a good reputation for running quality tours in the area. Their web site is at [[http://www.svtours.com.au/ Swan Valley Tours]]. Also note that the tour company can also arrange for the bus to go through Kings Park on the way to the Swan valley to see the sights of Perth! They are very accomodating in this respect.

You can literally spend up to $200 for a day trip, which I think is going to be way too expensive for people considering the feedback on the accomodation. So I have basically worked on a figure of half of that fee, and I am hoping a price of less than $100 for a day trip will still be in the range of attendees. For that I have put together three packages in conjunction with the tour company. All of them basically involve a coach trip, rather than a boat trip. This is unfortunate, but the cost of the boat blows the budget.

We should consider that some people might be also heading home on Sunday night and we need to make sure they are aware that they cannot expect to be dropped at the airport or back at their hotel to suit them.

|
|
* Whichever we choose, we need to pay a non-refundable deposit of $100
