I t’s no secret that here at newcastle airport, we are proud of our standard of customer service and commitment to continual improvement. so when national Volunteer week rolled around in May, I saw it as an opportune time to think

about our newcastle airport ambassadors, who freely give their time to help our passengers around the terminal (read my article inside to find out more about their role), to enhance the overall customer experience.

another way in which we have invested to ensure that we continue to exceed customer service expectations is through participating in the international airport service Quality (asQ) regional program; a benchmarking survey that provides insight into the customer experience at regional airports around the world.

the results are in from our second round of benchmarking, and we have a lot to be happy about. However, we also use this kind of survey to continually look for areas where we can improve on our services. It’s your feedback that drives our great customer service, so please – keep it coming.

We may sound conceited by saying that we know we offer exceptional customer services,

but it is because you told us we do! newcastle airport participates in the international airport service Quality (asQ) regional program; a benchmarking survey that provides insight into the average passenger’s ‘on the day’ experience at airports from all around the world that have less than 2 million passengers annually.

newcastle airport joined the asQ regional program in august 2010 and has just completed the second survey period. the results from round two showed that we had an improvement with the overall

satisfaction of the newcastle airport compared with the previous reporting period. this means you like us... really like us.

we are continuing to out-perform the overall regional airport average for customer service standards and in the last survey period, newcastle airport ranked in the top 10 (out of more than 40 airports) for the following services:> availability of baggage carts / trolleys> efficiency of check-in staff> courtesy, helpfulness of check-in staff> waiting time at security inspection> Feeling of being safe and secure> ease of finding your way through airport

> Value for money of shopping facilities> Internet access / wi-Fi

In addition to these items, there were a number of areas where we were pipped at the post, ranking 11th overall.

we’re also using this survey to better understand where you’d like to see improvement. so keep those comments coming, and we’ll keep on listening.

In May, we celebrated both national Volunteer week and the third anniversary of newcastle airport's volunteer

ambassador Program.

For the past three years, I have watched our teal-coated team of ambassadors smile and assist our passengers every day and take pleasure in the assistance they provide our airport patrons. It's this simple pleasure that inspired me to use national Volunteer week to walk a shift in their shoes. and what a shift it was! I donned a teal blazer and a ‘here to help’ badge and ventured into the airport terminal. My experience confirmed my belief that volunteers are the unsung heroes of our society.

My shift required me to shadow long-term ambassador Julie, who enthusiastically showed me the ropes. with the average age of our volunteer ambassadors being 66, I developed an appreciation for their energy and enthusiasm. what I witnessed was remarkable. Julie was sprightly in her step, quick to identify and assist those in need and easily calmed a crying baby – a task that I failed miserably at. Julie showed me how to call our operation centre and report an unattended bag in the terminal, how to assist passengers to use the car park payment machines and read the

flight information display boards. and all the while, restocking her arms with free airport Magazines and distributing them to passengers.

what amazed me the most as I went about the tasks that Julie delegated, was how happy it made me to do them. It might seem like such a small thing to pull a bag off the

baggage carousel for an elderly passenger, but they were so grateful for the assistance. the biggest thing I learned during my experience was that no matter what the volunteering is for, every volunteer is vital to the fabric of our society. and now that I have walked in their shoes I see the need to recognise and celebrate these people during national Volunteer week.

the ambassador Program was introduced to provide a positive customer experience at the airport and the Program has been a success. It allows newcastle airport to provide superior customer service while freeing up its operations team to focus on technical duties. ambassadors receive personal satisfaction from meeting and helping others.

through the hard work of our ambassadors, newcastle airport has been inducted to the Hunter-central coast tourism awards hall of fame after winning the specialised tourism services award for three consecutive years. their efforts also won us the Hunter Business awards outstanding customer service award last year.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our ambassadors for their ongoing hard work and enthusiasm. we don't know where we'd be without them.

In March we held our newcastle airport charity Golf day. a field of 39 teams (156 players) played 4-person ambrose with an 11am shotgun start. we handed over a cheque

for $40,000 to the Hunter Breast cancer Foundation, which included the cash raised during the day as well as a $10,000 donation from newcastle airport. this total amount is a significant increase from our $30,000 cheque in 2010, and $15,000 cheque in 2009.

the funds will help the Foundation produce more than a year’s supply of hygiene-grade post-surgery comfort cushions for patients who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy as well as provide domestic support to families through lawn mowing and cooking services.

Overall, we thought it was fitting that last place, which we

aptly titled the ‘Booby Prize’, went to the Hunter Breast cancer Foundation team! what a scream!

Testimonial“Newcastle Airport has a significant role to play within the Hunter region. Of course its role as a transport hub is well known and we are most proud of its continued success. But it is its role within the community that identifies and supports areas of need, such as the support of the Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation, which sets it apart.”Rosalie taggart, President of Hunter Breast cancer Foundation

In the last edition of airport Magazine, we told you we’re working on securing more destinations in-and-out of newcastle airport to connect you to even more places. as we explained, the rigmarole

with the airlines is quite a lengthy process that has many hoops we need to jump through.

But while we’re working on it, have you considered hubbing? Yes, it’s true that you can’t fly from newcastle to adelaide direct (yet), but did you know you can often fly from newcastle to Melbourne and then Melbourne to adelaide for less than it would cost to drive to sydney and fly from there? this is what is called airport hubbing; using another airport to get from newcastle airport to your intended final destination.

with four flights daily to Melbourne you can quite cost-effectively hub from newcastle to Melbourne and from there to adelaide, Hobart, launceston or Perth - something to think about next time you’re contemplating the F3 and sydney traffic (on-and-off road).

so bypass sydney and 40-something sets of traffic lights, come to newcastle airport and start your trip with a smile.

do you have your laptop, smart phone or PDa with you? then take advantage of newcastle airport’s free wi-Fi service, which is available throughout the terminal and allows you to

easily stay online before or after your journey.

Just another way we’re adding to the convenience of your airport experience. no password required.

nEWCasTLE aIrpOrT,COnnECTIng yOU In MOrE Ways The airline formerly known as Virgin Blue, unveiled a new livery

and a new brand, Virgin australia airlines, in May. the aim is to create price competition in the business travel market in

australia and a bid to break the ‘near-monopoly that Qantas airways has had in the corporate travel sector locally’. the new brand brings together Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue and V australia.

worried about the price of your fare? the airline tells us not to be, stating it won’t raise fares for its core budget customer base... phew!

we are committed to customer service, and we’re sure you will be

happy to hear (pun intended) that, as a direct result of your feedback, we have installed a new terminal public address system!

the new Pa system uses state-of-the-art technology to provide even, intelligible coverage for announcements, recordings and background music. Intelligently ‘zoned’, the new system provides a combination of manual volume control and automatic noise-sensing, and – get this – automatically adjusts volume as required. not bad, huh?

so, don’t try to blame the Pa to the cabin crew if you’re the last one running out to board your flight – you’re on your own on that one!


have you taken advantage of newcastle airport Information services’ easy airport transfers? If

the answer is no, you’re doing it the hard way. easy airport transfers allow you to get to the airport without hassle (and in style) in a chauffeur-driven vehicle - and you know what that means; no parking fees!

newcastle airport Information services

specialises in booking both simple, cost-effective and luxury airport transfers starting from $35 for a one-way transfer from newcastle cBD. Do it the easy way, we say, and start your trip with a smile!

Make it Melbourne...

by bettina toth

Whether it’s a

girl’s weekend, a

romantic getaway for

two or even a family

holiday... make it

Melbourne,

always a treat

StaySofitel Melbourne on CollinsFor the utmost in pleasure, there’s no going past this plush 5 Star hotel. From its first class position to the magnificent service and the beautiful design, what better way to kick start your Melbourne stay.

Although it’s only minutes from the gastronomic and social delights that Melbourne is renowned for, the restaurants and bars within the Sofitel itself are impressive. NO35 is a seriously elegant dining destination, and a special mention goes to the buffet breakfast. Moet at 9am anyone? There’s also The Atrium Bar on level 35 as well as Sofi’s Lounge located next to the lobby.

When it comes to the rooms, the impact felt from the 180 degree views is rather difficult to describe in words, and not even a picture

can do the real thing justice. Come to think of it, that’s one of the best things about the Sofitel; every room has that impact as the room levels only start from level 36!

There is of course a slight danger that with all the room’s great features, you’ll be tempted to stay indoors instead of explore the city and with the tremendous service, this danger is kicked up a notch. You can’t help but smile when everyone greets you with a warm “bonjour”, a reminder of the hotel’s very French spirit.

So, for the ultimate in accommodation, spoil yourself and stay at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins – there’s no better way to make it Melbourne.

25 Collins Street, Melbourne03 9653 0000www.sofitelmelbourne.com.au

EatMamasitaJust around the corner from the Sofitel is this little gem, Mamasita Mexican Restaurant.

In their own words the perception of Mexican food is changing rapidly and no longer do people have to resort to Americanised Mexican food. Mamasita proudly serves “real Mexican tacos and tostadas,” staying true to traditional cooking methods and flavours - a total treat for the tastebuds.

My personal favourite was the taco filled with marinated prawns, habanero chillies and chipotle almond sauce – absolutely divine!

The quality tequilas on offer are definitely worth a mention too!

Level 1/11 Collins Street, Melbourne03 9650 3821www.mamasita.com.au

GingerboyServing “a modern interpretation of south east Asian hawker style street food,” Gingerboy’s ambience will have you chilling out for hours when it feels like minutes. The warm, funky design is the perfect setting for the taste sensations that unfold!

A special mention goes to their char grilled asparagus rice noodle rolls with Japanese pumpkin and chilli vinegar as well as the steamed silken tofu – delicious! Just a word of warning though, Gingerboy has some seriously hot and spicy foods – perfect for those winter Melbourne evenings.

27/29 Crossley Street, Melbourne03 9662 4200www.gingerboy.com.au

PlayThe Toff in TownOK, it’s party time! And what better place than The Toff, a funky and rich venue where the drinks keep coming and the music sets a mood for fun.

Located a floor above sister venue Cookie, The Toff’s main bar or ‘carriage room’ is very different with a 20th century style train carriage running down the centre. In the carriage, there are booths which you can reserve and each can be made super private by closing the doors or even pulling down the blinds! And the drinks? There’s a buzzer for service!

THEWORLD OFNORFOLK

Welcome to the World of Norfolk......where you can be as laid back

or busy as you want to be.

I f you’re looking for a seriously laid back holiday but want the option of adventure should the mood strike, take a trip to Norfolk

Island - a destination where you’ll feel a world away from the rest.

Only a short flight from Australian shores, the clock seems to tick a little slower on Norfolk; some say it’s the laid back attitude of the residents, while others believe there’s magic in the air. Personally though, I believe it’s a mixture of all the beautiful elements of the island from the convict-built Georgian buildings which are still in daily use to the Kingston and Arthur's Vale Historic Area (KAVHA) - now World Heritage Listed as part of the Australian Convict Sites inscription.

To more on KAVHA, it’s actually one of the best preserved historical sights in the Pacific and when you walk amongst the ruins and restored buildings, you can’t help but feel as

though you’ve stepped back in time. There are many attractions and tours on the

island from Convict Settlement and Kingston Tours to chapel tours and even cemetery tours (through the convict cemetery).

Of course you can forget about an itinerary if you prefer to keep things a little more relaxed as there are plenty of lookouts and walking trails to take in some of the world’s most breathtaking sights. The pictures don’t do the views justice.

And what about the cows? Let’s just say they have a little more command than anywhere else as they have right of way on Norfolk Island roads. Should you hit one, be prepared for hefty fines as well as being smacked with the bill for the damage to your car.

One way to explore the island for the more adventurous is on horse back. Ride up the hills and take in the beautiful ocean views – there’s nothing else like it.

So why not take a trip to a place unlike any other, where whatever your mood you’ll find something to suit.

When it comes to jewellery, Tibor and Janet Palatinus certainly know their stuff. They’ve been in the industry

for over 30 years and while I’m sure it would be difficult to resist the temptation of buying something new from their gorgeous selection every day, being part of so many people’s ‘life highlights’ must be something truly special.

When asked how it feels to be part of those special times in people’s lives like the 21st birthdays, the engagements, the weddings and the anniversaries, Janet says nothing else comes close.

“It’s very fulfilling to see the excitement and happiness on a customer's face,” says Janet. “Just last weekend, we had a customer purchase a diamond engagement ring and after the purchase, his girlfriend joined him and he proposed right then and there!

“Fortunately she said yes!”Opening their latest store, Silver

and Gold Warehouse in

February this year on the site of their former store, Paragon Jewellery, Janet says the change came about because they wanted be better represented in the shopping centre with less of

the high-end jewellery their previous store was known for.

“We wanted to have more fashion oriented

and branded jewellery,” Janet said. “But most importantly, we still

maintain the quality and value for money for

which Paragon Jewellery was renowned.”Silver and Gold Warehouse carries a wide

range of stock and can design and make individual pieces to a customer's specifications.

“Because we have our in-house jeweller, we can produce jewellery for customers using existing pieces they may want to re-design or from concept to finished product with gemstones or diamonds supplied by Silver and Gold Warehouse,” Janet added. “And we still have the same day jewellery repair service as well.”

The best part is you don’t even have to go to the store to be able to shop there. Tibor and Janet can arrange orders and deliveries to anywhere in Australia, and even overseas if need be.

And, for those ever loyal to the previous store, it’s not the last we’ll hear of Paragon Jewellery.

“Paragon Jewellery will re-open toward the end of September in the shopping concourse associated with the new Hilton Hotel in Surfers Paradise,” said Janet.

So make sure when you’re next in town, you pop in for a visit. Who knows, perhaps it will end up as one of your ‘life highlights’.

Silver and Gold Warehouse at Harbour Town Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast is truly a ‘must visit’ for anyone looking for that special something...

The options are endless...New lines on sale at Silver and Gold Warehouse include:

• The Tuskc range of mens and ladies steel fashion jewellery.

• Caseti mens jewellery, also in steel, features avant-garde designs and stunningly different pens.

• The latest in personalised jewellery, represented by Legacy with a collection available in silver or gold (rose, white or yellow) of keep-sakes in bracelets, pendants, rings and key chains which can be engraved with one's own personal message, family names, quotes or anything which will be lasting and evoke memories to pass onto future generations.

• Amber jewellery, available in gold or silver.

• A fabulous range of 18ct. gold diamond and gemstone jewellery.

All stones are of the highest quality in beautiful designs, many produced by Silver and Gold Warehouse's in-store jeweller.

Whether you wish to spend $50 or $15,000, Silver and Gold Warehouse can satisfy all your jewellery desires with unmatched quality. n

I t’s the largest organ on the human body, most people carry almost 4 kilograms of it, and without it, we would literally evaporate

into thin air – it’s our skin. There’s no doubt it’s very important to keep our skin healthy (yes gentlemen for you too!), so I caught up with Queensland beauty expert, Rachelle Lower to get a few top tips on skincare.

Rachelle, tell us a little about how you started out in the beauty industry. I studied at Queensland School of Beauty Therapy in Toowong, Brisbane. I’ve got a Diploma in Beauty Therapy, Certificate in spray tanning and spray tanning services as well as a Diploma in makeup artistry and theatrics.

I worked in skin care and makeup at Clinique for four years before branching out on my own in August 2010. Now I’m at a business called beauty on Bank at Graceville which caters to all ages, both men and women.

I perform all beauty treatments from facials to facial peels, tinting, waxing, tanning, makeup and hand a foot treatments.

Wow. So you would know plenty of important tips for skincare then… The most important thing to do when it comes to skin care is EXFOLIATION. Everyone, every day produces one layer of unhealthy skin, so you can see why it’s important to remove it once a day.

So (in a very non abrasive way) exfoliate the skin once a day in a smooth polishing manner. Everyone differs slightly of course according to how sensitive you are. Exfoliation is the key to great skin.

OK, and anything in particular damaging to skin? Air-conditioning can be damaging to the skin if you don’t keep your skin nourished and hydrated. It completely sucks all the good water from the skin. A good day cream, whether it be moisturising or oil free, and plenty of water are very important. Water plays a key role in every bodily function, through circulation, transporting nutrients and oxygen to the face and body. We as humans are made up of

70 per cent water and we need to rehydrate our bodies constantly so our skin doesn’t dehydrate and become dry, flakey, uneven, or even become weak.

Air-conditioning is a tough thing to avoid, especially for travellers… do you have any tips? If wearing makeup, be sure to take makeup wipes to remove it from your face after approx eight hours. This avoids clogging, excess oil build up and breakouts.

Take a cleanser to clean the face (non water removal).

Close the air vent above your head to stop direct air blowing onto your body and skin causing it to dry out and become tight.

Again, order water over soft drink to keep yourself hydrated.

UV rays are stronger at high altitudes and pass through the windows, so be sure to keep nourished with an SPF factor, either separate or combined within your daily cream.Keep lip balm and hand cream within close proximity for reapplication during your flight.Omega 3 supplements and low doses of Zinc are great, to improve the skin’s appearance.

Realistically, most of the time women take better care of their skin than men – what are your thoughts on that? Skin care is just as important, if not more important, for men as they tend to age quicker than women. They have thicker hardened skin in comparison to women and produce more dead skin cells in a shorter amount of time.

Men’s skin is 15 per cent oilier than women’s, hence the importance of cleansing the skin very well, morning and night and daily exfoliation with a gentle polishing scrub.

Finish with a light moisturiser with an SPF in the day and an oil free moisturiser for the night.

TIPS FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN

• After shaving for the men, always moisturise with a product that has absolutely NO alcohol in it.• EXFOLIATE once a day.• ALWAYS use an SPF during the day• Everything in moderation.• Stay away from scrubs that contain rough elements that could damage the skin.• A good scrub will leave the skin feeling polished, smooth and invigorated, not hurt you.• Maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle.• Always rub creams into both your décolletage and your face starting from the bottom up. Drag the skin up, not down. This helps keep the elasticity in the skin for longer.

“Skin care is just as important, if not

more important, for men as they

tend to age quicker than women.”

Honda Aircraft Company Inc., recently announced the first FAA-conforming

HondaJet light business jet achieved a maximum speed of 425 KTAS (787 km/h) and Mach 0.72.

This achievement surpasses the company’s performance commitment of 420 KTAS for the production HondaJet.

The FAA-conforming HondaJet’s maximum speed of 425 KTAS was recorded at 30,000 ft. in early March, less than three months after the aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight on the 20th December last year.

“We are extremely pleased with the strong performance of the FAA-conforming HondaJet early in the flight test program,” said Michimasa Fujino, Honda Aircraft Company President and CEO. “Our flight tests indicate the aircraft is handling and performing as expected, with excellent control harmony and stability.

“The HondaJet’s unique over-the-wing engine mount configuration and natural laminar-flow leading edge and fuselage nose designs significantly reduce drag and greatly contribute to such outstanding performance.

“In addition, the HondaJet’s HF120 engines are exhibiting carefree handling of thrust and are supporting top-level performance and efficiency.”

Many couples who are interested in property investing are actively seeking ways increase their wealth and create

financial security for their family and themselves. Already they are one step ahead of the pack; they are on the same page, working together and planning for their future and financial security.

At a recent event I presented at, I asked the audience; “What is the greatest thing that most couples or family members fight about?”

The answer was astoundingly clear..... “MONEY!”

Money is the one thing that we use on an everyday basis, the one thing we cannot live without and the one thing that can cause us so much pain. Love can be grand until the arguments begin. And more often than not, it’s about that thing we just can’t run away from.

People spend years of their lives arguing about finances; going round and around in circles and usually most of the arguments circle around a common theme – financial worry, debt and trying to decipher where the money has gone, who spent what and blaming each other.

So what should you do if you and your partner simply can’t agree on how the finances should be handled? How do you move forward, stop the blame game and get on the same page as a couple?

To give you an insight into how financially fit and functional couples succeed, we have constructed a list on how to keep the peace and progress together in both love and money:

Take responsibility for your financesThe problem is not going away. This means facing the problem head on and deciding you are both ready to stop blaming each other and focus on a solution. This is not the time to ignore the issues, pretend they don’t exist, keep spending and sweeping problems under the rug!

Devise a budgetThis one is difficult and you need to be totally transparent! Ensure you include absolutely everything; from weekly food shopping, petrol, kids sporting activities, hair dyes ......absolutely everything! Yes this means including daily coffees or sneaky snacks and keep it realistic - don’t begrudge yourself small indulgences (i.e. make it one of those nice ones where you can still go out for dinner occasionally and not feel guilty).

Find an amazing mentor Find an amazing mentor or coach who can work through the details and issues and that can keep you on track at all times; someone you are accountable to and someone you know you both have to answer to.

THE WARFAREOF LOVEAND MONEY

6 Key Tips to

Keep the Peace

by naomi beaumont


THE WARFAREOF LOVEAND MONEY

people to do this, in addition to working out personalised financial structure ensuring clients are moving towards their goals quicker. Work out a step-by-step financial and property investing plan specifically tailored to your particular financial situation (self-employed or otherwise). You may need to consolidate debts and roll credit cards onto a lower interest rate to work through debt; you may need to refinance your home loan to release some equity and attain some cashflow. Whatever the problem is, no matter how complicated your finances may seem, you always work better when you have someone to answer to and mentor you.

Pay bills togetherBecome proactive and remember this is a partnership! Become active and involved and keep in mind that this is both of your money and you both need to be aware of what exactly is being spent each week on bills.

Communication Communication is the key alongside complete honesty, so don’t keep money secrets or commit financial infidelity. For example, consult each other on larger purchases. If you start hiding new shoes in the cupboard, spending a sneaky $40 at the pub every couple of days with your mates or ripping price tags off tops, hanging them in your wardrobe and telling your partner, “What that old thing – I bought that month’s ago!”, you will absolutely blow the budget, your newly found financial trust and any hope of moving forward together financially.

Set some common goals Write them down and make it binding to ensure you both can see you are moving exactly towards this goal and where you want to go; for example paying off debt, saving for a holiday, investing for your future or buying a house or investment property.

Love and money is the main conflict between so many couples with many of my clients telling me, “If we didn’t have money issues, we would be so much happier!”

Unfortunately the old adage that ‘money doesn’t make you happy’, in today’s world is not so true. Money worries contribute to elevated stress levels, restless nights, anxiety and frustration – so how can this possibly not affect a relationship?

I have helped so many clients structure their finances in the best possible way to achieve the best results the fastest way and helped them research to find out if there is a better way to be saving money. For example, find out if there can be a better way to juggle the mortgage/s, credit cards, car loans, personal loan. Find out if there is a quicker and easier way to be achieving your financial goals as a couple. Find someone to work with you step-by-step. An impartial person and someone you can be fully accountable to. Find out if you have options and are using your income in the best possible way and investing your money correctly. Could you be building wealth or a passive income with property for yourself whilst you are working? Could your money be working for you harder and faster?

If you need help in sorting through the money maze together, then you’re not alone. Love on its own is a complicated affair – however throw money into the equation and it’s understandable if you feel you may need some guidance. It’s time to face the music, give yourself a financial health check and stop the warfare of love and money – it really is easy once you’re on the same page. n

When you get hot, dry drought conditions in the Hunter Valley, you can bet you are going to get low-yielding, wonderfully-flavoursome fruit from the Shiraz vines that simply thrive under these harsh circumstances.

And such was the 2007 vintage, giving Tintilla Estate’s James Lusby just what he wanted for his iconic Tintilla Reserve Shiraz.

“If you could not make a good wine in 2007, you shouldn’t be in the winemaking game,” he jokes. “I love the subtleties of Hunter Shiraz and with our Reserve Shiraz, we aim for a flavour-based wine, not dominated or inhibited by high alcohol, a wine that will age well.”

And that’s certainly what he achieved with the 2007: a wine with wonderful plum, blackberry and blackcurrant flavours, complemented with typical Shiraz black pepper and spice.

At $30, this is a cracker drop to enjoy with wintry fare such as sweet and spicy beef short ribs and mash.

AT its inaugural launch, the late Len Evans described Penfolds’ Yattarna Chardonnay as “a step forward for Australian Chardonnay,” referring to it being all about respecting the character of the individual sites from which its fruit originated.

The latest Yattarna, the 2008 vintage, continues this philosophy with fruit for this 14th release coming from across Tasmania and the Adelaide Hills.

“Our best fruit, from our best barriques for our best white,” says winemaker, Peter Gago.

Australian travellers want more value for dollar and flexibility when it comes to the way most hotels charge their

guests, according to a new travel study.The national study of 1000 travellers

commissioned by CheapHotels.com.au also revealed 69% of Australians said they would prefer to stay at a hotel that charges on a 24 hour basis and 61% think paying by the hour is a fairer way to pay for their hotel stay, over the traditional industry fee structure that charges guests the same price regardless of how long they actually stay in their room.

Furthermore, 59% believe they should get a discounted rate when they check in late or check out early.

The study also shows Australians are spending less of their holiday time in their hotels, with 64% of respondents reporting that besides sleeping, they typically spend less than two hours a day at their hotel. However, 74% of respondents said accommodation costs ate up more than half of their travel budget.

“The study indicates Australians aren’t always getting the most value out of their hotel stay and price savvy travellers are interested in shifting more towards a ‘pay for what you use’ model,” says Braden Yuill, Managing Director of CheapHotels.com.au. “Paying for a hotel by the hour used to conjure up images of sleazy rooms used for a romantic

rendezvous however, the trend is catching on around the world with a growing number of premium boutique hotels using a flexible pricing model as a point of difference and a way to build good will with travellers.

“Offering more flexible pricing options for guests who’ve arrived on a late flight or who only need a place to crash for a few hours could help develop a new income stream for the hotel industry here in Australia.”

Cheaphotels.com.au is a leading online hotel booking site offering the best prices on over 100,000 hotels worldwide with up to 75% off regular room rates. Cheaphotels.com.au never charge booking, cancellation or change fees. n

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

they took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

we had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

as infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tyres and sometimes no brakes.

Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

we drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

we shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

we ate cupcakes made with lard, white bread, real butter and bacon. we drank FlaV- OR- aID made with real white sugar. and, we weren't overweight. wHY?

Because we were always outside playing....that's why!

we would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on... no one was able to reach us all day. and, we were OkaY.

we would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. after running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem

we did not have Playstations, nintendos and X-boxes. there were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVDs, no surround-sound or cDs, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.

we HaD FRIenDs and we went outside and found them!

we fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. we would get spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping pong paddles, or just a bare hand and no one would call child services to report abuse.

we ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

we were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.

we rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

little league had tryouts and not everyone made the team. those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

the idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. they actually sided with the law!

these generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

the past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. what can kids today do besides push buttons?

we had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

sOLuTIONs

read what he said American stand-up comedian and television host, Jay Leno recently gave these words of wisdom... and we love them!

To all the kids who survived the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s!!

If yOu are one of them, CONGRATuLATIONs!

Your favourite destination is closer than you think...



TaLk baCk with

OCCuPATION: singer, lover, Dad.

FAvOuRITE TRAvEL DESTINATION: I took my wife Robby to Broome, wa for our honeymoon back in 1999 and we’ve just come back from another visit to that magnificent part of australia. we always pack an esky, a beach umbrella and hire a landcruiser to get around up there. Of all the places I have been and things I’ve done, spending time in the sun at cable Beach, swimming, having a few drinks and staying on to watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean ranks top of the list. a visit to the famous Paspaley Pearls showroom can be dangerous, but ensures that most blokes who buy these magnificent pearls for their loved one, receive enough “get out of jail for free cards“ to last a year or two.

WHAT DO YOu NeVeR TRAVeL WITHOuT: Here are “some” of the items on my pre departure checklist. My hat, iPod, etymotic eR6 earphones, running shoes, heart-rate monitor and gym clothes. Vitamins, protein powder, sports supplements, Maui Jim wrap around sunglasses, phone chargers and a good book. I’m always red lining when it comes to excess baggage but it pays to be prepared.

TRAVeL TIP: when travelling overseas, always buy lots of stuff. How hard it is to get back home and think about all the things you wished you’d bought but left behind?

MOsT eMBARRAssING TRAVeL MOMeNT: well it involves a long flight to la, becoming a member of a “certain” club and the cabin crew bringing out a bottle of complimentary champagne to celebrate the special occasion… how did they know!!?

WHAT’S COMING uP FOR yOu NEXT: this year we’ll be out on the road with the Pubs clubs and carparks tour. I also have a lot of song writing planned and head back into the studio in september to record a new album.
