• Tahune Air Walk and EagleGlide, Tas

• Lakes Entrance, Vic• Lillianfels Cooking, NSW• Rovos Rail, South Africa• North Star Holiday Park, NSW• Udaipur, India• Island Climbing, Hong Kong

MEANWHILE Travel Indochinasays the India segment on the showis the third of 4 stories filmed withits help last year. This time it’s in Udaipur inRajasthan, and TI said it wouldpromote its 20-day ‘India Insight’Small Group Journey with the show.

TRAVELSCENE Limitedshareholders have unanimouslyapproved changes to the firm’sconstitution necessitated by thecurrent takeover bid from S8 Ltd. The positive result seen yesterdayat a Travelscene general meetingwas necessary to remove shareownership restrictions and allow forthe consideration of off-market bidsby the firm. S8 is now able to distribute bidmaterial to TSAX shareholdersasking them to vote to accept themerger, and the firm’s offer will bea combination of cash and scripwhich values Travelscene at approx$67 million. There’s also a $3m ‘special

dividend’ as part of the offer to helpsweeten the deal. Travelscene Amex md Bob Steel,who stands to reap a personalwindfall of almost $30m in cashand shares from the merger, said heis “extremely confident” thatmembers and shareholders ofTravelscene will embrace the offer. “The merger of these two majortravel players will createunparalleled opportunities for bothour companies in the Australianmarketplace,” he said.

S8 merger moves forwardA CRACK team of police inGermany is investigating the theftof an entire roller coaster valued atabout $40,000. The amusement park ride wasstolen off the back of a truckwhich was on its way to deliver itto a fun fair near Bischofsheim. An officer said it was the firsttime he’d ever heard of such atheft and appealed to the publicfor help, saying “The last thing wewant is for amateurs to try puttingit together,” he said.

CBR flights of fancy SINGAPORE Airlines andQantas have both confirmed theyhave no plans to launch flightsbetween Canberra and Singapore. Australian Capital Tourism andCanberra Int’l Airport commissionedan Access Economics study whichconcluded possible demand ofbetween 700 and 1200 pax weekly. The research matched Singaporearrivals data with traveller postcodes. There haven’t been any scheduledinternational flights from Canberrasince a brief foray of services to Fijiby Air Pacific a couple of yearsago, which were quietly withdrawndue to insufficient demand.

Qantas off the buses QANTAS has announced that thearrangement in Western Australiaunder which buses between TomPrice and Paraburdoo operate underQantas flight numbers will cease. From 04 Jun passengers whorequire the bus service shouldcontact the operator Lestok Pty Ltdon 08 9189 2032 for reservations.

NCL revenue up 17% STAR Cruises subsidiary NCLGroup has reported first quarterturnover increased by 17.4% mostlydue to higher onboard spending. However operating expenses alsoincreased, by 11.5%, with a bigjump in payroll costs due to moreUS crew used on Hawaiian routes.

INDIAN Airlines has warned itsflight attendants they need to loseweight or face being grounded. The airline has shed its 2.4kg“weight grace” and said it will nowground cabin crew members ifthey are found to weigh more thantheir ideal weight by even 0.8kg. One spokesperson said over-weight crew would be taken offtheir flight duties and given 45days to shape up. “We are part of the serviceindustry and we have to be morepresentable,” he said.

THIS probably won’t help his case. A man known as the “nakedrambler” who’s had severalbrushes with the law already fornudity was arrested yesterday aftershedding his clothes on a flight. Stephen Gough was enroute toEdinburgh from London, for acourt hearing in which he waschallenging four contempt of courtcitations for nudity in Scotland. The 47 year old was arrested atEdinburgh airport with his lawyerstrying to persuade him that he was‘doing himself no good’ bycontinuing to go naked. “There is no law saying ‘Thoushalt not go naked’” Gough said, “All I am doing is dressing howI want to dress and believing whatI want to believe.”

Entries close on 31 May, with thewinner to be announced 01 Jun. Craig’s entry is below; Many moons ago, whilst living inLondon, I joined in the New Year’sEve celebration at Trafalgar Square. All forms of transport ceasedprior to midnight, including cabs. Having been parted from otherfriends, Sandy & I headed off at1am, on foot, towards our flat inEarl’s Court. Sandy broke a heel on the way,so ended up walking barefoot onwhat appeared to be a relativelydirect route. An hour later, we found ourselveswandering some very dark & lonelystreets & very lost.

Another hour passed before wefinally spotted a human figure,under a lamppost. We approached and, feeling likecomplete idiots, asked fordirections to Earl’s Court. “Hello,how are you?”, was the response. “Fine thanks but lost” I replied. Then he said “You don’tremember me, do you? You’reCraig Contencin & went toHutchins School in Hobart”. Turned out that he had been 2years ahead of me at school. More amazing was that Rob wasactually with his sister Pippa whohad come across to London for avisit and she had been in my Year1-2 class, at primary school, & Ihad never seen her since! After reminiscing, receivingdirections & another hourtraipsing the back-blocks, wefinally reached our sanctuary, 3hours after we had set off! Looking at a map later, werealised that we had wanderedmiles off track. Next time, I will have my GPS!
