Once in a lifetime opportunity! A night of nights! Grand entertainment!  Fabulous! An amazing tour - everything was perfect!
 
The accolades pour in.
 
What made it so special?  It could have been the dynamics of the amazing group of 37 strangers - soon to be friends.  It could have been the crew - villa’s dynamic owner Margaret, tour leader Dee and local driver Henry (affectionately renamed Henri!)
 
It could have been the A list of local sightseeing, great hotel accommodation with the wonderful warm attentions of the staff at Rendezvous.  It could have been the temperate weather and ease of getting around beautiful Melbourne specially dressed for Chinese New Year.
 
Or perhaps it was simply the magic of a replica Edinburgh Castle, bedazzled and bejewelled with colour lights and the BIG sound of military bands and pipers en mass.
 
Somehow the synchronicity just worked and the magic unfolded.
 
Two birthdays  were celebrated in style, and a raucous but emotional singing on the way to the airport of the stirring Seekers song  ‘I am Australian’.
 
Did I say I love my work?  To see the smiles, the tear in the corner of an eye, and to share the moment.
