A Journey Down Under - Summer 2017
"Down Under" on the other side of the globe, the people of Australia and New Zealand have much to boast about including exotic wildlife, a land of natural beauty, and fascinating indigenous cultures. Now you have the opportunity to experience all of this and more - including the Hobbiton movie set, dancing the haka in an authentic Maori village, and cuddling with a koala bear and feeding kangaroos at the Night Zoo. You will also have the opportunity to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, surf at Manly Beach, and shop at Sydney Harbor. Moreover, you'll make lasting friendships as we visit our Catholic sister school, Emmaus College, in beautiful Melbourne. Plan on being warmly welcomed by an Emmaus host family who will share adventures with you in their special city. This and much, much more awaits you on this fantastic 18-day adventure of a lifetime.
To see more details about this exciting and educational experience, visit the
website. Chaperones for this trip include Ms. Burns, Ms. Gurnard, and Mr. Wright in conjunction with EF Tours. For information, contact
