Newcastle - Surprising!

I was recently able to go and check out Newcastle for a client's event which is coming up for 2011 - and I was surprised!  I had never been there before, and I was picturing an industrial place with steel mills and coal mining - which I guess it is - but the day I was there the weather was glorious, and the water was sparkling, and I have to say that it wasn't at all what I was expecting.

Sandstorm - Beach volleyball venue in Brisbane

I had the opportunity a little while ago to check out Sandstorm - the Beach Volleyball (and other sports) venue at QEII stadium. How cool is that?? You could do some serious themed beach parties there. And some great teambuilding. Beach Volleyball. Beach Cricket. Touch. Netball. You can play them all here.

Beautiful Tassie

I'm in Hobart currently with the Tasmanian Convention Bureau with a whole lot of other people involved in conferencing - on a "famil" (no, that doesn't mean "junket" it means "look at every possible place in Tassie that you could use for conferencing in under 48 hours"). I've never been to Tassie before - it is beautiful. It's like everywhere you look is like one of those jigsaw puzzle kind of scenes before you.
