EXPLORING AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALANDFebruary 28-March 21, 2018

Dear TCU Alumni, Parents, and Friends,

Australia and New Zealand offer visitors a wealth of spectacular natural scenery and cultural diversity – from the Great Barrier Reef to the historic Sydney Opera House to breathtaking Milford Sound.

Your 22-day journey begins in Australia’s Far North – Cairns – with a day-long excursion to the Great Barrier Reef. Fly to Alice Springs where you embark on an Aboriginal “dreamtime” tour and watch the sun set over fabled Ayers Rock. Enjoy a three-night stay in cosmopolitan Sydney; touring of Christchurch, New Zealand; and a two-night stay in New Zealand’s remarkable Mt. Cook National Park. You will cruise stunning Milford Sound and explore New Zealand’s “adventure capital,” Queenstown. Experience Maori culture in geothermal Rotorua before concluding your tour in Auckland, where you visit Auckland Harbour, the America’s Cup Village, and the War Memorial Museum. Extend your stay here in the “City of Sails” with an optional 3-day/2-night post-tour extension.

Space on this exclusive TCU departure is limited to a total of just 24 guests and will fill quickly. We encourage you to reserve your place quickly.

Frog for Life,

Kristi McLain Hoban ’75 ’76 Associate Vice Chancellor, University Advancement Phone: 817-257-5427 k.hoban@tcu.edu
