REGARDING OUR BROCHURES: Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they incorporate the basis upon which bookings are accepted by Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays (‘Infinity Holidays’, ‘we’ or ‘us’).

BROCHURE: This brochure was submitted for print on 21 January 2010. While Infinity Holidays has exercised reasonable care and skill to ensure that the contents of this brochure are correct, accurate and up-to-date at the time of printing. Please note that the contents of this brochure are based on information supplied to us by third-party suppliers and we do not have, and cannot be reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge about all of the facilities or services provided by each supplier; and facilities or services may change after the date of printing. Prior to making a booking, you should ask your travel consultant about any changes to the published information of which we may be aware. You should also make sure that if we are advised of changes that occur after booking, we can contact you.

PRICES: The prices in this brochure are valid for travel from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. Please note that prices quoted here are subject to change. This may occur due to matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Please contact your travel consultant for up-to-date prices. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply as at 17 December 2009 but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are in Australian dollars and are valid for travel departing Australia (unless otherwise stated).

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package. Also, make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the service providers, some of which may limit or exclude liability in respect to death, personal injury, delay and loss or damage to baggage. Infinity Holidays has no responsibility for the products or services provided by these service providers, nor does it make or give any warranty or representation regarding the standard of those products or services. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions, and limitations of liability imposed by those service providers. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Infinity Holidays. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not with Infinity Holidays.

LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third-party providers over whom we have no direct control, and for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury and loss or damage to property of whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection to the offer or supply of products or services through Infinity Holidays or any third parties, or in connection with the supply of such products or services. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event that is beyond our control, which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder; some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents prior to travel.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade for all overseas travel. Your travel consultant can provide information to you about travel insurance. For details of the services they provide, including a quote, please refer to their Financial Services Guide.

PASSPORTS & VISAS: It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits that meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least six months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip, please ask your travel consultant.

TRAVEL ADVICE: Infinity Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. For travel advice, please contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at <www.smartraveller.gov.au>.

HEALTH: It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

TAXES: Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice. All prices and charges in this brochure include Australian GST where applicable.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS: A non-refundable deposit of $165 per person for international bookings and $55 per person for domestic bookings is payable within seven days of confirmation of your reservation. You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable. Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If for any reason we do not receive the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued. Without limitation, the following cancellation fees will apply as a minimum and are subject to change – International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable.

AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.

REFUNDS: To the extent permitted by law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted.

NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.

MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS: The prices shown are for payment by cash. A credit card surcharge will apply when paying by credit card.

PRIVACY POLICY: Infinity Holidays is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available for viewing at <www.flightcentre.com.au>, or ask your travel consultant for details.

BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements.

PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of Infinity Holidays. All communications from us will be sent to your travel consultant. Your travel consultant will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel consultant to Infinity Holidays.

MONIES NOT HELD ON TRUST: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Infinity Holidays and will be a debt due and payable to the relevant supplier (contingent on availing) once the services to which the money relates have been availed or the relevant booking is cancelled (subject to cancellation fees). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by Infinity Holidays on trust for or on behalf of you.

Infinity Holidays New Zealand 2010 :11

A long-time favourite holiday destination for Australians, New Zealand offers awe-inspiring landscapes, incredible wildlife, verdant rainforests, intriguing culture and a year-round pleasant climate, making it the perfect place for active outdoor adventures and a haven for relaxation. You will also be impressed by the friendliness of the local people. One of the best things about New Zealand is that all of this great stuff is so close together! Let us take you there, from north to south.

North IslandThe beautiful North Island is rich in Maori (indigenous peoples) culture, sweeping coastlines, volcanic landscapes, unique geothermal activity and cosmopolitan cities. read on for some highlights.

Bay of IslandsWith close to 150 beautiful islands and coves to explore, the beautiful Bay of Islands is the perfect escape for water lovers. Steer your own yacht, paddle a canoe, jet across the harbour in a speedboat or swim with the dolphins in Paihia – the choice is yours. enjoy a cultural experience in the Waitangi National reserve with a visit to a traditional marae (meeting house) and Treaty House. Or take a day trip out to beautiful Cape reinga and the spectacular sand dunes of Ninety Mile Beach.

Auckland Auckland beckons with a myriad of holiday sights and sounds. Here, the melding of Maori, Pacific Island, european, African and Asian cultures create a distinctive lifestyle, cuisine and range of attractions. Visit beautiful Mission Bay or take in many of the adrenalin-pumping activities available in the city, such as the bridge climb and sky jump. enjoy world-class shopping, dining and entertainment, and above all else, take to the waters. This maritime city enfolds two spectacular harbours where the waters are regularly dotted with the blowing sails of thousands of sea vessels.

RotoruaWithout doubt one of the North Island’s must-see highlights, rotorua is home to a geothermal wonderland – around 500 boiling mud pools and 65 geyser vents, each with their own name. Seven of the geysers are active, the most well known being Pohutu geyser. The Te Puia Maori cultural expo at Whakarewarewa is perfect for getting acquainted with the Maori culture.

Wellington New Zealand’s capital is diverse and eclectic and offers the country’s most interesting ‘city’ scene. If you love to eat out, this is the place for you: Wellington has more cafes per head than New York, with more than 400 dotted around the city! Once you’re done eating, visit the city’s main attraction, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, for an excellent insight into the Maori culture. ride the Wellington Cable Car after a great day’s shopping at Lambton Quay.

South IslandNature lovers read on, for the South Island is a land of vast mountain chains, wild and rugged coastlines, lush rainforests and deeply indented fiords.

Top of the South Island Get set for a gourmet experience at the food and wine capital of New Zealand. Some of the finest wines of New Zealand come from Marlborough, award-winning drops that are showcased at the annual food and wine festival. You can also find delicious fresh seafood here, with some 900 million mussels growing out in the waters! Take a slow cruise in a kayak, or go dolphin spotting in Marlborough Sounds. On land, venture along the beautiful Abel Tasman Coastal Track or take the 58 kilometre Queen Charlotte Track.

ChristchurchThe main city in the South Island is the very english Christchurch. enjoy parks and gardens that earn the city the title of ‘Garden City’, ride a punt along the Avon river and wander tree-lined avenues dotted with heritage buildings. Highlight attractions of the city include the International Antarctic Centre, the historic tram and the Arts Centre. From Christchurch you can take in the beauty of the Canterbury Plains or visit Kaikoura, renowned for its year-round whale watching opportunities.

Aoraki/Mount Cook & Wanaka Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park in the Southern Alps is home to the country’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook and wonderful hiking opportunities. Lovely Wanaka is popular in winter for its superb ski fields, while in summer it offers all the outdoor adventures of Mount Aspiring National Park.

West Coast One of New Zealand’s most nature-rich regions, the West Coast is home to World Heritage Park area in the south – the world’s only example of pre-dinosaur forest – and the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. Take the TranzAlpine train or do a self-drive across the constantly changing elemental landscape of Arthur’s Pass from Greymouth to Christchurch.

QueenstownStunning alpine scenery and adrenalin-pumping activities: see for yourself why so many people come back here again and again. Start with a bungy jump at Kawarau Bridge (43 metres) or the 102 metre Pipeline jump (the equivalent of a 34 storey building!). Get the blood pumping with skydiving, whitewater rafting, hot-air ballooning, hang gliding and more, or go jet boating through the dart river valley, the setting for Isengard in the Lord of the Rings. The Fiordland National Park is a must: cruise on Milford Sound or set out on renowned hikes, such as the Milford and Hollyford tracks.

The smaller of the two islands, the North Island is a land of volcanic landscapes, vast forests, picturesque lakes and boutique vineyards. It is also home to New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland, and the capital city, Wellington, ensuring a wealth of urban attractions for its visitor. All of this, coupled with a warm sub tropical climate, ensures the North Island will delight its visitors.

History & cultureAround 400 years after New Zealand was first discovered by the Maori, they returned in seven great wakas (canoes) and set about populating the North Island. rich in Maori culture, the North Island offers several excellent opportunities for culturally enriching your holiday. Not to be missed is the Te Puia cultural exhibition at Whakarewarewa in the rotorua region, the bastion of Maori tradition and skills of old.

Natural wondersThe North has some of New Zealand’s most unique natural wonders, including the geothermal wonder of rotorua, the longest stretch of beach in the

country (Ninety Mile Beach), the enormous volcanic Lake Taupo, as well as the gorgeous Bay of Islands and the volcanic island of rangitoto near Auckland. The beauty of the region is well regarded; testament to this is the fact that much of the land was used as the setting for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Outdoor adventuresAll this exquisite nature calls for some serious outdoor adventures. enjoy all the thrills of canyoning and blackwater rafting in Waitomo, or go zorbing near rotorua, hike through national parks, go quad biking or jet boating and race down the immense sand dunes of Ninety Mile Beach.

Sea kayak along the beaches of the Coromandel Peninsula, swim with dolphins or sail a yacht in the Bay of Islands, and then be thrilled by the Skyjump at Sky Tower. In winter, ski New Zealand’s largest ski area at 1800 hectares – Whakapapa and Turoa on Mount ruapehu, New Zealand’s largest active volcano.

Dining The quality of restaurants in New Zealand is typically superb, the portions are respectable and, with the current value of the New Zealand dollar, offer wonderful value for money.

A host of dining options are available in Auckland, from the lively and popular eateries of High Street in the CBd, tables with a view at fine- dining restaurants at Princes Wharf, fashionable restaurants at Ponsonby and the stylish cafes of Parnell and Mission Bay.

Wellington is especially noted for dining out: with around 400 cafes and restaurants, the city has more places to eat and drink per head than

New York! Be sure to visit the pubs, clubs and restaurants of Courtenay Place and the streets and alleys that come off it. Cuba Street is also worth exploring, offering the alternative and eccentric side to the city.

The North Island also enjoys a burgeoning winemaking industry. Venture to Martinborough during November’s food and wine festival or head to Hawke’s Bay to sample some of the region’s renowned wines.

ShoppingWellington offers some of New Zealand’s best and most affordable shopping, boasting an eclectic mix of fashion stores, shopping centres and alternative boutiques. Visit the Parnell Street and Village or Wellington High Street. Or stop by the interconnected maze of malls along Lambton Quay, but be warned – it could be dangerous to your credit card.

In Auckland, appreciators of art and antiques should take the ferry across the harbour to devonport, an historic maritime village known for its heritage charm.

A trip to the local markets is highly recommended. Visit the renowned Otara markets in South Auckland, as well as the Friday and Saturday large open space between the Aotea Centre and the Town Hall and Saturday’s Karangahape road Street Market, which sells mostly clothes, second-hand and new. In Wellington, stop in at the Waikanae Market Gardens, the Otara markets and the Victoria Park Market.

Shop at the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute in rotorua for the best in handmade traditional Maori carvings and weavings.

Abseil down a 100 metre cliff into a subterranean canyon system for an underground action-packed adventure of a lifetime.

2. Get a thrill in Auckland

do the Vertigo Climb at the Sky Tower, then jump off the Auckland Bridge (attached to something, of course!). If you’d prefer not to jump from the bridge, you can choose to walk it with the Auckland Bridge Climb.

3. enjoy New Zealand’s cultural heart

Legend has it that Te Pupu and Te Hoata, the goddesses of fire, emerged from the core of the earth, inhaling and exhaling, creating the more than 65 geysers and 500 hot springs and mud pools of rotorua. This is also the place to enjoy an authentic Maori cultural performance and traditional feast.

4. drop in for a drop at the wineries

New Zealand’s climate is perfectly suited for fine wine growing, particularly along the east coast of the North Island. Sample the wares of famous wineries, such as those in Hawke’s Bay on the east coast and Martinborough outside of Wellington in the south.

5. explore Te Papa museum

Spend a few hours learning about New Zealand and Maori culture at Wellington’s excellent museum and marae, an impressive blend of culture and architectural splendour.

6. discover Lake Taupo

Created by a volcanic eruption almost 2000 years ago, New Zealand’s largest freshwater lake is about the size of Singapore and offers a range of adventure activities, from fishing for rainbow trout and kayaking past towering cliffs, to mountain biking and hiking.

7. Visit Mission Bay

Just 10 minutes from Auckland city, this lovely beach offers an authentic Auckland experience. rollerblade along the foreshore, enjoy some of the region’s best restaurants on Tamaki drive or grab takeaway and a bottle of wine and take in the views from the sea wall.

8. Be the first to see the sunrise

Take in the stunning sunrise from the east Cape Lighthouse at Te Araroa, the easternmost place in New Zealand. The historic lighthouse stands at 154 metres and you have to walk 700 steps to reach it – but the view is worth it!

9. Visit the Coromandel Peninsula

Kayak from Whitianga to the pretty white sands of Cathedral Cove. Further south, dig your own thermal spa in the sand at Hot Water Beach, south of Hahei where, for two hours either side of low tide, hot springs bubble up through the sand – the legacy of the region’s volcanic past.

10. Swim with dolphins

One of the most famous and fantastic activities of the beautiful Bay of Islands is to swim with the local dolphins in Paihia.

Bay of Islands Top 5 things to doBack in 1769, Captain James Cook extensively charted both the North and South islands and

gave the Bay of Islands its name. renowned for its scenic beauty, subtropical climate, fishing and boating, the Bay of Islands is one of the nation’s most popular holiday locations.

Historically, the area is very important also, as it is officially where the Treaty of Waitangi, the nation’s founding document, was signed by an assembly of Maori leaders and the British Crown in 1840. In the Waitangi National reserve you can visit the Treaty House, a beautiful Maori meeting house, and a Maori waka (war canoe).

The region’s capital is Paihia, a great place to swim with wild dolphins, or perhaps even a whale if you’re lucky. Take a leisurely harbour cruise or zoom across the water in a giant speedboat. Keen sailors are well looked after here, with 144 islands and secluded bays to explore. Abundant big-game and light-tackle fishing is one of the region’s biggest attractions.

Across the bay from Paihia is russell, where you can visit the Captain Cook Museum or Christ Church, complete with bullet holes made by Maori warrior chiefs 150 years ago. Or take a day trip to Cape reinga and Ninety Mile Beach in the upper North Island.

A jewel in New Zealand’s crown

1. Take a harbour speedboat ride

A fun and popular way to traverse the harbour is on a giant speedboat.

2. Swim with the dolphins

3. Island-hop on a yacht

Auckland Bridge Bungy

Auckland is home to the world’s first harbour bridge bungy jump. As part of the bungy experience, you will enjoy an exclusive bridge walk out to the specially constructed and sensationally suspended retro ‘bungy pod’. It is here that you will build up the courage to leap out over the Waitemata Harbour. Once airborne, take time to enjoy the views of the harbour, that is if you can keep your eyes open long enough. There are a variety of bungy options available, with the optional ‘water touch’ being the favourite.

AucklandAuckland is the complete holiday destination. This vibrant and cosmopolitan city offers all the comforts of modern urban life and a myriad of recreational pursuits, from beaches and rainforest to wineries, shopping, restaurants and a great nightlife. The city is a melting pot of races and cultures, predominantly British but with strong Maori overtones and the added influences of peoples of the Pacific, the dutch, Chinese, Indian, Greek, African and many more. All this is good news for the palate, as the cultural melange has helped to create a very distinctive style of New Zealand cuisine.

The locals here are, quite simply, crazy for boats. Known as the ‘City of Sails’, Auckland offers up the stunning Waitemata Harbour and Hauraki Gulf, providing some of the most spectacular sailing and boating waters in the world. On a summer’s day you’ll be dazzled by the glitter of white sails in the sun.

Auckland also offers a great selection of city attractions. enjoy 360 degree views on the Bridge Climb, walk the glass floor at dizzying heights at the Sky Tower, sky jump from the bridge, and take the children to the zoo. enjoy local art at the Auckland Art Gallery, shop for quality local designer clothing, catch a game of rugby, take a tour to a local winery or do a day tour to the Waitomo Caves or rotorua. The choices are endless.

Rotorua Top 5 things to doOne of the country’s most famous tourist locations, rotorua is a surreal volcanic landscape of

spurting geysers, natural hot springs and mud pools. The natural thermal attributes of rotorua make it the perfect place to completely spoil yourself, with a wide range of day spas, therapeutic mineral pools, mud baths and rejuvenating beauty treatments.

rotorua is also known as the heartland of the Maori culture. don’t miss Te Puia at Whakarewarewa, the pre-eminent Maori cultural expo in the country. Visit an authentic Maori village and marae and purchase local arts and crafts at the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute where, for around 40 years, students from tribes across the country have come to learn carving and weaving traditions. This is also a great place to feast on traditional hangi (earth oven or cooking pit) cuisine and enjoy the vibrancy of traditional song and dance performances.

The adventure seeker is also well looked after in rotorua. Try the unique Kiwi adventure of zorbing, where you’re strapped inside an enormous clear plastic ball, then pushed down a long grass-covered slope! Or stick to the norms and go jet boating, sky diving, rafting, kayaking and mountain biking. Take the Skyline Skyride up a mountain, then ride the luge all the way down. enjoy the sheep show at the Agrodome or do some world-class trout fishing at nearby lakes and rivers.

The larger of the two islands, the South Island is home to such famous icons as Milford Sound, the West Coast glaciers, Aoraki/Mount Cook – the country’s highest peak, beautiful Christchurch and adventure playground Queenstown. For nature and adventure lovers alike, this is the place to be.

History & cultureThe South Island was originally named ‘Te Waka a Maui’ (Maui’s canoe) by the Maori as, according to legend, the South Island was the canoe that Maui used to fish the North Island out of the sea. Interestingly, however, the South Island has never been the main location of the Maori population.

In the early stages of settlement in New Zealand, gold rushes meant that the South Island was more populated than the north by europeans. In the early 20th century, the population of the North Island started to overtake the south.

Natural wondersLovers of nature won’t know where to go first on the South Island, renowned the world over for its spectacular natural beauty. From the stunning stretch of coastline in Abel Tasman National Park, dazzling turquoise Southern Lakes and the wild landscapes of the West Coast, to the deep fiords, cascading waterfalls and spectacular wildlife of the Fiordland, the South Island is simply breathtaking.

Keep your eyes peeled for New Zealand’s unique birdlife, including the only true alpine parrot, the kea, which has a healthy appetite for windscreen rubber and other detachable car parts! There are 76 species of whales and dolphins in the world, and New Zealand is lucky enough to be home to a whopping 35 of these. Kaikoura is particularly blessed, with nearly half of that number of whales and dolphins spotted off its shores.

Outdoor adventuresThe South Island is renowned as a natural theme park, in particular Queenstown – not known as the ‘adventure capital of the world’ for nothing! Scream with delight as you weave through the canals on a thumping jet boat ride, leap from a bridge on a bungy jump, get the best views around on a tandem skydive, go whitewater rafting, hang gliding, parasailing and more.

Other outdoor pursuits on the South Island include glacier hiking, caving, canyoning, climbing, abseiling and off-road four-wheel driving in Wanaka. Venture out to deserted bays, beaches and islands by kayak in the famous Abel Tasman National Park. Then take a cruise and swim with the seals on Milford or doubtful

sounds, or challenge yourself to the famous Milford, routeburn and Hollyford tracks.

DiningOn the South Island you can expect a culinary adventure at every turn. While in Marlborough, be sure to sample the region’s world-class wines and gourmet delicacies. Further south, stop for the famous Kaikoura crayfish, ready cooked and bought from fisherman on the side of the road.

Christchurch is filled with dining options, from food courts to fine dining. don’t miss a meal in the Christchurch Tramway restaurant, combining great cuisine with a trip down memory lane.

There are more than 150 places to grab a feed in Queenstown, but don’t leave without visiting the Cow in Cane Lane, an institution that serves up delicious hand-rolled pizzas and wonderful spaghetti dishes.

ShoppingChristchurch is a shopper’s dream, with an international selection of stores and services and no big-city parking hassles! enjoy the specialty shops and craft studios in the Arts Centre, buy the latest in fashion in High Street or City Mall, or grab your All Blacks souvenirs at Champions of the World in Worcester Street.

In Queenstown you’ll find international labels sitting alongside locally run boutiques. And this is the place to buy traditional wool and sheepskin products, as well as pounamu (greenstone) jewellery and carvings. You’ll also find a great range of adventure outfitting stores, surprisingly enough!

ˇ Heading hereMount cook & Mount TasmanSouth Island

ˇ Discover an extraordinary landscape

knowˇ Get in the know ...While in Wanaka, pop into the curious Cinema Paradiso, a very casual movie experience where you can choose to sit on old living-room-style sofas or in the front seats of a Morris Minor car! Grab a meal and glass of wine, or savour some homemade ice cream and cookies during intermission. Hot tip: arrive early to book the best couch!

Top of the South IslandStunning national parks and beaches, world-class vineyards and gourmet specialties, a vibrant arts and crafts community and the sunniest climate in NZ: head for the Top of the South Island.

At the very top is the Nelson region, offering a gorgeous Mediterranean climate provided by sheltering mountain ranges. Year-round sunshine, golden beaches and national parks offer an inspiring background for the local community of working artisans, and a playground for outdoor activities that range from rock climbing to quad biking.

Nelson is the jumping-off point for three national parks, including Abel Tasman, New Zealand’s smallest, renowned for its sea kayaking adventures along the country’s most picturesque coastline.

Picton is the gateway to the Marlborough region, New Zealand’s largest grape-growing region and producer of international award-winning wines. Visit during the annual Marlborough Food and Wine Festival for great entertainment and the region’s best produce. You can also discover the Marlborough Sounds here, a labyrinth of coves and bays filled with wildlife, such as terns, shags, blue penguins, dolphins and seals. While here, trek or mountain bike along the lush coastal forest along the renowned Queen Charlotte Track.

Christchurch Top 5 things to doNew Zealand’s second-largest city, Christchurch is vibrant and cosmopolitan, offering an excellent

range of theatres, contemporary art galleries, heritage buildings, great shopping, exciting festivals and award-winning attractions.

Christchurch was settled by a cross-section of the english class and is known as ‘the Garden City’ due to its award-winning expanse of parks and gardens. Hire a bike and pedal through Hagley Park for a lovely day out. Take a leisurely punt ride down the pretty Avon river, then back on the bike and up to Summit road for panoramic city views. Take a city stroll to admire the greystone 19th century buildings and tree-lined avenues that take you back to the charm of an earlier era.

Visit the Gothic revival cathedral, the Christchurch Gondola, the Canterbury Museum and the historic city-loop tram. And don’t miss the International Antarctic Visitor Centre, showcasing the grandeur of the Antarctic through sound and light shows, interactive exhibits and audio-visuals.

From here you can easily explore the surrounding natural attractions and activities of the region. For some French je ne sais quoi, drive out to Akaroa, about two hours away, or soak in the thermal pools of Hanmer Springs.

QueenstownNestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Wakatipu with stunning mountain views, Queenstown is NZ’s most popular resort town. It is also considered by many to be the ‘adventure capital of the world’, offering more adrenalin-pumping activities than you can poke a parachute at. Go skydiving, river surfing, whitewater rafting and jet boating, or ride a mountain luge, swing through a canyon and take a heli-flight. Leap from the Kawarau Bridge on the world’s first-ever bungy, or hit the winter wonderland ski slopes of Coronet Peak and The remarkables, with a slope to suit everyone.

More sedate activities include walking, golf, fishing, wine tours and gondola rides. Or take a cruise on the vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw and visit the animals on Walter Peak Station, a high- country sheep farm. Once you’ve ticked off all Queenstown’s adventures, enjoy some excellent shopping for local products, followed by a fun night out at a range of restaurants, bars and clubs.

The nearby Fiordland is one of the most dramatically beautiful parts of the country. Home to world-famous Milford and doubtful sounds, the Fiordland National Park holds World Heritage status, boasting ancient rainforest, tumbling waterfalls, shimmering lakes and granite peaks that can be explored on foot, from a kayak, on a fiord cruise or scenic flight. Look out for resident bottlenose dolphins, fur seals and penguins, and discover some of the best hikes in the world.

Two of the Pacific Ocean’s most naturally beautiful islands, Norfolk and Lord Howe, are subtropical paradises only a couple of hours flight from the east coast of Australia. Families and couples, get ready for the perfect escape …

History & cultureTiny, isolated Norfolk Island has had an eventful history. discovered by Captain James Cook in 1774, the island was settled by the British in 1788, its pine trees were used for ships’ masts. In 1825 it was settled again, this time as a prison that earned itself a reputation for brutality. The third settlement arrived in 1856, Pitcairn Islanders – many of whom were direct descendants of the original mutineers of HMS Bounty. roughly one-third of Norfolk Islanders today can claim mutineer descent. The islanders brought with them a new cultural dimension and helped create the island’s rare language – a lilting hybrid of Tahitian and Old english.

In 1788, Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Bell, commander of the First Fleet ship Supply, stumbled upon Lord Howe en route to Norfolk from Sydney. Three couples arrived from New Zealand in 1834 to become the first settlers on the island. Tourism came to the island around the turn of the 20th century. Today the island’s population numbers around 350 and only 400 visitors are allowed at any one time, ensuring the conservation of this pristine land is upheld.

Natural wondersNature lovers will be well pleased on both islands. Visit Norfolk Island National Park, and Botanic Gardens to see some of the 178 species of native plants, 40 of which are endemic. You certainly won’t miss the Norfolk Pine – they can grow up to 57 metres high with a circumference of up to 11 metres. The protected national park covers 20 percent of Norfolk’s area and offers some great walking tracks through subtropical rainforest. Norfolk Island also offers some delightful beaches. Anson Bay, the most secluded and nestled at the bottom of a cliff face, is well worth the trek for those looking for a bit of privacy. The sparkling waters of emily Bay will entice those wanting calm waters in which to swim and snorkel.

Lord Howe Island is so beautiful that it is one of only four island groups on the planet to be World Heritage listed. Two-thirds of the island is a permanent park preserve. Having evolved from submarine volcanic activity, the island offers a rare diversity of landscapes and habitats, and is Australia’s premier bird-watching destination, with more than 130 bird species – 14 of them seabirds that nest here in their thousands. Lord Howe is also home to over 200 native species of plants,

more than 70 of which are endemic to the island. The pristine surrounding waters were declared a marine park in 1998 and offer around 500 species of fish, as well as the world’s tallest sea stack, Ball’s Pyramid, 23 kilometres south.

DiningOn Norfolk, choose from around 35 different eateries, from fine dining to sporting clubs. enjoy an authentic experience by joining a progressive dinner where you dine in locals’ homes and savour the Tahitian influence at a fish fry. Try traditional fare, such as pilihai (baked kumera), mudda (green banana dumplings), hihi pie (made with periwinkles) and sweet island dessert pies.

On Lord Howe you’ll be treated to both home-style and modern cuisine at a range of eateries. Kingfish is the local specialty and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a restaurant that doesn’t include it on the menu. Have fresh fish delivered to your door, or buy your own at the Kingston Pier on Sunday afternoon, then pack a picnic and take advantage of the communal barbecues located around the island.

ShoppingNorfolk Island has become one of the leading tax-free shopping destinations, with retail prices up to 60 percent lower than the rest of Australia. Taylor road at Burnt Pine is a particularly good place to shop, offering everything from Scottish knitwear to French perfume and local handicrafts. The Sunday markets are perfect for souvenirs and seasonal produce.

Lord Howe offers a variety of small stores for all your essentials, as well as some good local places to shop for arts and crafts.

ˇ Heading here

Emily Bay, norfolk island

knowˇ Get in the know ...Get a bird’s-eye view of the birds on Lord Howe. From September to May, watch the red-tailed Tropic Bird dance in the air as it performs its courting ritual, or be amazed by countless shearwaters at dusk. Or perhaps have one of the world’s rarest birds, the Providence Petrel, land in your lap! The birds nest between March and November and can be ‘called’ out of the air, landing at your feet and even climbing into your lap!

Norfolk Island Top 5 things to doIsolated Norfolk Island is a subtropical paradise only eight kilometres long by five kilometres

wide, all the way out to sea 1500 kilometres from Brisbane. You really know you’re ‘away from it all’ on Norfolk, where cows have the right of way on roads and there are no traffic lights or house numbers!

For such a small and quiet island, there’s a lot to keep you occupied. Hit the sapphire waters on a diving, snorkelling, glass-bottom boat, fishing or kayaking trip. Or visit the national park and Botanic Gardens, where you can stroll under the world’s tallest tree ferns and enjoy horse riding, mountain biking and trekking through subtropical rainforest that gives you an idea of how the entire island once looked. Savour the local cuisine at a traditional fish fry, or join in a progressive dinner with locals in their island homes.

An external Territory of Australia, Norfolk tells an intriguing story of heritage and history linked with early penal settlements and descendants of Fletcher Christian and other mutineers of the Bounty. enjoy a variety of tours and shows, many run by Bounty descendants, to learn more about the island’s fascinating story. And be sure to have the locals teach you a few phrases in their 18th century rare island sing-song language … finishing with ‘Yorle kam baek suun’.

Lord Howe Island Top 5 things to doThe ultimate in magical escapes, Lord Howe Island is an extinct volcano in the Tasman Sea less than

two hours flight from Sydney or Brisbane. enjoy the laid-back feel that comes with being one of only 400 guests on the island sharing with just 350 permanent residents, with hardly any cars and no mobile phone reception, all the while surrounded by natural beauty so outstanding it was World Heritage listed in 1982.

Lord Howe’s isolation from any large land mass guarantees some of the world’s most unpolluted oceans and beaches: in fact, Ned’s Beach (where you can hand-feed metre-long kingfish), was declared ‘Australia’s Cleanest Beach’ in 2004.

Wander in from the golden sands of an uncrowded beach and snorkel or dive the world’s most southerly coral reef, which fringes the west side of the island for six kilometres and encloses a stunning crystal lagoon. Or look above to the 130-odd species of bird, including 14 sea birds, which make the island the country’s premier bird watching destination. The island’s isolation saw the evolution of a high proportion of endemic species of flora and fauna … and bushwalkers need not worry about snakes, sand flies or stinging plants! Take to the island’s network of walking trails, ranging from an easy stroll to the challenging Mount Gower guided walk, renowned as one of the world’s best day treks. Follow-up with an indulgent spa treatment to ease those weary muscles.

Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Please contact your travel consultant for up-to-date prices. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply as at 17 December 2009 but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are in Australian dollars and are valid for travel departing Australia (unless otherwise stated).

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package. Also, make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the service providers, some of which may limit or exclude liability in respect to death, personal injury, delay and loss or damage to baggage. Infinity Holidays has no responsibility for the products or services provided by these service providers, nor does it make or give any warranty or representation regarding the standard of those products or services. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions, and limitations of liability imposed by those service providers. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Infinity Holidays. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not with Infinity Holidays.

LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third-party providers over whom we have no direct control, and for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury and loss or damage to property of whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection to the offer or supply of products or services through Infinity Holidays or any third parties, or in connection with the supply of such products or services. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event that is beyond our control, which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder; some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents prior to travel.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade for all overseas travel. Your travel consultant can provide information to you about travel insurance. For details of the services they provide, including a quote, please refer to their Financial Services Guide.

PASSPORTS & VISAS: It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits that meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least six months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip, please ask your travel consultant.

TRAVEL ADVICE: Infinity Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. For travel advice, please contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at <www.smartraveller.gov.au>.

HEALTH: It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

TAXES: Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice. All prices and charges in this brochure include Australian GST where applicable.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS: A non-refundable deposit of $165 per person for international bookings and $55 per person for domestic bookings is payable within seven days of confirmation of your reservation. You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable. Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If for any reason we do not receive the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued. Without limitation, the following cancellation fees will apply as a minimum and are subject to change – International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable.

AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.

REFUNDS: To the extent permitted by law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted.

NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.

MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS: The prices shown are for payment by cash. A credit card surcharge will apply when paying by credit card.

PRIVACY POLICY: Infinity Holidays is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available for viewing at <www.flightcentre.com.au>, or ask your travel consultant for details.

BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements.

PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of Infinity Holidays. All communications from us will be sent to your travel consultant. Your travel consultant will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel consultant to Infinity Holidays.

MONIES NOT HELD ON TRUST: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Infinity Holidays and will be a debt due and payable to the relevant supplier (contingent on availing) once the services to which the money relates have been availed or the relevant booking is cancelled (subject to cancellation fees). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by Infinity Holidays on trust for or on behalf of you.

GOVERNING LAW: The terms and conditions contained within this brochure are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays. Licence numbers QLD 3124259, NSW 2TA002547, VIC 32360, WA 9TA 1362, SA TTA192799, ACT 18800566.
