There will be opportunities to book into tours with other conference attendees, a great way of meeting people before or after the main conference. These tours will range from day trips to opportunities for short tours in the city.
Active travellers can snorkel or dive on Australia’s greatest natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef, cycle or hike through highland plateaus, discover hidden rainforest waterfalls, go white-water rafting along raging rivers, or even skydive over the sparkling blue ocean. Get involved in a conservation project, tee off on a tropical golf course or pitch your tent and spend a night in the bush.
If you’re looking for something a little more laid-back, there are food and wine trails, fascinating museums, markets bursting with locally made goodies, and some of the best spas and wellness retreats in the country.
