TOUR SYNOPSIS:
As the chilly weather sweeps up from the South Pole and it’s cold and uncomfortable on the croquet courts – why not consider a Winter Escape to the Sunshine State?
A winter tour that includes holiday activities on the Sunshine Coast, Fraser Island and Hervey Bay must be high on many people’s bucket-list.
In August, Quadrant will be running a tour that ticks all boxes for a great Winter Escape – as well as offering people with a passion for croquet to get in a few games with the locals at the clubs in Buderim, Noosa, Hervey Bay and Caloundra.
If you and/or your partner play croquet or have ever wondered if you’d like to learn this most enjoyable game, then this will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the company of others with the similar interests and have a relaxing holiday in a much warmer part of the world at this time of the year.
