Three travel and cruise partners united in Melbourne for a special event this week. Annabelle Brown, State Manager for Victoria and Tasmania from PONANT EXPLORATIONS, Ines Iniesta from Journey Beyond and Sally-Anne Matthews from Bunnik Tours, hosted a successful Oaks Day “Ladies Day” event at Eureka 89, celebrating the Racing Carnival high above Melbourne’s skyline in perfect weather.

Thirty valued travel partners from all consortias and independent agencies joined Brown, Iniesta and Matthews for a three-course gourmet lunch, champagne, sweeps and a “Fashion in the Clouds” competition.
