Winner of the G’day USA promotion

In conjunction with the Islington Hotel and the Priory Lodge in Bothwell, Premier Travel donated in November the prize for the lucky winner of the G’day USA auction held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York earlier this year.  The highest bidder was entitled to four fabulous days of touring and experiencing some of the finest aspects Tasmania has to offer.  The rare sighting of a platypus at Mt Field National Park, the Tasman Island Cruise and lunch at Meadowbank Winery were just some of the highlights combined into this ‘Tasmania by Invitation’ tour.  The auction, held in the name of the Tasmanian Devils, donated all proceeds to the ‘Save the Devil Fund’.
