Goway Travel, with a long history of selling Downunder, offers the widest range of experiences throughout Western Australia for agents. These include spectacular destinations such as Ningaloo Reef, which has an impressive reputation as one of Earth’s last ocean paradises. Travellers can dive with hundreds of tropical fish, colourful coral and the world’s biggest fish, the whale shark. It’s one of the largest fringing reefs in the world and unlike many others, you can get to it just by stepping off the beach. Goway’s Founder & President, Bruce Hodge, went to Ningaloo Reef and enjoyed a memorable experience diving with the whale sharks and highly recommends this trip.

The Ningaloo marine park stretches 260 kilometres and it reaches nearly 20 kilometres seaward, encompassing a massive 5,000 square kilometres of ocean with 500 species of tropical fish and 220 species of coral in all. Nothing can compare to the thrill of swimming beside a whale shark. These docile creatures visit the reef each year between April and June. Slip on a snorkel or diving gear and swim with graceful manta rays, see dolphins and schools of brightly coloured fish in the clearest turquoise water imaginable.

Rare turtle species also hatch here in late January and February, and visitors can watch this amazing natural phenomenon on special guided, eco-interactive trails.

Goway makes it easy for agents to sell Western Australia and Ningaloo Reef, booking flights, accommodation, and experiences to suit travellers needs. Goway also offers all of the major rail journeys, including one of the greatest train journeys on earth – The Indian Pacific – between Perth and Sydney.

Thanks to worldwide attention from the 1998 Presidents Cup, Melbourne shed its title of “The Best Kept Secret in Golf” in favor of a new accolade: “The World’s Best Golf Destination.” In fact, the city alone has as many Top 100 courses as all of Ireland and more than almost every other country. But it is not just the world’s best cluster of courses that makes Melbourne the ultimate golf vacation spot, it is the combination of golf and off-the-greens experiences that puts it at the very top of any golf traveller’s fantasy list. The city is brimming with beautiful hotels, many of them new, every imaginable cuisine at more than 3000 restaurants, and all the cultural trappings a traveller could want, from museums and sports to performing arts, shopping and gaming. And in surrounding Victoria, a countryside of coastal villages, rugged mountains, sprawling vineyards, windswept beaches and verdant rainforests, all populated by Australia’s famed wildlife, abound with adventures and experiences that make golf just one more reason to visit Melbourne.

Visiting for The President’s Cup 2011

About The Presidents Cup
The Presidents Cup, a team match play competition featuring 24 of the world’s top golfers – 12 from the United States and 12 from around the world, excluding Europe – is held every two years, and since 1996 has alternated between United States and international venues.. The Presidents Cup is a unique golf event in that there is no purse or prize money. Players are not personally paid for their participation, rather each competitor allocates an equal portion of the funds generated to charities of his choice. Since the event’s inception, nearly $22 million has been raised for charities around the world, including a record-tying $4.2 million in 2009.
