A place of fun and interesting activities awaits you…
“Each year in autumn, the deciduous trees in the town of Bright and the surrounding countryside put on a breathtaking display of colour. Located on the beautiful Ovens River and nestled in the valley below Mount Buffalo, Bright’s avenues of elms, chestnuts, poplars and scarlet oaks are enhanced by the gardens of local residents which contribute to the town’s autumn splendour…”

* Note:

1. We would like to know if the planned date and duration (3days 2 night trip from 30/04/2010 to 02/05/2010) is an appropriate time for people (individuals and/or families) who are interested to join this event.

2. Regarding the accommodation, MSA will need to know the estimate number of people who are interested to join this trip- therefore we will try and check vacant accommodations available on that date.

3. Once we get there, we’re on our own! This means, we can either join the autumn festival activities or we can create our own fun and interesting trip activities.

4. Good news: Some costs will be covered by MSA as we will get funding from SRC (Insya-Allah)

So why wait? Check your calendar and do respond to us as soon as possible. Any further information and enquiries, do contact me, Siti Nurbaya via email at ct_yaya83@yahoo.com
