Doggy Pub Night
|
|
There is nothing more satisfying than sitting down with your best mate for a nice cold beer. But what happens if your best mate happens to be a bit furry, with four paws and a tail? This Tuesday, DOGS Victoria invites all dogs to bring their owners along to the Flying Duck Hotel in Prahran (67 Bendigo Street) from 5:30 onwards for a doggy pub night. There will be food and drink available plus prizes to be raffled off, and the Pub is even working to bring in a new product called DB - dog beer - so your mate can enjoy a cold one too.
If you plan to come along, an RSVP to DOGS Victoria (companion@dogsvictoria.org.au) or to the Hotel directly will be appreciated. |

TOURISM NEWS
Qantas In Flight Magazine chooses
White Hat
Cemetery Tour as its featured Australian tour for May
There are many fine historical tours
throughout Australia including cemetery tours. From these, the
prestigious Qantas In Flight Magazine has chosen the White Hat Tour
of Melbourne Cemetery as its featured Australian tour for the May
2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
details of the tour at White
Hat Tour of Melbourne Cemetery and view the article at
Qantas In Flight Magazine. |
