Hi Rachel,

The 3 month getaway you are planning sounds wonderful!

To start with, there are some general topics on ‘immigration’ and ‘about Australia’ available at the Australian Government website http://australia.gov.au/. Also, when visiting Australia there are a number of different visa options, depending on where you are travelling from. For instance, if you were travelling from the UK, either an ‘evisitor’ or ‘tourist visa’ may apply. Our Immigration Department has a ‘Visa Wizard’ which may help you to see which visa may be relevant to your family. It is located on the Department of Immigration website at http://www.immi.gov.au/visawizard/. Another great resource to help you begin planning your holiday is the official tourism website http://www.australia.com/.

If you have any specific questions let me know, otherwise I hope you’ve found this information useful. Good luck with your travel plans and I hope your trip is a memorable adventure.

Regards,

Donna

    Disney’s First Winnie the Pooh Playroom Opens at the Athenaeum Hotel

    London, July 28th – Disney and the Athenaeum Hotel recently recognised as the Best UK Family Hotel*, have teamed-up to open the first Winnie the Pooh playroom. Packed with loads of Winnie toys, musical instruments, LEGO DUPLO, colouring sets and games all featuring the beloved bear and his friends, the Hundred Acre Wood setting playroom is now open for summer playtime

    For Disney this a unique UK experience. “We hope the Winnie the Pooh playroom will add a touch of Disney magic for families holidaying in London over the summer and staying at the Athenaeum.” commented Andrea Tartaglia, Vice President, and franchise marketing Europe for The Walt Disney Company

    The playroom is sure to be a hit with the more than 1,000 children who visit the hotel each summer, giving parents a welcome break to enjoy a meal or spa treatment, as the hotel’s nanny keeps a watchful eye over the kids in the playroom. Even parents may not want to miss out on the complimentary honey-flavoured ‘High Tea’, made using Regent’s Park bees’ honey, which will be hosted by the kids’ concierge in the playroom every weekend.

    Beyond the playroom, the Athenaeum will have more Winnie the Pooh inspired goodies for guests including a ‘Honey-Tea Family Picnic Hamper’ – filled to the brim with delicious food and Winnie toys. The hamper can be enjoyed in one of the many neighbouring Royal Parks which surround the hotel – Green Park is just across the road.

    Families who choose to stay in of the Athenaeum’s newly refurbished apartments will find Winnie the Pooh and his friends around every corner – including fun bath and bedtime products, helping to make families’ stay fun and special.

    The Athenaeum’s Kids Concierge, Serena Zandegu, said “We’re really passionate about offering families a unique experience which makes their stay all the more fun and relaxing – and who better to work with than Disney to help us achieve this.
