Australia: 15-21 May 2011

Our group embarked on a study of Australia’s prominent centres in Sydney and Melbourne and found ourselves duly impressed. The hosted visits included Westfield malls, retgional and CBD centres and a factory outlet, where participants uncovered excellent bargains. The shopping scene and bustling and vibrant with many things to be learnt from specialised customer services, impressive architectural designs, interior décor and lighting. All agreed that it was a fruitful and fun trip, with time out for a quick tour in both cities and sampling local delights, plus an excellent time for info-sharing and networking.
