The Mega Famil was split into 2 modules, with each exploring different regions of Australia before meeting up in Melbourne for the final section of the trip.

Module 1 began with four days exploring the West Coast of Australia including Exmouth, Margaret River and Perth before heading to South Australia and visiting Adelaide and Kangaroo Island, then onto Victoria to experience Melbourne before travelling to regional Victoria to visit the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula.

Module 2 took in Port Douglas, Cairns and Tropical North Queensland and visited Mossman Gorge and the Daintree to explore the reef, Kurunda and rainforest, then onto The Red Centre to see Uluru, Kings Canyon and Alice Springs before a flight to Melbourne to visit the city and also see regional Victoria including the Great Ocean Road, Wilsons Promontory and Phillip Island.

“I would like to give a special thanks to the sponsors and the supplier partners who made this famil the unprecedented success that it was! We could never have done it without their support. Every product experienced by the group was amazingly delivered by the staff of our supplier partners who went above and beyond to make our common clients welcome,” AOT Chief Operating Officer Cinzia Burnes said.
