Announcer: Hello and welcome to our listeners. I’m Joan Williams and in today’s programme I’m talking to Philip Mell from Australia. Philip is the manager of the Pacific Touring Company. Philip, what kind of trips do you organise for those who want to see Australia?
Philip: As you know, Australia today is a country which attracts a lot of visitors. Holidaymakers are fond of visiting Dreamworld. It’s a park on the Gold Coast just 40 minutes from Brisbane. We organise groups of about 25 people who travel to the Gold Coast in comfortable buses.
