Post-Conference Trips

The worst thing about AMUNC is that it has to end. Chances are that at the end of the week you won't want to leave your AMUNC experiences behind you. So why not continue the party with a post-conference trip?

The AMUNC Host Team has arranged a number of tours in conjunction with Colourful Trips, available to all partcipants at a discounted rate. The tours are a great way to explore Sydney and its surrounds whether you are an international or interstate delegate, or even if you're a local resident.

All tours include
  • Safe travel in modern buses
  • Commentary, stories and cool music
  • Professional guides
  • Meal deal after the tour: buy a drink and get a free meal
AMUNC participants will receive a discount code in their showbag upon registration, which offers $10 off for any of the prices listed below. Two of the tours also have dates available before AMUNC (10 or 11 July). Any delegates interested in attending these should email logistics@amunc.net for the discount code.
Any one of these trips are guaranteed to be a fantastic day out and a great way of extending that wonderful AMUNC experience. So don't miss out and register your place at colourfultrips.com no later than 13 July 2010.
