        Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond intended time away.

 

2.     HEALTH:

 Travel agents are not permitted to give out medical advice, apart from any compulsory inoculations requested by governments.  There is nothing compulsory for any of this year’s teams, however we suggest that you may like to take optional precautions.  Here are two web sites of travel vaccination companies that you can check out:  www.travelhealth.com.au or www.tmvc.com.au  or call 1902 261560 approx. A$0.95 per minute.

4.     TICKETS:
