African Safari: March 2010
Southern Africa is home to arguably the world’s most diverse, interesting and stunning array of cultures, wildlife and landscapes. And much of southern Africa shares agricultural challenges and opportunities very similar to our own.
We will travel to Africa in early March. Harvest of summer crops will be underway and preparation for winter cropping getting into full swing.
It is also considered a prime time for wildlife viewing. It’s the end of the rainy season in Tanzania and Zambia when the bush is at its most beautiful and lush. The wildebeest are calving on the Serengeti, the big cats such as lions and leopards are often seen on roads and other spots away form the wet grass and Victoria Falls are at their thunderous peak.

Japan Cherry Blossom Special: April 2010
Japan is still Australia's biggest agricultural export destination. It is our second biggest wheat market, and by far our biggest beef market. It is also right near the top for sugar, cotton and barley.
And farming in Japan is quite unique. Most of the farms are small, but the farmers are well organised into regional and national co-operatives with a lot of marketing and political influence.
Our 2010 tour will cover the best farming regions and new technology and will take you to some of the unspoilt, authentic areas while not missing out on the ‘must-see’ sights and experiences — like Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Hiroshima and the incredible Shinkansen bullet train. The best time to visit Japan is in the spring, when the magnificent cherry blossoms are on display. And that is exactly when we will be there. . . . more information

The Big Farms tour will concentrate on these operations in Russia, Ukraine and Romania, without neglecting the fascinating historic and cultural significance of places such as St Petersburg, Moscow, the Black Sea, Danube Delta and Transylvania . . . more information
