THE BIG NEWS IS ALL ABOUT SOME TRIPS AWAY WITH JIM and other artists, firstly to NORFOLK ISLAND and later this year to FIJI !

FIRST things FIRST .... The Norfolk Island trip is a special experience.

I have done it twice before and this time Craig at Norfolk Island Getaways and Relaxaway has put together a FANTASTIC package which includes:

• a GOLD PASS to the Norfolk Island Country Music Festival featuring Catherine Britt along with myself, Amos Morris and many top NZ artists.

• a special tour to discover the fascinating history of Norfolk Island - the convict times, the Bounty descendants history and the very special culture and language of this unique place.

• a night of bush verse with myself and famous Norfolk poet ARCHIE BIGGE ... whose verse appears in my Big verse book.

• A special Jim Haynes Brekky with myself and others.

This is an amazing experience which combines a GREAT HOLIDAY, HISTORY AND AUSTRALIANA, RHYMED VERSE, COUNTRY MUSIC and TAX FREE SHOPPING!

Everyone who visits Norfolk Island says it is a magical place !

The dates are MAY 16th to 23rd and if you book early we will send you a copy of BOTH the 'ABC Book of Australian Country Music' AND 'The Australian Book of popular Rhymed Verse' so you are well prepared for the CM festival and the Bush Verse evening!!!
