We're very pleased to announce that the Horizons Unlimited 2016 Western Australia Travellers Meeting will be held Sep 16-18, 2016 at Fairbridge Village near Pinjarra!

Jaye Edwards did a brilliant job as local host in 2015, and after an extended rest and some regenerating travels to Thailand (!), she has picked up the mantle again! Good on ya, Jaye!
"Awesome work to the organisers and support crew. Without you it just wouldn't happen. Great job and look forward to next year as well."

Note the earlier dates, hoping for cooler weather! Online registration is open now, early bird rates until end-April!
