José Ramos-Horta
Nobel Peace Prize co-laureate

For almost a quarter of a century, José Ramos-Horta has criss-crossed the globe lobbying for the freedom of East Timor. Together with his compatriot and friend, Bishop Carlos, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996. Before leaving East Timor only days before the Indonesian invasion in 1974, he worked for the media and, since then, has worked with the media, foreign governments and international organisations seeking support for the right to self-government.

This tour aims to orientate you with your host city, Melbourne. The inhabitants of Melbourne love her elegant layout, her Victorian grandeur and architecture, her wide tree-lined streets, the hustle and bustle of this thriving metropolis. We also view Melbourne from the dizzy heights of the Rialto Tower - highest building in the Southern Hemisphere. From up in the "gods" you'll experience unheralded views of Melbourne's surrounds.

Perhaps the most amazing and delightful tour of all, the Penguin Parade is unique among animal displays anywhere in the world. See these charming little fairy penguins, bloated from a day's catch of fish, gamely waddle up the broad Summerland Beach to their nests. And they do this every night of the year, keeping a punctual rendezvous at sunset determined to find their homes. Join us for dinner or go it alone at one of the cafes on the island.
Includes: transport, tour guide and admission fees.
