IMPORTANT INFORMATION: All prices listed for this Conference are rough estimates, we expect an increase of around 3% for November 2003. All prices are quoted in Australian dollars. There is a charge for the transfers to and from the island. Catamaran - which is a 2 hour trip at a cost of $164.00, or Helicopter - which is 35 minutes trip and a cost of $472.00. The only air-conditioning on the island is in the conference rooms, the rooms only have ceiling fans. The island has 3 x public telephones; the Internet facilities are limited because they are quite remote. Security boxes are available for all valuables and are free of charge; one thing to note also is that the rooms do not have keys. They can be locked once you are inside but cannot be locked when you leave. The island does not seem to have a problem with theft and thinks this relaxed atmosphere works well. Please feel free to contact MMS Conferencing & Events with any questions.
