There will follow a trip to a horse stud in the hinterland and a visit to Mount Tamborineand the Aussie Pie Shop.  There may be time for a visit to a theme park such as Wet and Wild or a Canal Cruise.

The teams will then travel to Warwick in the near outback, where the weather will no doubt be chilly.  The teams will experience some great country hospitality and canparticipate in two days of horseback riding activities.  These could inculude such things as team penning, cross country riding in the Warwick 3* course, gymkhana events or trail riding.  Come prepared!

Travelling onto the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane, the teams will be based at Noosaville along the Noosa River.  Activities in this area will include a visit to Australia Zoo (http://www.australiazoo.com.au) and a trail ride experience with Alex Watson, an Australian Olympic Pentathlete who has a stable full of Australian Stock Horses. (http://www.equathon.com)

The Nationals Cup competition (Show Jumping) will take place at Kenilworth Show Grounds, a 30 minute bus ride inland from Noosaville and will take palce in the final weekend of the exchange.
