In 2007 we are celebrating a 30th birthday with Rod Dyer's Air Adventure Australia, AAA, we are launching Australia's newest and exciting marriage between an Indigenous-owned cattle station along with specialist tourism operations inclusive of our authentic outback hospitality and the excitement of trekking the Kimberley on horseback. Home Valley Station, HV8, is 700,000 acres of Kimberley wilderness with an ever-growing herd size of 3000 pure-bred Brahman cattle. Also in 2007 the HV8 manager and station master Nicholas Bradley is allowing guests various opportunities to experience first-hand what it is like to be part of a seriously hard-core muster team as they join the HV8 ringers. Once guests have taken their part in a real Kimberley cattle muster, it's time to unwind, refresh and change into something relaxing all in time for lunch, and all before an afternoon of Australia's best fishing.

An on-site hospitality academy for local indigenous men and woman celebrated a highly successful first year, especially for the Home Valley Station trainees - all looking forward to their return living on-site to complete Certificate II of their Hospitality Management course and new phases of their Cattle Station Management course. Wonderful groundbreaking initiatives founded by Nicholas and Sarah Bradley who together are overseeing an enormous albeit ultra-rewarding project, be sure to visit us all at Home Valley Station, operating during both the popular Dry Season (1 April - 31 October) and the dramatic "Monster Barramundi" Wet Season (1 November - 31 March) - closed during December each year. The Kimberley's premium selection of outback accommodation like, Home Valley Station's Grass Castles is all made easily accessible anywhere within The Cockburn Range Collection including Home Valley Station and Digger's Rest Station located either side of the world tourism icon El Questro Wilderness Park.

id Services Australia are also very pleased to be managing Rod Dyer's Air Adventure Australia, AAA - an international air touring company providing air safari itineraries that allow guests to experience an enormous selection of Australia and her isles, including an annual selection of exciting World Expeditions.

Kimberley Fine Diamonds worn by Sabrina Houssami, Miss World Australia and recently crowned Miss World Asia Pacific

Equally exciting to all at id Services Australia was the announcement of our management agreement with Kimberley Fine Diamonds, KFD. Kimberley Fine Diamonds is a boutique jewellery house located within the remote township of Kununurra WA. It was not long before our new client KFD was selected as the major sponsor and provider of fine jewellery for various Miss World pageants and social events the world over.

Kimberley Fine Diamonds' designers created an official Crowning Collection of immense beauty, KFD designers are the first-ever jewellers to have been requested to produce the Miss World logo as a fine jewellery piece, a dazzling pendant, presented as gifts to all Miss World Australia state winners. Deservedly so, a slightly more spectacular pendant was awarded to Sabrina Houssami, our current Miss World Australia and Miss World Asia Pacific.

The following note was received after lecturing Diploma in Tourism & Hospitality students at Macleay College Sydney.

Dear Chris

Many thanks for your presentation yesterday. Feedback from the class is absolutely positive about the content of your talk and the entertaining and informative way it was delivered. Juliet was also extremely impressed with the whole format so it sounds like your foray back into your old place of learning was highly successful. Sorry I wasn't here to say hello and I look forward to inviting you back again in the future.

Please keep in touch and let me know if there's any way I can be of assistance with your plans to do some lecturing.
