In Cairns, they visited Kuranda Koala Park and Hartley’s Crocodile Adventure. Next, they went to Green Island and the Great Barrier Reef to snorkel before they visited Esplanade.
Finally, the group flew to Melbourne and played multiple games. They played a National Team and a pair of club teams.
A total of 27 players from across the United States attended the nine-day excursion, with LVC bringing the most players from one team. Read more about the trip at www.godutchmen.com.
