It's not too early to make your plans, particularly if you want to take part in the pre-Forum tour to the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rock, which will be limited because of the number of domestic Australian airline seats available. The complete tour, which the travel agents have billed as the Grand Tour, will leave the United States on Oct. 20 and return from New Zealand on Nov. 15. The basic World Forum and Forum Tour leaves Oct. 25 and returns Nov. 9 from Melbourne. The post Forum tour will allow travelers to see some of New Zealand. It will leave Melbourne Nov. 9 and returns to the United States Nov. 15, after a tour of New Zealand's North Island.
Travelers can take a combination of tours that suit their interest, time and pocketbook.
Deposits are now being accepted. The third advertisement in the American Angus Association's 1997 advertising program can be seen in major national cattle publications this month. As with the other two ads, it highlights the added value of Angus cattle compared to other breeds of the same quality. The illustration features two pens of feeder cattle, one of various kinds and colors, the other Angus with two black white-faced steers. The copy explains how a producer's next calf crop can be worth more if they are sired by Angus bulls.
