Follow in the footsteps of the AIF. 

• G'day. 

• I'm Ted Harris.

•  This is my website and these are my tours.

Tours I will lead in 2004

• Over the years I have been asked on thousands of occasions 
  • "Who is the best tour operator to see about tours to the battle fields?"

• I can now honestly say, I think I can offer you the best in the business. My friends at Battle Tours have offered me the chance to design and lead a select number of tours.

  This allows a blend of great tour operators with much experience and a tour designed and led by a military history nut of 40 years standing.

  

• Now as you know I am fiercely protective of the reputation of Digger History as being free of paid advertising and free from commercial activity. To that end I thought long and hard about getting involved. The reasons I chose to do so are varied, but they include:
  • Ever since there was a Digger History we have carried unpaid advertising for Battle Tours because I have always thought of them as the best value for money operators.
  • They offer a great blend on their tours. They have the battle fields and the military history sites all covered BUT they also realize that a tour has to offer more. 
    • They don't allow their tours to become boring.
  • These blokes are "up-front". 
    • No hidden extras. 
    • Meals are mostly included in the price. 
    • You know EXACTLY what you get BEFORE you sign on the dotted line.
  • Groups are kept small so there is no need to feel that you are just a number.
  • The majority of guests are 35 plus so the accommodation is 3 star or better. 
    • These tours do NOT ask you to live in a tent and sleep on the rocky ground.
  • On each one there is a Tour Leader to help with any little day to day problem that crops up. 
    • On the tours I promote it is me, personally, so if you are not pleased with something I am there on the spot, so we can work it out in a friendly manner until you are satisfied.

  "THE ANZAC MECCA" 

• Once in every lifetime, 

  • a pilgrimage for you and me,

  • To Lone Pine and to Anzac Cove, 

  • to see Gallipoli.

• It is a sacred place to us, 

  • we from the southern lands,

  • and all should journey to that ground, 

  • where we first took a stand.

• You could not walk that lonely shore, 

  • and fail to feel the pride,

  • that comes from being an Anzac child,  

  • to honour those who died.

• A promise I have made with God, 

  • an oath I've sworn to me,

  • to make that odyssey  one day, 

  • and fulfill my destiny.
