Yes - I like the idea of a
Rock 'n' Roll Holiday
But are there also
other things to do ???
What makes the perfect holiday?
That something special & magical
that lives on in your memory
That indescribable feeling where
years later, you still get a warm
fuzzy feeling about your holiday
Everyone's heard all about those
fabulous tropical islands with
golden sands, sunny days,
warm cystal clear water
& beautiful sunsets
Most islands in the Whitsundays
have shell-type beaches - which
can be a bit on the "gritty side"
Whilst Long Island is fortunate to
be "blessed" with many miles of
unspoilt white sandy beaches
Long Island Resort is one of the
world’s most picturesque
holiday destinations
The Resort offers a host of
activities & entertainment
Of course there's all the facilities
you'd expect from an award
winning 3½ star island resort
Great restaurants, swimming pools,
tennis courts, bars, nightly
entertainment & so much more
A natural island setting ambience,
privacy & an intimate getaway
combined with excellent service
You can sit back, relax & soak up the
sun in this peaceful tropical setting,
surrounded by nature’s beauty
Facilities include:
* Buffet Restaurant
* Cafe
* Poolside Grill
* Theme Night Dinners
* Pool Bar
* Sand Bar Lounge
* Night Club
* Live Evening Entertainment
* Resort Shop
Plus, there's also a great range of
other activities you can get into
For example - "pay for" activities
are very reasonably priced:
Plus - there's stacks & stacks of
"complimentary" activities
* Swim-up Pool Bar
* 25 Metre Lap Pool
* Heated Spa
* Sauna
* Beautician & Masseuse
* Gymnasium
* Table Tennis
* Waterskiing
* Parasailing
* Jet Skis
* Canoeing
* Donut Rides
* Scuba Diving
* Dive Courses
* Lauch Hire
* Game & Reef Fishing
* 20 kms of walking tracks in
Rain Forest National Parks
* Whale Watching (seasonal)
* Beach Volleyball
* Bird Feeding
* Fish Feeding
* Beach Coconut Throwing
* Mini Golf
* Two Floodlit Tennis Courts
* Games Room
* Beachside Hammocks
* Catamaran Sailing
* Paddle Skis & Boards
* Snorkelling
(Coral Reef off the beach)
* Great Barrier Reef Trips
* Day Trips to other
Whitsundays Islands
* Or just some "lazing around"
relaxing in the sun & doing
"absolutely nothing"
The friendly & well experienced
resident Long Island Resort
Activities Coordinators are
available to help schedule
your daily activities
However - it's YOUR holiday & it's
YOUR choice of what you'd like to do
So whether you're looking for
fun filled excitement, relaxation
or a combination of both
You get to "call the shots"
So all this, in the company of a great
bunch of fellow "Rock 'n' Rollers"
from all over Australia & New Zealand

Additionally, the whole complex, including all units, have
recently been completely refurbished & modernised
The Rock 'N' Roll Travel Club have negotiated exceptionally
reasonable rates with the Long Island Resort Management
You'll discover that they're more than competitive with the
usual non-school holidays rates through travel agents
But there's also many extra benefits for those of us who enjoy
our dancing - & socializing with other rock 'n' rollers
Because even better, is that ALL the rock 'n' roll activities,
socials, dances, workshops, etc are included at no extra cost
PLUS - there's quite a few other "surprises" also included as part
of the special Rock 'N' Roll Travel Club Long Island holiday

Who are Footloose Rockers ???
Geoff & Sue Routh have taught dance
for many years - 18 years ago, Geoff's
first studio was "Rave on Rock N Roll"
And they've been teaching together
now for over 15 years under the
"Footloose Rockers" banner
Sue & Geoff are exceptionally well
experienced teachers
Footloose Rockers are holding a series
of free Rock 'n' Roll socials & workshops
throughout your week at Long Island
Australia is blessed with many excellent
Rock 'n' Roll & Swing dance teachers,
but it's fair to say that Geoff & Sue
are certainly "stand-outs"
There's certain dancers where you just
can't help but sit down, watch & enjoy
And if you've been to Wintersun, then
chances are that you've watched
& admired Sue & Geoff dancing,
without knowing who they were
Good dancers don't necessarily make
good teachers - but that's definitely
not the case with Sue & Geoff
And this is born out by the many
dance competitions won by
Footloose students
Sue & Geoff instill a sense of fun &
vitality into their workshops &
social events - there's always a
relaxed & friendly atmosphere
And it doesn't matter if you're a couple
or by yourself - because all dancers
have the option of either rotating,
or staying with their own partners
Either way - you get to meet everybody
So you'll be in "very good hands"
with Footloose Rockers

Who are Gorgeous Gear ???
Gorgeous Rock 'n' Swing Gear was
established by Mary Busuttil &
Ray Harris in Melbourne in 1999
(that's us of course, as you'd
know from this website)
Since then Gorgeous has grown to be
the most significant supplier of Swing
& Rock 'n' Roll shoes in the world,
with over 150 shoe styles
Gorgeous have built up a network
of 25 Distributors for our shoe
ranges throughout Australia
& New Zealand - & we have
customers in 60 Countries
We were previously rock 'n' roll dance
competitors, winning 50 titles &
placing in another 20, (from 80
starts) - during a little over 4
years of competition
We've been asked to teach dancing
far more times than we can recall
But we've been kept “more than busy”
running Gorgeous - so we've
never previously taught
So we're especially looking forward to
helping teachers with the experience
& stature of Sue & Geoff Routh
at Rock 'n' Roll The Reef
We're likewise looking to meeting fellow
Rock 'n' Rollers from throughout
Australia & New Zealand
