The Sydney offerings mentioned are rich indeed.

From 1997-1999 I was immersed in Florence Melton studies in Melbourne, during which time I participated in a two week study tour in Israel, which comprised fourteen students from Melbourne and Sydney. For me, the whole thing proved to be part of a turning point in my life. I’m assuming the course is still available in Melbourne, so perhaps publish details of their offerings each year as well. I’ve mentioned this once before on J-Wire. We don’t want to be Sydney-centric!
