Best early EOFY travel deals for 2025
June 30 is coming up quick and fast, which can only mean two things: time to sort out your tax and time to shop the End of Financial Year Sales (EOFY). Let's face it, we all know which is more enjoyable. Traditionally regarded as a time to shop for tax deductible work items, EOFY has lately become the perfect excuse for any and all to host a sale - travel brands included. This year we're already seeing Flight Centre axe prices by up to 60 per cent in its Big Red Sale. Extended until June 6 (though we're betting they'll extend again!) flights, cruises, tours and accommodation worldwide have all been given a mighty price slash. Highlights that are sure to sell out soon include $1310 return flights to Rome on Air China, $599 return flights to Singapore on Malaysia Airlines, 2-for-1 Premium European River cruise from Budapest and eight nights at the adults-only Kamala Beach Resort in Phuket from $330 per person. Today, Amazon joined in the fun with a Mid-Year sale stocked to the gills with heavily discounted tech, toys and homewares. If you've been eyeing a robovac for way too long, the ECOVACS DEEBOT T20e Omni is down to $799 (was $1999) while campers (including backyard ones) can snap up a XuanPad Mini Projector for outdoor movie nights for $128.99 (down from $199.99). For suitcases, American Tourister and Antler have both taken up to 50 per cent off their bestsellers. Close on their heels Samsonite and Myer are running 40 per cent off luggage sales, while The Iconic has plucked out some best-selling American Tourister, Samsonite, Kathmandu and Cobb & Co collections and docked hundreds of dollars off each. After those precious tax deductibles? HP is slinging half-price laptops, Lenovo is inching ahead with 51 per cent off selected laptops and tablets and Myer's got 15 per cent off tech gear like earbuds, speakers and headphones. With the End of Financial Year sales running throughout June, we've got it on good authority that there will be lots more deals coming in the new weeks. We'll update this story as they drop.

Tourist "poisoning" victim demands answers from Fiji authorities
On the program today: A tourist who says her alcohol was 'poisoned' in Fiji has spoken out after her near-death experience and is demanding answers from the Fiji government and the hotel. Fiji's Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka says he hasn't been told the truth and has directed his government to look into the suspected alcohol poisoning. Persuading the Australian government to allow commercial kava imports was hard fought, but now there are fears it's being jeopardised by kava smuggling in the Northern Territory. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has headed straight into the Pacific region on the back of a state visit to Indonesia and the Vatican. A Pacific expert says Penny Wong's visit to the Pacific shows the government's intention to focus on the region. Vanuatu's President Nikenike Vurobaravu has revoked an order commuting the sentences of 70 prisoners.

Aussie couple rescued by cruise ship after being stranded off New Caledonian coast
A group of lucky travellers has been rescued by a cruise ship after their boat broke down off the coast of New Caledonia. Aussie bloggers Dusty and Helena, along with their three dogs and another couple, were saved from their disabled catamaran in the South Pacific on Thursday. Crew on board the Carnival Splendour responded to the boat's distress call by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Noumea. Carnival Cruise's communications director Lynne Scrivens said the group was 'all okay' after being stranded on their catamaran in rough seas just south of New Caledonia. 'Carnival Splendour, it's a Sydney-based cruise ship, it got the call to go and assist and so it immediately diverted and headed towards where the catamaran was and thankfully we were able to get to them and rescue the four people and their three dogs, who are now on Carnival Splendour along with 3300 other guests,' she told 2GB's Mark Levy. 'They're all okay, thankfully. They were really lucky that we were able to come to their rescue, and they're receiving food and water, and they're having a rest in a cabin.' Ms Scrivens confirmed the sailors had been cleared by an on-board medical team. 'Quite a story to tell for them,' she added. After completing a lap around Australia, the boat was heading to Fiji before their engine failed and mast broke in bad weather. The cruise ship was travelling on an eight-day round trip to Vanuatu and New Caledonia, leaving Sydney on Monday. Maritime law requires the nearest vessel to respond to distress calls, diverting course to go and assist. It is understood the rescued sailors will get off in Noumea, 9News reported.
