Family-run Adelaide-based Bunnik Tours has shared its birthday cake with Sydney as it celebrated 30 years of operation at a party at the Queen Victoria Building Tea Rooms last night.
Present were the extended Bunnik family, including co-CEOs Sacha and Dennis Bunnik, plus mum Marion the founder of the company, on a panel.
The panel shared a few inside secrets and insights into the family company with MC Mark Tucker in front of attendant media, agents and supporting partners.
The idea sprang from the family’s mid 1970s idea to sell the family home, convert a van into sleeping accommodation and tour Europe. Dennis also got a foot stuck in a bidet in France, by the way, while Sacha’s most embarrassing travel yarn had him applying for an e-visa for Saudi Arabia with an expired passport – he made it through – eventually, probably lugging his mother’s excess luggage.
