The Alcoholics Anonymous Australia 80th Anniversary Whitsundays Celebration Cruise Committee are thrilled to announce that Oz Cruising have successfully moved all cruisers across to the new date of February 15, 2025 (instead of March).
A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your understanding and flexibility regarding the change in date.

Brisbane-Whitsunday and return (4 nights) February 15-18 2025
Announcing Australia’s inaugural sober cruise, marking a milestone event for Alcoholics Anonymous down under.
Originally planned pre-Covid-19 with 197 members signed up for the inaugural “Friends Of Bill” Cruise, which unfortunately had to be cancelled. However, with meticulous reporting to the AA Secretary, we’ve been granted the opportunity to relaunch the cruise as part of Alcoholics Anonymous’ 80th Anniversary celebrations. Mark your calendars for March 18-22, 2025, as we embark on this unforgettable journey aboard the P&O Pacific Encounter, departing from Brisbane to Whitsundays and back. With the cruise strategically scheduled just before the National Convention in Sydney (the main event for our 80th celebrations), overseas and traveling visitors can maximize their experience by attending both historic AA events. We aim to unite 400 AA, Alanon, and family members for this four-day voyage.
Professional travel agents, Ozcruising will exclusively handle all bookings, ensuring a seamless process. Don’t miss out on this incredible cruising opportunity —secure your tickets early as they’re selling fast!

Cruise balances are required to be paid in full by October 18, 2024 !!

Good Morning . Port Lincoln just had our winter camp and we were discussing a dance party for our next camp on the AUSTRALIA day weekend 2025 .
We were wondering if there were any budding D. j ‘s out there amongst members of AA , who may consider donating their services for a night , to entertain members and their families attending our camp , just outside of Port Lincoln South Australia (SA). Just putting the feelers out there in the hope somebody may be interested and help us provide a wonderful night of entertainment for those attending the camp .
Thank you and have a great day . { no hurry for an answer }

We are thrilled to welcome you all to the 16th Annual Primary Purpose International Convention in Oslo, Norway.
In 2006, a small group of A.A. members organized a speaker’s evening in Oslo. It was the beginning of what is now a significant annual A.A. event in Norway, which has drawn thousands of participants from around the country over the years and international guests from all over the world. Some of the most renowned international A.A. speakers have graced our convention.
This year, under the theme “We Came to Believe”, we focus on the spiritual awakening that is the cornerstone of our recovery. As the Big Book outlines, coming to believe in a Power greater than ourselves restores us to sanity and brings a new purpose to our lives. Our convention aims to reinforce this belief, offering a space for reflection, growth, and the sharing of experiences that renew our commitment to sobriety.
Join us in Oslo as we celebrate the journey of belief, recovery, and the unbreakable bond we share as members of A.A. Together, we will explore how our faith has transformed our lives, providing strength and hope for the future. We look forward to a weekend filled with inspiring talks, heartfelt fellowship, and the reaffirmation that we are never alone on this path.

Join us at the Sex Inventory Workshop to help you in your steps and recovery. This is a free three (3) hour Zoom Workshop led by Judith R from North Dakota.
Now about sex. Many of us needed an overhauling there. But above all, we tried to be sensible on this question. It’s so easy to get way off the track…. We do not want to be the arbiter of anyone’s sex conduct. We all have sex problems. We’d hardly be human if we didn’t. What can we do about them? (pg. 68).
The sex inventory is the second part of the 4th step in AA. In this part of the step work, we look at our sexual behaviour and intimate relationships and where we have caused harm. This is our sex or conduct inventory. They look at initially our sex or romantic relationships but the questions can apply to other relationships. The purpose is not only to help my amend process but to look at my behavior so I can see what I need to have God change in my personality in steps six and seven.
Whatever our ideal turns out to be, we must be willing to grow toward it. We must be willing to make amends where we have done harm, provided that we do not bring about still more harm in so doing. In other words, we treat sex as we would any other problem. In meditation, we ask God what we should do about each specific matter. The right answer will come, if we want it (pg. 69).

Meetings, meditation and fun in a peaceful bush setting – that’s the Bill W camp – now in its 26th year. Some great sharing at meetings under the stars, morning meditation by the river, a damper cooking competition (BYO flour), a dip in the hot springs, or bring your talent to Red Faces.
Swimming in the river with the crocodiles is not advised, but we are welcome to use the Resort’s big pool. It’s a camp, so bring your own everything including a chair for meetings. We do supply cold water, tea and coffee – in your own mug.
The Douglas Daly Tourist Park reserves an area for us which includes a camping and vehicle site. If you are camping ($15 a night) no need to book. The park also reserves us a few caravan sites close to the action.
If you’d like to book a powered site or reserve a room or self-contained cabin, BOOK EARLY because our camp runs over a holiday weekend and the park gets very busy. Contact the park direct on 08 8978 2479 and say “I’m with the Bill W Camp†For more info….
