A press release by the tourist board of a fictional holiday destination.

Exclusive to children – accessible by Underground – the ideal holiday hideaway which adventurous youngsters, tall or small, will fall for!

Be ‘a-mazed’ while your parents doze at home like dormice. Feast on fabulous food ranging from Mock Turtle soup with bread and butter to succulent tarts, fit for a queen. Win guaranteed prizes in whacky races. Stick out your neck and play crazy croquet, hogging the pitch and hedging your bets. Let the bodiless cat put a grin on your face. Be wowed by the babe who turns into a pig and swim in the popular ‘Pool of Tears’.

Why fly all the way to ‘Down Under’ with ‘down under’ here on your doorstep? If the hideaway holiday hat fits you, you’d be mad not to wear it. Wonderland beckons but hurry! The clock is ticking. Book early! Book now or ‘Oh dear, Oh dear’, you’ll be too late!
