star rated and have received the T-QUAL accreditation, the Australian Government's quality benchmark for
the tourism industry. The portfolio also won bronze in the five-star luxury accommodation category at the
NSW Tourism Awards 2A12. For more information, visit www.mountainwhispers.com.au.

reducing our environmentalfootprint at the same time. The GreenBizCheck program helps us in many
ways," said Lorraine Allanson, Managing Darector.
GreenBizCheck provides organisations with a comprehensive checklist of practical actions which reduce
energy use and wastage in the workplace through a comprehensive assessment which is then audited and
