Nancy Beneducci made sure she carried her Palm Coast Observer everywhere on her month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand with a group of friends.
The group visited Hobbiton and experienced the “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” film sets on a beautiful country farm. They also visited the Maori Arts and Crafts Institute in New Zealand.
