The Great Ocean Road
One of Australia’s most iconic road trips, the Great Ocean Road is a scenic and winding coastal drive in the state of Victoria and is home to the well-known 12 Apostles but it’s not the only highlight. Think beautiful sun-drenched beaches, rugged coastlines, dense rainforest and waterfalls of the Great Otway National Park and of…

Hot Air Balloon in the Hunter Valley
Arriving before sunrise, we met at the departure point for todays adventure – a hot air balloon ride over the beautiful vineyards of the Hunter Valley. The morning was still yet filled with excitement as the flame blew up each balloon and we boarded the basket. As we ascended into the air, the heat kept…

Truffle Season in Canberra
Canberra is a city that really shouldn’t be over-looked. It’s the rarely talked about capital of Australia that never seems to get the best reputation amongst cities to visit and I’m really not sure why! This little city is a food-lover hot spot with so many great eateries to explore, especially in the winter. The…

Mollymook, NSW South Coast
We spent a long weekend at Bannisters By The Sea @ Mollymook. Our trip had us driving south of Sydney, through the Royal National Park, down the coastal route over Sea Cliff Bridge and through the quaint town of Berry. Being July and in the middle of winter in Australia, the weather was absolutely perfect…

Lord Howe Island
Where in Australia can you find a remote island with a resembling mix of Hawaii, Tahiti and Jurassic Park? A place where isolated beaches are joined only by turtles and fishes centimetres from shore and your best mode of transport is by foot or push-bike? With no mobile reception, no crowds and no worries, your…

Turtle Hatchlings
Our sunburnt skin had enough of the sun as we lay on the bed under the fan in our room, awaiting sunset. I noticed the day was cooling off and the sounds of birds becoming rowdier in the distance. I tapped Wade on the shoulder to wake him so we could start our daily sunset…

Heron Island; The Great Barrier Reef
We took off from the tarmac of Gladstone airport, as opposed to the water like I had imagined. ‘Have you ever flown a plane?’ Vance asked me from the pilots seat as I stared between the double steering wheel and pedals, intimidated by the amount of buttons that crowded the dash. ‘Would you like too?’.…

Day walks in Cradle Mountain
Today was dedicated to a harder day trek in the area. Starting from Ronny Creek carpark, we signed the day-trip book before taking a snap of the sign that indicated the start of the Overland Track. The Overland Track is a 6 day hike, taking you on a 65-kilometre trek from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair…

Dove Lake Circuit
There are many different day walks around Cradle Mountain national park, all as equally good as each other that it might be hard to know where to start or what works best for the time you have. If you’re short on time, you might find yourself parking up in Dove Lake car park to enjoy…

Cradle Mountain
We loved every part of our road trip around Tasmania back in March 2015. Hiring a car, we explored some amazing coastal locations including the Bay of Fires, Freycinet National Park, Port Arthur and Bruny Island. As our road trip was made up of only 7 days we were longing to return as we had missed what…

Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walking Track
To the east of Sydney city lies one of the most beautiful coastal walking tracks in NSW; the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walking Track. Also known as the Eastern Beaches Coastal Track, this walk covers roughly 6km from the north of Bondi Beach to Coogee beach and can take you a leisurely 1-2 hour stroll…

Tasmania Road Trip
Tasmania, the island down under… or should it be down down under? Originally named Van Diemen’s Land by European settlers, it would have to be the lesser-known state of Australia but Tasmania is a real treat. Many things come to mind when I think of Tasmania including endless national parks, walking trails to stunningly empty beaches, fury…
