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…

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…

North Island Road Trip
It was time to visit the undiscovered path of our adventures in New Zealand; the North Island. It’s a no-brainer that New Zealand and road trips go hand-in-hand, so we hired a campervan for our 7 days travel in the north. On later review, 7 days was no-where near enough time to see and enjoy everything…

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…

Arashiyama & Kyoto
Our first and only mistake with Kyoto is that we didn’t plan enough time in this majestic city! It’s always hard to chose what sites to see more, whether you rush & try to see it all or focus on a main area and truly get to know & explore it. Looking at a map…

Osaka
We were on the Shinkansen or Bullet Train to the next city in Japan – Osaka. The trip took roughly 3 hours, passing beautiful coast line & what would be views of Mount Fuji if the clouds weren’t obstructing the view. We arrived at Shin-Osaka station. From here, you will need to jump on another…
