Our next stop after Fraser Island was Airlie Beach. This was a mammoth 12 hour drive (including stops for food and the toilet). Luckily me and Stew could share the driving but it was still a very tiring day. Because my visa ran out on 10th January and we wanted to stay in Sydney for…
I unexpectedly had wifi in a campsite so I’m scheduling this post quickly before my time limit runs out 🙂 Today (or last week by time this goes live) we had a day out on Fraser Island. We arrived in Hervey Bay late the night before and managed to find ourselves a campsite (thank you…
We spent one of our last days in Sydney renting a car and driving up to the Northern Beaches. Our first stop was the highest point of Palm Beach where they film Home and Away. It was an amazing day weather wise with the temperature over 30 degrees. The sea was relatively calm so we…
January January saw us take the 24 hour flight half way around the world to start our year long adventure down under. February In February I tagged along with some friends to the epic evening that was White Night on the streets of Melbourne. Melbourne is often voted the best city in the World to…
Just a quick one to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I hope you all had a great evening celebrating wherever you are in the world. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening, watching the Sydney fireworks with friends 🙂 It was truly magical and a beautiful way to end our time here in Sydney. I…

As promised here’s part two of our trip away last weekend to the Hunter Valley. We hired bikes from a local company who very kindly dropped them off at our villa for us and then picked them up the day after. I would highly recommend doing this if you ever stay in the Hunter Valley….
Last weekend Stew and I joined our best friends Alicia and Jonny on a little road trip to the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney. The Hunter Valley is a beautiful wine region containing some of the best vineyards in the whole of Australia. The scenery is just fantastic with rolling hills, acres of vines, farm…
When we climbed the Sydney Harbour bridge with my parents last month we were given free tickets to climb up one of the huge stone pylons supporting the bridge to a great lookout spot. Of course on our one day off it was overcast! Typical! In fact after climbing up lots of steps, reading all…
For the past couple of weeks Sydney’s Hyde Park has been home to the annual Night Noodle Markets. Stew and I popped along last Monday, and it was so good I went back a second time with friends on Thursday! The most unusual dish we tasted was the markets famous rice and ramen burgers. The…
Last Monday was a public holiday here in Sydney so we met up with some friends and headed to the Blue Mountains a couple of hours out of the city. A 6.45am wake up call on a bank holiday isn’t the best feeling but after a 2 hour train journey it was well worth it….
