Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
Howdy all. Something different for a Sunday for you. I wanted to look today at the two main frequent flyer programs that exist in Australia. If you’re a frequent flyer in Australia, if you love hunting down points, well there here are your two main options. Of course, there are many other choices you could try – Emirates’ Skywards for

Yes folks, I stayed at a pretty expensive hotel when last I visited Sydney, the Radisson Blu. A splurge is not always a bad thing, and I was only staying a night, and there was a slight discount on the room, which I think I paid around $270 for including breakfast for two. I also got a whole bunch of

Flying from Australia to Europe is a long, LONG journey, and bar an experimental flight from Perth to Europe (London I think) you need to change planes at some point in the Middle East or Asia. There are many options – off the top of my head Doha, Abu Dhabi, Delhi, Colombo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Singapore and

Hi all. I’m not usually big into getting to galleries, although I will try and get to one if I’m in a place for long enough. A couple of months ago I was in Sydney as you might remember, and I went to the Gallery of New South Wales. I will freely admit I went there not by choice but

Hi all. Today we have a GUEST POST! Sarah Sackville from http://www.supboardguide.com who has written a piece about the ‘Granite Belt’ in Australia’s Great Dividing range, which pierces through the eastern part of Australia from Queensland down to Victoria.

Today I’m once again chatting to Rob Lloyd, friend of the blog who recently returned from touring the UK touring his show ‘Who, Me’ to various spots around England and its neighbours. Last night I got to see Rob’s latest show, a totally improvised show with his good friend David Innes. It was an absolute riot! And there was loads

I think there are several ACMIs around the world, and there has been one in Melbourne for many a year now, as part of Federation Square, and a few weeks back I took the opportunity to finally visit it for the first time. What is ‘ACMI’ I hear you say? It’s a museum for cinema and the ‘moving image’ (so

When travelling from Australia or eastern Asia to Europe, there are number of possible airlines and routes to get you there, and one of the most popular, usually flying Emirates, is to go via Dubai. Emirates connects a large number of European cities to a large number of Asian/Australian towns. And I always hear people wondering if they should take

If there are three main images of landmarks that foreigners associate with Australia, I’m guessing they are Uluru, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the incredible building that sits opposite it over the harbour just a tad, the Sydney Opera House. I visited at some point as a kid, I don’t really remember when exactly, but I don’t think I really

So, last weekend, I took a journey to Sydney. A very short one mind you – it was just one night. I parked at Melbourne Airport, which I’ve never done before, and took a morning flight. With a train into the centre of town, it was easy as getting into Australia’s Harbour City, and I checked into my hotel in
