Howdy all! You probably didn’t know, but I’ve been away this week! I worked a little ahead of schedule so that there were posts this week. But now I’m all caught up and I need to post afresh! So I thought I’d start with a little recap of my last week. My wife and I …

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 …
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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …
