Hi all. Well I heard today marks the 100th birthday of Australia's flagship air carrier, Qantas. Although I know that their service levels are not quite what they used to be, and that there are certainly 'better' airlines in the skies, Qantas remains iconic and one of the world's best to this day. And they …
Hi all. This gent has done a video about flying Jetstar, one of my least favourite airlines. It's Qantas's budget carrier and I have NEVER had a flight that wasn't delayed or had an issue with them. Enjoy! May the Journey Never End!
Yes - we're all still in lockdown in most countries across the world, so here is the third (and most likely final) in my series of lockdown stories from across the world. Today I am joined by Gino, a YouTubing travelling from Romania and the USA, friend of the blog from his own blog and …

And today I wanted to briefly look at Australia’s State and Territory capitals. Because they are Australia’s main cities I guess, although there are certainly others of size and importance. …
Hi all! Today is more of a photographic post – images from the Brisbane River of the city of the same name from the free ferry that goes up and down the river delivering people to different stops on the way – the City Hopper. As a visitor to Brisbane, it’s a great way to …
Hi all! Here in Australia we have just had a televised contest to choose the song that we will send to Europe. It was the sort of affair that completely mimicked the contest itself, and the winner was Kate Miller Heidke with 'Zero Gravity', a very Eurovision song indeed, one with that added dose of …
