Howdy all. Bringing back to my home city today, and yesterday I spent a awesome afternoon with fellow travel-blogger and friend of the blog, Tim Blight. Our task was to head up Melbourne’s tallest building – the Eureka Tower, to the 88th floor for a view of smoky Melbourne. The Eureka tower is just under …
Hi all. Last month when I was at Noosa I took a walk down to Tea Tree Bay. Who should I see there? This little fella. Well, I'm only guessing he was a fella. I identified the bird later as the Australian Bush Turkey. I'm not sure if you would eat this turkey, but he …
Some times you need a holiday. A vacation. And not an adventure, not one that involves going to places you’ve never been before, organising visas, staying in… unique accommodation. Sometimes you just need a break, and that’s what heading to Noosa was all about for me this year. I’d been back over six months since …
A couple of weeks back, my wife I were holidaying in Queensland. I might have previously mentioned. It included 3 nights in Noosa Heads and one night in Brisbane. It was an interesting city to return as I’ve only been once I think, and that was in 1988 to ‘Expo ‘88’. That time I was …
Hey all. Well it’s official, I think. I think I hate my home airport, Melbourne’s Tullamarine. There are plenty of reasons not to like it, but after my last trip there, I’m pretty much fed up. There are two pressing issues with Melbourne’s main international airport. The first is the distance. Having to get there …
Last week I headed up to the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, where I stayed at the RACV Resort there. Even Australians may well not be aware that the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (and also Queensland – RACQ) ran resorts, but they do! Searching online I found that this was one place that seemed to …
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 …

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. Many thanks to Sarah for this great article! And for giving me a chance to 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 …
Hi All! A little shout out to a place I went a little while ago, and a place I’ve been a few times in this ol’ life, the Healesville Sanctuary, which is around 75 – 90 minutes from Melbourne. Whilst you will find a number of really good zoos in many cities in Australia, I …
