As the year of 2017 is winding up, it is no surprise to anyone who knows me that I already have decided on my travel plans for next year. I’ll be writing more on those nearer the end of the year, but I have been doing a few bookings with frequent flyer points, and I …
Melbourne is regarded as a pretty big city when it comes to terms of physical size, from west to east. The truth is that parts of what are considered ‘Melbourne’ could easily be considered separate towns in their own rights.

Yes it’s THAT close now! Pretty exciting for sure. Actually it’s proven to be a very surreal time in Australia as I count down to Sunday when I fly out to Quito. But the strangest thing has happened. You may recall my posts of last year and I think the year before about going to …

Then there are the occasional sport museum, and Melbourne has its very own, at the largest and most famous sporting ground in the …
