So, you’ve decided to head ‘down under’ to Australia for the first time. Possibly a backpacking trip, possibly a more upmarket trip. What do you need to know before you go? Well, quite a few things really. But let’s see what I can brainstorm for you. Visas Okay, so yeah you need a visa to …
I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but in 2019 I’ve made a conscious decision to include (at least) one post about Australia per week. 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. …
As promised, following my visit to Melbourne’s Eureka Tower, today I present a ‘Tower Rumble’ looking at towers I have gone up myself and seeing which provided the best experience. There is nothing like going up a tower when you’re in a city – especially if it’s a new city, to see the layout of …
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 …

It HAD to come eventually, you know it did! The rumble to end all rumbles. As far as Aussies are concerned I guess. Well. Those who don’t live in Brisbane I guess. And maybe Adelaide and Perth. Anyhoo… Sydney and Melbourne both have quite a bit to offer the visitor. They are loads of little …
Hello again it’s Thursday and for the last few weeks Travel Itineraries has been my Thursday segment (despite the fact that it’s simply the most work one needs to write a darned post possible). And today I thought I’d do Australia. This will be an idealised itinerary. I haven’t set out and done a long …
