Two Week Road Trip from Tourquay (Victoria) to Adelaide (South Australia) via the Great Ocean Road and Kangaroo Island
After deciding that spring was the ideal time to tackle some of Australia's best known tourist destinations, the hard part was trying to pack a lot of amazing sights into a limited time frame. In the end I spent 2 weeks doing the core sightseeing journey from Tourquay to Adelaide and home, but was away from New South Wales (NSW) for 3 weeks. The extra time included driving from Goulburn to Tourquay and spending a few days there before the main road trip. I organised one excur

Two Week Road Trip to see Lake Eyre and The Flinders Ranges (NSW to SA)
When I heard that Lake Eyre, which is normally dry, would have the most water in decades in 2025, it inspired a two week road trip from New South Wales (NSW) to outback South Australia (SA) in August. I’ve been into the outback before but not self-driving, and not outback SA. Coming from NSW, I was excited about driving across remote parts of NSW, Victoria, and SA, to explore the Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre. Driving NSW to SA Day 1, we left Goulburn for a lunch stop in Temo

Visiting North Stradbroke Island Was Better Than Expected
Spending some time in Brisbane in March I wanted to take the opportunity to go somewhere new. I tried two day trips from Brisbane, one to Moreton Island which was good but negatively impacted by weather, whereas my visit to North Stradbroke Island was exceptional despite less than ideal conditions. I booked with Hit The Road Tours and it was a very well organised day. The scenery was better than expected, as was the wildlife viewing. Although there was a bit of rain on the d

The Ideal Caravan Location in Sydney
After picking up the caravan in January with a view to doing longer Aussie trips including the big lap, the next step was to spend a week away to get used to it and test things out. I chose the Northern Beaches of Sydney for the week in February as it's a comfortable 3 hour drive from home, and gave me a fantastic opportunity to catch up with Sydney friends, family, and colleagues. Living in Sydney for over 20 years, and in the Northern Beaches (Dee Why) for more than 10 of t

What to See in One Week on the Yorke Penninsula in South Australia
With a short trip to Adelaide planned for January I decided it was the ideal time for my first visit to the Yorke Penninsula. Knowing I only had a free week the drive across from NSW was done in two days, with overnight stays in Wagga Wagga NSW and Mildura VIC. In Wagga Wagga I'd booked the International Hotel and was initially disappointed to find out the onsite restaurant at the time was closed, however, on the opposite corner is the Farmers Home Hotel which was perfect for

Fiji Break
I had a week's break in Fiji in March, in between chemotherapy sessions, and it was a real relief to get away. The thought of coming back for more sessions was always in the back of my mind though, and I am really looking forward to travelling again when I am cancer free and able to celebrate the start of my next chapter. I've been to Fiji a few times and I have always been amazed by the beauty of the Fijian people, they are genuinely the nicest I've met anywhere. We stayed a

African Safari Adventures - Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania
I flew into South Africa early July to commence a month long series of safari adventures in South-Central Africa and East Africa. It was my second safari focused trip to Africa and I'd love to go again. I thought my first trip would be my 'once in a lifetime' safari trip and it did not disappoint! I explored a number of amazing camps in Southern Tanzania, and was very excited about the opportunity to go again. On both trips I travelled with friends from Argentina who are Afri
