Like most Aussie kids, I’ll never knock back the opportunity to scoff down a schnitty and chips. So, when I was told about the Feed the Family feast at The Bavarian – resplendent as it with four golden schnitzels – I whisked my family straight in to the nearest location. Without trying to sound boastful, […] Read more…
A dazzling coastal gem situated an hour north of Port Macquarie along the mid north coast of NSW, the little seaside town of South West Rocks punches well above it’s weight when it comes to family holiday fun. Fringed by beaches so beautifully blue they appear painted, the sandy swirls of tidal waterways, towering norfolk […] Read more…
Sure, we expected sun, sand and sea but we didn’t expect pirates! Two of them, as fierce as can be, lurching around a shipwrecked galleon, battling the twisting tentacles of a kraken and the blasts of water cannons. OK, so the pirates are small and BYO, but NRMA South West Rocks Holiday Resort’s Shipwreck Island […] Read more…
It’s taken me a few days to write this post, because it’s taken me a few days to digest, both physically and mentally, what has to be one of the biggest, and most delicious meals I can remember, at the amazing Manjits Wharf. With a little assistance from mum, I worked my way through a […] Read more…
Written by Raff – Aged 12 Like everyone else, my feet have been pretty itchy since our planned travels got stopped by COVID in 2020. So much so that a visit to NRMA Sydney Lakeside Holiday Park, which isn’t much more than 30 minutes from home, had me so hyped you could be forgiven for […] Read more…
On the road to Mayfield Garden, skittish spring lambs bounce across undulating hills blanketed in yellow canola blooms. Flower-laden acacia trees, their leaves sagging under the weight of wattle flowers, punctuate the road side in golden sorority. Adding a touch of flamboyance to the vibrant scene, flame-hued bottlebrush direct us into a moody forest of gnarled […] Read more…
Pavlova is always a good idea. Whether it’s for festive feasting, family gatherings or just because… pavlova, the marvellous meringue is a staple on dessert tables Down Under, and though it appears infrequently on our own, it’s always been a favourite of the kids. With my ooky spooky duo busy conjuring up cobwebs for Halloween, […] Read more…
After a couple of challenging months, this somewhat stalled travelling circus was in ready to shake things up a bit. In desperate need for a change of scenery, Raffles suggested camping while Sugarpuff suggested we go ‘everywhere ever’. Me? I just wanted to breathe in a little fresh country air. Which is how we found […] Read more…
We love camping as much as the next family but given our propensity to think through our stomachs, we tend to put as much thought and effort into planning our camp menu as we do into choosing a destination, and despite the restrictions of an esky and a single burner camp stove or fire, never […] Read more…
With its vast shimmering lake, pick of pristine coastal beaches, swathes of unspoiled wilderness, and a cornucopia of quiet and cosy holiday towns – all just 90 minutes by road from Sydney, and 45 minutes from the heart of the Hunter Valley’s wineries – there’s no shortage of things to do in Lake Macquarie […] Read more…
Raff is never happier than when he’s in a restaurant kitchen, learning tips and tricks about his favourite dishes from his favourite chefs, and pilfering the spoils to stuff down his neck. And Mhu Grob Padt Prik Khing (stir fried crisp pork belly in spicy red curry paste) and Chat Thai Gateway’s Chef Oat are […] Read more…
While the garden of earthly delights that is Thailand used to be just a plane ride away, it is sadly out of reach for the immediate future. But the kids and I are hankering after the scent of temples filled with burning incense sticks and fragrant flower garlands. Oh, what we wouldn’t do for […] Read more…
Endless golden beaches, lush hinterlands abundant with wildlife, fab food and wine and Australia’s best weather? What’s not to love about dazzling Port Macquarie, home to the Birpai Aboriginal peoples for millennia, and modern day tourist hotspot. From high-adrenalin speed boat rides to gentle river cruises and wild water parks, historic theme parks to traditional […] Read more…
A virtual visit to South Africa calls for more South African snacks. Because we can’t possibly head on safari or visit all out favourite haunts without bringing our tastebuds along for the ride. And with a 2pm AEST start for today’s sofa safari, coinciding with afternoon tea, we thought it was time to whip up […] Read more…
While we may not be able to visit South Africa in the immediate future, there’s nothing stopping us from inviting South Africa to visit us! There are dozens of new and interactive ways to enjoy all the riches that incredible South Africa has to offer from your sofa. It’s no secret my kids fell head […] Read more…
A Sri Lankan-style breakfast is amongst the greatest meals this asbestos-tongued foodie has had the pleasure of meeting and eating. And, in my opinion, the undisputed stars of this Sri Lankan morning show are Sri Lankan egg hoppers. Even in the morning Sri Lankan cuisine is fuelled by chilli, curry leaves, cinnamon and black pepper. […] Read more…
Australia’s National Capital was established on the traditional land of the Ngunnawal peoples and was also a significant meeting place for neighbouring clans, including the Ngarigo, Wolgalu, Gundungurra, Yuin and Wiradjuri people. Artefacts and oral histories tell us that these clans gathered here for ceremonies, trading and marriages, for well over 20,000 years. Canberra’s very […] Read more…
New Zealand and I share more than a bit of history! You see, not only was my beautiful mama born and raised there, but it was the very first overseas destination I ever visited, and it has drawn me back again and again. But our most recent visit was a first time for my little […] Read more…
To those who ask me (and I am asked, with astounding frequency) what the point of travelling and exposing my children to different cultures and people at such a young age is? Let me tell you a little story. The EatsWorlds and a giant plastic pineapple named Johnny (don’t ask) are visiting the National Capital, […] Read more…
When Mum first explained to me the concept behind Raclette, I thought it was far too good to be true. Seriously, what could possibly be better than a variety of charcuterie, steaming potatoes, pickles and fresh salad… covered in wads of oozing melted cheese? I was drooling just talking about it, so when she told […] Read more…
Yeah, yeah, I know everybody screams for ice-cream, right? But trust me when I say you have never screamed as loud as you will over the ice cream at Frugii Dessert Laboratory. In fact, I screamed so loudly after my first visit that we returned to Canberra two weeks later just for a fix. Yep, […] Read more…
“Whoa, what even is this place?” asks my awestruck daughter as we walk past the hulking industrial remains of a grain silo on Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. “Are we sleeping in a factory?” The short answer is yes. Well, at least it used to be. Once an ugly industrial complex of derelict concrete grain silos, […] Read more…
