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…
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…
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.

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…

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…
You know that feeling when you want Thai so bad, and then find out that there’s a Thai restaurant boasting two consecutive Chef’s Hats from the Good Food Guide, only five minutes from where you’re staying? I do! And you can bet your life I wasn’t gonna let an opportunity like that slip away. So, […] 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…
