Reviewed by Raff – Aged 13 I really miss travelling. My feet are itching like crazy and I’m desperate to get back into the world. While food, culture and the people we meet are what I have missed most of all in the year that stole travel, I also find myself really missing […] Read more…
It is, without question, Australia’s best outdoor museum and, without need of any incarnation of the venerable Dr Who or his Tardis, a visit to Sovereign Hill with kids is like travelling through time to Ballarat’s gold rush era. Spread over 25 hectares of the original alluvial goldfields, the recreation gold rush town brings the decade after the […] Read more…
They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky … not unlike their quasi-Goth mama! I’m talking, of course, about my very own gruesome twosome! Raffles and Sugarpuff are more excited than usual at the prospect of a weekend at one of our favourite Sydney “haunts”, the Novotel Sydney Central. It’s not […] Read more…
Everyone enjoys a little highland fling once in a while, right? Turns out my kids are especially keen when said flinging is flung above the treetops. We’re in the NSW Southern Highlands at the award winning Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventures, home to Australia’s premier Treetop Walk – a stunning, suspended, cantilevered one way ticket to […] Read more…
You have to love a city hotel that treats its littlest guests like VIPs or, as is the case with the Holiday Inn Potts Point, VICs – very important campers! We’re on a staycation in the city as a treat for the kids before they return to school, and we decided to do things a […] Read more…
Under the omnipresent shadow of legendary Table Mountain sits The Cape Grace Hotel, quietly oozing old world charm and sophistication. One of the world’s most luxurious and stylish hotels, the boutique Cape Grace boasts enormous individually-styled guest rooms packed with antiques and artefacts, hand-painted fabrics and bowls of breathtaking protea blooms, each offering ridiculously beautiful views […] Read more…
With tandem deadlines flying out my hoo-hah for the last six months, and a whole bunch of work travel, I’ve been working crazy hours, seven days a week. While many would say that, as a freelancer, it’s great that I am in demand (and it most definitely is) long hours and weekends on the job […] Read more…
It is not often that our garrulous family runs out of things to talk about, in fact you might say it would be harder to shut us up. But when we’re travelling, which is often, our familial chattering tends to lean more towards what we are doing right in that moment, or is just Mr […] Read more…
It has only been a few months since Tropical Cyclone Debbie hit the Whitsundays with ferocious force, but we’ve already revisited several times to soak up the sun, sand and a little family fun. And while the area has certainly undergone something of an environmental makeover, I can happily confirm that Airlie Beach, the gateway […] Read more…
Once upon a time there was a smart and sweet beauty who loved her family, cake and to dance, though not necessarily in that order. Beauty was a little upset by the behaviour of The Beast (her mother), a mean creature who had the audacity to have been working a few too many hours of late […] Read more…
With a few weeks break between our adventures; it is time for me to catch up on writing about our travels while the kids catch up on a little journeying of the imaginary kind. And where better to start their holiday from holidaying than in the crystalline splendour of the Heartestone Troll Market … with […] Read more…
Raffles and Sugarpuff, whilst incredibly curious and eager explorers, are also children of the digital age. And while I love a nice old garden, I’m almost certain they’ll be bored out of their minds, and the whining that will ensue will in turn make me lose mine. But I’m not one to miss an opportunity to […] Read more…
