Toowoomba, located just 125 km west of Brisbane in the Darling Downs, is a Tardis of a town. It’s 19th century buildings and heritage listed 96-year-old dunny so perfectly preserved could we could easily be convinced that we’ve stepped back in time. But to shake things up a little, these icons of another age share […] Read more…

In my decidedly inexpert opinion, holidays are the fountain of youth. Research shows that holidays can cut blood pressure, aid in better sleep better and relieve stress.

And don’t even get me started […] Read more…
Having visited The Reef several times, I know there is a risk, despite it’s beauty, that the kids could get hot, tired and whiney spending a whole day on the water. And that the long boat trip required to reach the reef may result in those convenient on board sick bags being activated! So, to experience a little reef magic while keeping […] Read more…
