Trying to work out how to get to the Melbourne beach boxes? I have been to Melbourne many times over the years, but I had never been down to Brighton Beach to see the iconic Melbourne bathing boxes. There are 82 of these colourful little huts all lined up on...
While I was looking for what to do in Tasmania, the idea of some short day trips from Hobart, Australia arose. When I did some research, the historic Richmond village caught my eye. While Richmond is just one of the many historic towns Tasmania has to offer, this one...
Mention Port Adelaide to an Australian and they will probably tell you about either their love or hatred of the Australian Rules football team. They might also know it’s near the water and has a maritime history. There is a lot more to the area than that though,...
One of the most popular suburbs to stay in when visiting Australia’s city of Gold Coast is Broadbeach. It’s a little bit out of the main Surfer’s Paradise strip but with good transport connections, and the location of the casino, convention centre...
This may be one of the strangest blog posts I have ever written, because, let me say it right up front, I don’t drink beer! Sure, I come from a long line of beer drinkers, and my dad, brother, husband and even my daughter do their fair share towards keeping the...

Recently we visited the Red Centre of Australia for a few days. As an add-on to our tour, we chose to spend a night at Field of Light, Uluru. Here’s a quick Field of Light review, including what it is, and a few photos. What is the Field of Light? The Field of...
I always had in my mind that one day I would visit Uluru, Australia. It would probably be on a road trip, quite possibly once I was retired. Or maybe I would fly to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory and hire a car to drive myself to explore Uluru and the...
Uluru is one of those iconic Australian landmarks that is often on the itinerary of international visitors. For Australians though, it is often on that “I’ll get there one day” list. There are two main, inter-twined, reasons for this – the...
