Richmond is a beautiful and historic place that I feel we need to come back to give an appropriate amount of time to. As we were driving to the Richmond bridge area for today’s festivities, I fell more and more in love with it. Old cottages and green hills, the bridge itself is the oldest […]
Read MoreToday started at 5.30am. The mad rush to leave the house before a flight for some reason always surprises me. House preparation, dog preparation, last minute packing and, for early ones at least, just attempting to wake up and human enough to function. Our flight was at 8.40, and Virgin Australia was right on time! […]
Read MoreI don’t think I’ve had a trip so far where illness hasn’t reared its head; this trip has been no exception. We had a quiet day planned for today anyway, nothing booked or paid for. Originally we were going to go walking in the Glass Mountains, but since 3/4 people in our party are crook […]

Read MoreAfter yesterdays fiasco, we had a fairly quiet day today. I think our body clocks are in line with the sun currently, so we’ve got a habit of being up and ready early. So by 8 o’clock we were packing the car and getting ready for our 3 hour trip to Mooloolaba, with a stop […]
Read MoreThankfully, we went to sleep pretty early last night which helped immensely at 5.40 when our alarms went off this morning. Today was another opportunity for us to tick off another UNESCO World Heritage Site – The Great Barrier Reef! We did this with a day tour with Lady Musgrave Experience out to a pontoon […]
Read MoreWe’ve all become accustomed to the early starts; this was made obvious today by the fact that we were all up and packed and ready to leave our Hervey Bay accommodation an hour before we had planned. Today we moved up to Bundaberg. We had an hour and a half to drive, and I still […]
Read MoreTodays original plans were changed last minute, as unfortunately the turtle boat tour we were going to go on was cancelled late yesterday due to high winds. Safety first. Without any solid plans in place, I got up relatively early and started trying to catch up on yesterdays blog. I was quickly distracted from this […]
Read More18,689 steps taken, ~140 km driven, and a World Heritage UNESCO site ticked off the bucket list. Today has been a whirlwind. It doesn’t even feel like it really happened. K’gari, originally known as The Great Sandy National Park, or Fraser Island is one of the most special natural places I have had the pleasure […]
