Day 5 – The Most Morbidly Interesting Island You Could Imagine

Thankfully, 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 […]

Day 4 – Fancy some Bundi?

We’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 […]

Day 3 – Wildlife Everywhere

Todays 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 […]

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 […]

Day 1 – Travel Day to Sunny Queensland!

It feels so good to be back out and exploring again! We started our travel day at about 9 o’clock where we got a lift to the airport for our 11.30 flight. The airports in Australia have been a bit silly recently. With wait times for security lines being reported at over an hour, it […]

Japanese Treat in Montrose

This post may be a little different to my usual post – this is a review mixed in a blog. A few months ago for my 30th, our close group of friends gifted me a voucher for Drew and I to visit Japanese Mountain Retreat Mineral Springs & Spa in Montrose, which is a little […]

Cactus Country

As many adventures start, we saw this gorgeous attraction on social media, and my friend Tiaarin and I knew we had to make a day of it and see a unique site in south east Australia, Cactus Country. From Melbourne, we had just under a 3 hour drive north to Strathmerton, which is near the […]

Day 14 – Tokyo Temples Done Quick 2019

17,620 steps taken Today’s plans were nice and simple; head to the Pokemon Center and Nakano Broadway to appease the inner gamers in us. We were headed towards the Tokyo Pokemon Center DX (Deluxe) by 10.30. This is supposed to be the biggest one in Japan! It was pretty impressive, as it holds an entire […]
