If I am being honest, I found Karijini National Park when I mistyped Kalbarri. A small mistake that led to a great adventure. We were planning a trip from Perth up to Exmouth and Karijini quickly became part of our plans. We did not have a four wheel drive and we were not sure about…

Having heard so much about Milford Sound, that was always on our list for South Island NZ. However, while doing some research on the best cruise to do, I discovered Doubtful Sound, the far less well-known ‘sibling’ near Manapouri. Thank goodness we did. I don’t want to get your hopes too high so all I…

Cradle Mountain National Park is a must-do if you’re in Tasmania and like hiking and/or wildlife. We visiting in February 2025 for a day and had an awesome day. We were staying in Launceston and we weren’t sure how much ground we would manage to cover, so I thought I’d write a quick blog in…

Here’s a small sample to give you some ideas.   Helicopter flight over the Franz Josef glacier It’s not the cheapest but it’s amazing. You have to be lucky with the weather is notoriously wet on the…

If you’re in Coral Bay, WA, you can snorkel straight from Bill’s Beach. The sea life is beautiful and I would recommend it but the coral is quite bleached and it can be pretty busy. However, I had the best snorkelling of my life (so far!) down at Five Fingers Reef. I highly recommend heading…
