I’m lucky that my Mum loves Australia and so likes to come and visit. And equally lucky that we get on so well and love travelling together! This time she came in July though, when it’s unpleasantly cold in Sydney. It’s not cold like a british winter, but the houses here aren’t designed to keep […]

New York! My friend Cheryl and I like to plan trips together, where we meet “in the middle” between her home in Bristol and mine in Sydney. Although not really in the middle-New York was way closer to her, it was an awesome holiday for two girlfriends who hadn’t hung out together for ages and […]
I seriously love getting away into the heat at Winter. It’s one of my Australian resolutions that I will definately stick to. This time my friend Angela came with me and having both been there before seperately, we were confident that we could improvise. We started with a couple of days in Litchfield, sleeping in […]
I decided to take full advantage of my private school having a longer holiday than the other schools in July and flew straight from Darwin to Adelaide for another mini adventure. It was cold, but we were more prepared for it than in Sydney at least. Rented a nice cosy cottage in the Barossa Valley […]
July is miserably cold in Sydney. The actual temperatures are nothing compared to English winters, but the houses are not built to keep warmth in so it feels cold inside, which can really suck at times! Therefore I have resolved to go north and get warm whenever the July holidays come around. I still make […]
Mum arrived just before my Easter break. After a trip down to relatives on the south coast, with a day of luck at the Nowra races, we decided to head up the coast to Byron Bay. I have a soft spot for this beach town, recommended to me by my Dad, but Mum had missed […]
After a fun Christmas and New Year with ex pats, all together on the beach complete with decorated “sandmen”, I took my next visitor to see the highlights up the east coast. We started at Hervey Bay, where unfortunately a cyclone had just passed by so Fraser Island was closed to self drive visitors (what […]
Heading back to Australia for real life, rather than backpacking, I chose to fly Korean Air. Lovely airline, with the benefit of have a stopover in Seoul. So I decided to spend a few days there and have a little look around. I was really glad I did. The snow on the ground made everything […]
Well, on the way back to UK, I had an interesting couple of weeks in Hong Kong and mainland China with my friend Cheryl. We stayed in the “mid levels” area on Hong Kong Island, and could use the 20 escalators from the centre of town to get up the steep hills home-except that they shut […]
Well, I think I left you in Magnetic island. The weather didn’t stay bad for long, and I hired a bike to explore the island and all it’s little bays. Should have really taken notice of the woman’s warnings about hills!! It gave me a bit of a work out anyway, and made me appreciate the rest stops […]
