Robe has been a popular destination in my part of Australia for as far as I can remember. Be it a summer holiday, to celebrate the new year or just relax along the stunning Robe foreshore with a bundle of fish and chips. It’s the perfect little coastal stop off and with a view like this right in middle of town its easy to see why huh?

Moving To London
Moving to London was more daunting than any other move I’d ever undertaking in my life. Before I’d move to study or relocate to the city because it’s just what you do. But moving 2 hours drive from home or even another state in Australia is nothing compared to moving to London, one the biggest international cities around on the other side of the world. In the interest of helping […]

Anzac Day at Gallipoli, Turkey
Anzac Day… one of the most solemn days for any Australian or New Zealander as we stop to remember our fallen soldiers at Gallipoli in Turkey during the First World War. The battle at Gallipoli lasted some 8 months between the Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and the Turkish Ottoman’s who were allied with Germany at the time. On just the Australian side over 8000 lives were lost […]

Bank Accounts and National Insurance Numbers
Before I planned my big moving to London adventure I was concerned about all the paperwork I’d have to fill out just to work here. Bank Accounts I understood, but the National Insurance Number seemed completely foreign to me. The National Insurance Number (think Tax File Number Australians) is required by your employer and while used for tax purposes it also gets you access to free health services should you […]
Read More...What Motivated Me To Travel
Talk to anybody who’s in love with travel and they will list off destinations, people, activities and much more as reasons that keep them motivated to travel. That kind of excitement is infectious and is something that got me to move from thinking about travel to actually planning and setting off to see Europe. Before that though you need that initial instigator to push your train of thought into one […]
MacKenzie Falls
MacKenzie Falls in the Grampians is perhaps the most impressive waterfall in the entire area. It’s located about 30 minutes drive from Halls Gap along the equally impressive Mount Victory Road which winds its way upwards along narrow twisting roads. Even if you don’t want to see the falls I highly recommend the drive but be sure your car has the power to handle the climb. Upon reaching Mackenzie Falls […]
Tips For An American Road Trip
We’ve all watched movies about taking off on that great American road trip. Some were great movies others were well.. not. Still even as an Australian I loved the idea of taking off on the road with a couple of friends to explore and get a feel for the big old US of A. Now I can finally say I’ve had the chance to experience that little dream while in […]
Portree Harbour, Isle of Skye
Portree Harbour is surrounded by cliffs which sets a stunning view for anybody looking to take a stroll along the waters edge and wharf. Portree itself is the biggest town on the Isle of Skye and a really quaint place to stop off and spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world. I can also recommend a quick bite at Cafe Arriba […]
The Australian Dollar And What It Means For Travel
I was born way back in the early eighties when one Australian dollar got you a huge bag of chips from the local fish and chip shop, you could buy bags of lollies from the corner shop for as little as fifty cents and fuel didn’t cost you an arm and a leg. How times have changed for my beloved Australia and for the traveller looking to come and explore […]
