I get numerous questions from many friends and YouTube subscribers alike about where exactly Alice and I went along Australia’s East Coast and which places we would recommend. Here’s the full breakdown of where we stopped off at and which places you can’t miss. Melbourne – Cairns 1. Melbourne We first flew into Melbourne which was by far […]
I Jumped out of an Aeroplane!
Let’s talk about the time I jumped at 14,000 ft… When Alice and I were planning the activities we would be doing in Australia, skydiving was definitely on the agenda. Unlike Alice, I’m not a definite adrenaline-junkie but if I was going to do one in my lifetime at all, Australia would be the place to […]
The Greyhound Hop-on Hop-off Pass | Australia’s East Coast
A lot of people have asked me how I got around in Australia and this post is dedicated to telling you 🙂 What did we get? Alice and I both opted for the Greyhound Sydney-Cairns Hop-on Hop-off pass which (I think?) was priced at $425 AUD at the time but I know we paid £213. […]
Fraser Island Part I | Cool Dingo Tours
Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island and a stop off along Australia’s east coast that shouldn’t be missed. So Alice and I booked onto the Cool Dingo Tour and were picked up promptly at 7:50am from the Rainbow Beach tourist office. The coach drove us to the ferry pick-up and after a very […]
A night in Rainbow Beach
After our two hours of riding the waves back in Noosa, we jumped on the Greyhound bus up to Rainbow Beach for the night. It was such a mad rush that our bikinis still hadn’t had time to properly dry and our hair was still soaking wet but oh well, that’s backpacker life for you. We arrived in […]
Surfing with Go Ride a Wave | Noosa
So we’d been in Australia for almost six weeks and still hadn’t had a go at surfing yet, crazy huh?! The weather in Byron Bay was pretty bad when we stayed so having a surf lesson there was a no-no and the only other place where we would have the opportunity to do so was in Noosa. When Go Ride […]
Brisbane: the city and the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
The wifi here in Bali has been comme ci comme ça and it has taken forever to upload all of these images so I apologise for the delay in posting, ah! We were only in Brisbane for a couple of days but I actually really liked the city. I only got to walk around the central […]
Surfers Paradise, Oz
What do you think of when you hear ‘Surfers Paradise‘? Sun, sand and surfers – right? Well, kinda… We weren’t sure what to expect from Surfers Paradise as we had heard mixed reviews. Some loved the fact that there were beaches right in the middle of a city whilst others almost hated it. What’s my view? […]
The Koala Hospital | Port Macquarie
Our main reason for stopping off in Port Macquarie was their koala hospital (that plus we wanted to break up to Sydney to Byron journey – 16 hours or something awful). So once we had woken up and eaten our breakfast (absolutely free thanks to the communal food at our hostel!) we directed ourselves to the […]
Three days before Christmas | Sydney
Firstly, I apologise for how delayed these posts are but: In the run up to Christmas and since moving away from Sydney there has been no time at all to sit down and write these posts (I have a backlog so there are more to come). There hasn’t been any reliable wifi. I wasn’t comfortable […]
