My travel plans usually prioritise a bit of luxury along the way, stays to look forward to after a few “on budget” accoms 🙂 Tasmania provided for quite a few such opportunities, albeit a saw a number of others that…
Road Trip Tasmania
Tasmania (Tassie) is the southern island state of Australia, often stunningly beautiful, with diverse landscapes and unique fauna. (Tassie Devils) A 12,000+ km road trip from Queensland (QLD) was always going to be ambitious, especially in these Covid times where…
Hike Carnarvon Gorge Queensland

Social distancing & travel
Hi fellow (house bound) travellers. Well this certainly changed the calendar ! Sooo glad I got-in my Great Ocean Road adventure before lockdown. I was about to book a flight to New Zealand for a driving road trip there in…
The Great Ocean Road-Trip
When I started planning this roadtrip, the bushfires in New South Wales were not as catastrophic as they became during my journey, and even with websites updating road closures and detours, things were happening quickly with strong winds causing embers…
