The stunning Whitsunday Islands off-shore from Airlie Beach in Queensland, mid-way on the iconic Great Barrier Reef, are more numerous than just the four world famous resort islands of Hayman, Hamilton, Daydream and Long Islands.

The weather was perfect for snorkelling and fishing at Pelorus Island, just half an hour from the fishing town of Lucinda near Ingham in North Queensland. Where is Lucinda? Lucinda is the perfect distance from Townsville.  The road trip, towing our 4.75 aluminium runabout, is long enough to give a going on holiday feel and …

People think we’re crazy when we tell them we spent a month in Vietnam without doing a Halong Bay cruise. Sometimes I can’t believe it myself – I mean it is at the top of most Vietnam to do lists. But then I relax and remember – we chose Lan Ha Bay over Halong Bay …

Some friends and I were brain storming the other day about blogging projects. As Humpback whales are currently moving up the east Coast of Queensland for the whale watching season Gold Coast, our decision was easy – Lets Go Humpback Whale Watching Gold Coast! The Gold Coast is known for it’s theme parks, but I …

We were guests on board the Lady Douglas, a purpose built riverboat, reminiscent of the smaller of the Murray River paddle steamers in Victoria and New South Wales.  But we’d swapped the muddy Murray for the tropical mangroves of Dickson Inlet in Port Douglas, North Queensland. Dickson Inlet looking out to sea. Water is our element …

Stand with me for five minutes on Istanbul’s Galata Bridge amidst the fishermen with their long rods and look toward the Asian Shore.  It takes a while before a visitor here comes to terms with all the water. Flowing beneath us are the waters of the Golden Horn; in front and left the Bosphorus Straits …

We decided on the spur of the moment to visit Kampong Pluk a fishing village on Tonle Sap some 30 km south-east of Siem Reap in Cambodia. [pinit] During three weeks in Cambodia in 2013 we spent four days in Siem Reap. Our spontaneous decision was made on a day trip to Beng Melea, an impressive ruined …
