Bao Down, I bow down now to your awesome food and mural designs. Fleetingly I wondered how a yum Bao restaurant would fit the Mount Coolum shopping centre. Don’t get me wrong I love this shopping centre – it has my favourite hippy shop, Dragonfly Dreaming just two shops away from Bao Down. But I […]
As this year draws to a close, I’ve been thinking how Creating a new life on the Sunshine Coast led us to experience Slow Travel, Road Trips and more. 2017 started with the move from our home of 60 years in Townsville where both Marty and I were born and where we raised our two […]
The Sunshine Coast in Queensland has a stellar line-up of sun-soaked beaches stretching 65 km north from Caloundra to the celebrated holiday destination of Noosa. Most people visit Noosa and the Noosa National Park, so it makes perfect sense to combine the two in a Noosa National Park Walk from Sunshine Beach to Noosa Heads. […]

Our family are serial Sunshine Coast holiday-makers and no Robinson holiday is over without first having visited Eumundi Market, at least once.

For those who didn’t know, we’ve uprooted ourselves from our home town of some sixty years and relocated to the Sunshine Coast just 98 km north of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, the Sunshine State. It was a big move distance-wise, some 1,243 kilometres by road in fact, but in other ways it feels so […]
Australia has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and Coolum on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland is a real beauty. Queensland’s Sunshine Coast stretches 55 km from Caloundra near the top of Bribie Island in the South to iconic Noosa in the north. Coolum is the name of a beachside town, beach […]
We arrived home from Ten Weeks in Europe, on July 1st and instead of moping around for weeks afterward like I usually do, I have been quite excited. As you may have guessed there were travel related reasons for this weirdness. We took delivery of a brand new caravan just before we went overseas and there […]
It is hard to believe that we are well into the month of December. The perfect to time to reflect on our year of travel. I’ve made a coffee so why don’t you join me for a recap of Budget Travel Talk from November 2013 to November 2014. November 2013 We returned to Australia […]
