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 largest island after which the group is named, is uninhabited Whitsunday Island (275 sq km). Captain Cook named it …

Australian Stock Horse Demonstration at Gold Coast Theme Park

What the? A Queensland Theme Park called Paradise Country Farm Stay

Paradise Country Farm Stay is both a Queensland Theme Park, a Wildlife Park and a farm stay on the Gold Coast Australia. It seems odd to stay at a Gold Coast farmstay secluded amongst the Village Roadshow collection of theme parks, but that is exactly what happens at Paradise Country Farm Stay. Even stranger is …

It is too long since we’ve hunched over a bowl of piping hot Pho in VIETNAM, but lately I’ve heard snippets about Nguyen Bros Vietnamese Restaurant Maroochydore. The Sunshine Coast Daily lists them as No. 1 or fourteen new restaurants to try on the Coast. One day when the weather turned to rain and a …

As I write this, liquid sunshine is falling and my mind is wandering to food. In particular to my latest crush, Rice Boi at the wharf Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. We’ve only met that once but it was love at first bite. The Wharf Mooloolaba is a classic old venue that is …

This week, six months after our move south, we’ve returned to our home-town to visit family and attend the annual Palm Creek Folk Festival. This gave us the perfect opportunity to stay at and review Townsville Tourist and Lifestyle Village. Townsville is Australia’s largest urban centre outside of the Sunshine Coast some 1300km to the south. It shelters in …

It seems fitting to discuss the newly released book Vietnam 100 Unusual Travel Tips written by Barbara Adam and her husband Vu Vo, in a food context. After all food plays a huge role in their life in Ho Chi Minh City (lets call it Saigon for simplicity). With an especially lovely lunch of freshly …

Updated July 2018. The Heaven and Earth Bicycle Tour Hoi An was our favourite thing to do in this charming town.

Today the world can go do it’s own thing.  I am going to be Seduced by a Southern Italian – AGAIN. B.H. is still working, so as we both want to travel as a couple this leaves us with three months per year travel.  A lot by many standards, but not enough for my dreams.  …
