Last year I was flicking through Pinterest and ended up on a mainstream website that had all these travel tips and advice for hotels. Some of it was the usual stuff like knowing where your emergency exits are and checking that your door actually does lock – all pretty fair, logical and safe. […]
Travel Comforts DIY
I did a lot of my traveling when I was in school – which was now a little while ago! In recent years I’ve been staying in the one place for work and study, but that doesn’t meant the travel bug isn’t still gnawing away at me. One thing I do get a bit particular […]
Nundah Fresh Farmers Markets
Brisbane and its suburbs have a huge selection of markets for the population. I think it’s safe to say that markets, particularly farmers markets, have been a very successful enterprise in and around South East Queensland. I actually lived in Nundah years ago when these markets were first introduced. They were very busy at […]
Seaworld, I Forgive You!
I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for a good, chilled out ride at a theme park. It’s nice to have a little time sitting down, preferably in the shade in the midst of a hectic day of thrill seeking. At Seaworld (www.seaworld.com.au) on the Gold Coast, this ride was the Bermuda Triangle for me. It was […]
Cedar Creek
Mid last year, I was whisked away by my then-day-job to Mount Tamborine for two days and one night of corporate …well, I won’t talk about that part of it. Corporate retreats aren’t usually my thing. I will thank them for a gorgeous setting though. If you’re curious, I haven’t been paid to write this. Work […]
One Ultimate Day Around the Gold Coast
After the ProBlogger Event, I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a participant in the Travel Bloggers Beware pop up experience, organised by Queensland Tourism. We had an incredibly FUN day, but busy! If you have one day to spend on the Gold Coast, I couldn’t recommend what we did enough. I […]
Centenary Place Park – Fortitude Valley
As a city worker for years now, I like to take any opportunity I can to get into Brisbane’s parks and relax in my lunch breaks. Centenary Place was a park that I had been past many times, but never actually been to! So I took the opportunity to go for a little walk one day. […]
Small Planes
Small Planes Yesterday I went in the smallest plane I’ve ever been in (at least in my memory – could have been in smaller as a kid & not know it). It was a Dash 8 propellor plane on a short Qantas flight. The main thing I noticed was the annoying person next […]
Einbunpin Lagoon Sandgate
Einbunpin Lagoon Sandgate A great local spot for a quick walk or weekend picnic is Enibunpin Lagoon in Sandgate. I’ve never called it by it’s official name – I’ve always called the Sandgate Lagoon. For the traveller/technology addict – good news! This park has free WiFi! This park […]
Kite Fest 2013
Last weekend was the annual Redcliffe Kite Fest (http://kitefest.com.au/). It had some big changes this year, including paid entry & a focus on food. It was hugely successful from what I could see – after all there were queues to get in! While the local council sets up parking at a showgrounds and has […]
