A Blue Mountains day trip is the perfect way to escape from the busy Sydney and recharge in nature. It’s crazy to think this slice of heaven is so close to the most populous city in Australia! Just 1.5 to 2 hours away, this region is packed with beautiful landscapes, epic hikes, waterfalls, lookouts, and…
Windy Harbour (WA) is a small settlement surrounded by the stunning D’Entrecasteaux National Park. The town itself is a series of small shacks with a caravan park, but the scenery surrounding is breathtaking. The beaches are unspoiled and serene, while the towering cliffs make for the most epic hikes. But it’s called Windy Harbour for…
We’ve been road-tripping Australia since 2020, with most of that time spent exploring Western Australia’s coastline. From popular spots to off-the-beaten-path gems, we’ve seen it all! Our 4WD has taken us from Cape Leveque in Broome to Exmouth, down the Coral Coast, through Perth, Margaret River, Esperance, and beyond. So believe us when we tell…
I’ve done the Dutchman’s Stern hike twice – first in 2010, and then again in 2017. The views are SO impressive – they must be for me to go through the same long hike twice! The endless panorama of rolling mountains, rocks and totally deadly-looking roads is mindblowing. Plus, it’s not every day you see a…
The Grampians wildflowers are one of the many highlights of south eastern Australia during spring. This iconic national park bursts into colour, with over 1,000 species of wildflowers calling the region home! The season typically kicks off in late August and runs through mid-November, with each area offering something a little different. But no matter…
Honestly, the best sunsets in Australia are easy to find. Road trip almost anywhere downunder, and sooner or later the three main conditions for a great sunset will come together – wide open spaces, a big sky, and a prop (or two). That’s according to me, anyway. I’ve been road-tripping around Oz for YEARS, discovering…
Canal Rocks is a must-see spot on the south west coast of Western Australia, near Yallingup. It’s a group of ancient and massive granite rocks, shaped by the forces of the Indian Ocean and the wind. This relentless erosion created the canals and the narrow channel we can see today. There’s a set of boardwalks…
Rottnest Island (also known as Wadjemup and Rotto) is one of the most famous destinations in Western Australia and it’s just a short ferry ride from Perth. We’ve been there twice and absolutely love it! However, the island is also famous for being expensive… The food is very pricey, not to mention you’ll have to…
We know first-hand how hard it is to pick a whale shark tour – most are really good, have raging reviews, and offer similar experiences. We’ve booked two whale shark tours in Exmouth, plus have lived in Western Australia most our lives! We’ve also visited the Ningaloo Reef more times than we can count. So…
The Scenic Rim isn’t just another spot for a quick escape! It’s a place where you’ll find something new around every corner. It’s in south east Queensland, just over an hour from Brisbane – perfect for a weekend away. But honestly, there’s so much going on there that you’ll want to stay longer. From stunning…
