A few days ago, I shared this exciting news on my Facebook page and in my group and the response was huge! I knew I needed to write a post about it to share all the details. Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts has arrived at Changi Airport in Singapore for the festive... Read More
We love exploring the islands in Queensland. A favourite for us is Moreton Island because as far as Queensland holidays go, it’s so easy to hop over from Brisbane and a short ferry ride takes you to a sand island that feels a million miles away from the city. Where is... Read More
One of the big things that drew us to Brisbane was the fact that there is so much to do nearby and we knew we’d never get bored. Queensland’s Gold Coast is around an hour and a half south of the city and there are so many fun things to do on the Gold... Read More
Tamborine Mountain is one of Queensland’s gems. Tucked away in the Gold Coast hinterland, just 62 km from Brisbane Mount Tamborine (as it is also known), this lush, ancient landscape offers a range of outdoor attractions, natural scenery, manicured gardens and... Read More

We recently spent two nights at the O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat at Lamington National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland. We had the most incredible Gold Coast family holiday. O’Reilly’s Retreat had everything that we love – scenery, wildlife, peace and... Read More
In October 2017, I shared some photos from our family day out at Oktoberfest Brisbane. I had so many people messaging me what it was like for kids, so I thought I’d write an Oktoberfest Brisbane review full of my tips for Oktoberfest Brisbane on Oktoberfest... Read More
Byron Bay is one of my favourite holiday destinations in Australia and I visit whenever I get chance (you can read about one of my previous visits to Byron Bay here). My editor at Australia and New Zealand magazine just has to mention the word ‘Byron’, and... Read More
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve recently been on a little Noosa getaway with one of my good friends. I was doing research for a travel article for Australia and New Zealand magazine, so the weekend break in Noosa involved lots of... Read More
Best weekend trips from Perth is a guest post by Keri of Our Globetrotters. This site contains some affiliate links. Perth is one of my favourite cities in the world. We *almost* moved there and I know we’d have loved it as we really enjoyed our time travelling... Read More
When our migration date was looming, we realised we didn’t have many suitcases. We’d been given a large luggage allocation each as we were moving abroad, so we planned on taking a lot of stuff with us. Although taking lots of cases when you have three kids... Read More
I’ve been writing articles and features for Australia and New Zealand magazine in the UK since I came back from our backpacking trip in 2009. I’d been an avid reader of the magazine for so many years, it was so exciting to finally be able to write for them... Read More
“How is it possible that we’ve never been to Rainbow Beach,” I ask Matt as we look out at the waves crashing on the deserted stretch of golden sand. We’ve travelled around Australia a lot over the last few years, yet we’ve only just... Read More
