Brisbane is privileged to be surrounded by stunning natural landscapes, with mountains and forests that are full of excellent hiking trails. It is one of the reasons why I love living here. I've completed lots of these trails over the years but one that I hadn't tackled yet was the Cotswold Track to the summit [...]
Melbourne has to be one of my favourite cities in Australia due to its amazing mix of European influence with a very contrasting cosmopolitan vibe. The city's food and bar scene is excellent, with a delightful mix of culture that has you wandering through the city's laneways, seamlessly blending in with Melbourne's art scene. Then [...]

Today's travel photo is of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia. I only had a short time in Melbourne but it was long enough for me to find out that I really liked the city. Melbourne has some beautiful old historic buildings, but the most iconic would have to be Flinders Street Station. I took [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old book shop in the historic town of Sofala, Australia. Sofala is an old gold mining town situated north of Bathurst in New South Wales, and today attracts tourists who are searching for a bit of history. There are some lovely old buildings here with that old world charm, [...]
