Today's travel photo is of the Southern Ocean just after sunset from Johanna Beach on the Great Ocean Road, Australia. Johanna Beach is a popular spot on the Great Ocean Road as the camping area is free. It's also the only place that allows dogs in the National Park that covers the Great Ocean Road area, so it was a great [...]
When the weather turns bad while travelling to a beach destination, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that the sun comes out. That's pretty much how we spent our time in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. I'm well aware of the risks taken when travelling to Southeast Asia in the off season. The fact [...]
I've always claimed that the best beaches in Australia are in Western Australia, but I thought that I was probably biased since it is my home state. When we camped at Munglinup Beach to the west of Esperance, however, I was certain that my claim was true. The beach is just beautiful, and on our [...]
The Great Ocean Road in Victoria is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations, and rightly so. It travels along some of the most breathtaking coastline that I have ever seen. We took two days to drive the road so that we could make lots of stops along the way. We camped for the night [...]
It had basically been nonstop driving since we left Queensland. We had seen some amazing places driving through New South Wales and into Victoria, basically stopping at a different place every night, but it was now starting to wear us down. We needed to just stay put somewhere for a couple of days to recuperate, [...]
After all of the rain and flooding that we had here in Queensland, Australia, we were desperate for some sunshine. Although the rain wasn't really going anywhere, it had eased off enough to only the occasional shower, so we decided to head up to Rainbow Beach for a couple of days with the hope that [...]
This week's travel photo is a view of Watego's Beach in Byron Bay, Australia. I took this photo while walking the beautiful 3km trail to the Cape Byron Lighthouse. If you want to get away from the crowded main beach in Byron Bay, Watego's Beach is only a short walk or drive away, and it's [...]
Travelling to Thailand during the off season has many advantages, however the biggest disadvantage is that it rains...a lot...and while island hopping around Southern Thailand in search of our perfect tropical island beach getaway, we had so far had no luck with the weather at all. Although Koh Lanta on the Andaman Coast was beautiful, [...]
After exploring the Muslim fishing village on Koh Panyee, we hopped back in our long tail boat to continue our tour of the beautiful Phang Nga Bay. This part of southern Thailand is dotted with spectacular limestone karst islands, and the next on our schedule was the famous Ko Khao Phing Kan, more commonly known [...]
On our search for a perfect Thai tropical island paradise, we made our way from Phuket to Koh Phi Phi, where we were disappointed by the amount of rubbish on the otherwise beautiful beach. It was also a little too loud and crowded for the relaxing beach break that we were looking for. So we [...]
