Australia Off The Beaten Track

This was the final main event while in Australia before heading back to Blighty. Typically a week-long festival full of various events culminating on...

If you are after destination accommodation that is like a Cinderella story, then this is the place for you. No glass slipper required.

Home to my mum and youngest sister.  Rosewood is located around 60 minutes west of Brisbane. To put it into a context of how remote this little town is, you have a single supermarket which is by English standards, tiny.

So we were coming to the end of our 2-week tour up to the northern tropics of Queensland.  Stopping off at the tourist town of Hervey Bay. Hervey Bay is a typical spot for tourists both young and old heading over to Fraser Island.

Every Sunday, down in Brisbane at the Morrison, you have a jazz and blues jam. You get musicians to come from across the city, perform for free with other musicians.  Arrive early so you can get yourself a parking space.

Lake Wivenhoe, well this huge, and I mean huge dam. Had to release millions and millions of gallons of water back in 2011. This lead to some of the worst flooding the area had ever seen.

Tibooburra's run by Bronwen and Peter, they are honestly the most welcoming people I have met. Their stunning newly built home has three beautiful bedrooms on the lower floor. They are immaculately decorated, and each has their own colour theme. This place was so comforting; I instantly felt right at home.

Neither of us knew what we were expecting, a gorge, what exactly is a gorge but we were up for a little bit of walking, and we thought instead of googling it like others possibly would; we would take the plunge, well a walk really and see what this was all about.

This beach is a lovely long beach, with a cute little park in East Mackay, Queensland Australia.

So. We were in the small town of Ingham when we decided it was time to explore. Bring on the excellent TripAdvisor app. After searching,...

Well, the Wongalinga Beachside Apartments. What a day when we arrived here at mission beach, high winds, and sporadic rain, not a great way to start a mini trip by a gorgeous beach surrounding.

This place was a lovely slice of one of the most historic mining towns in Queensland; Charters Tower is a unique slice of Australia. It is just about an hour and a half from Townsville and is worth the drive inland.
