One area that I have been wanting to explore for a while now is the You Yangs Regional Park in Victoria. My brother moved to Geelong just over a year ago and I went down to visit him around this time last year. In preparation for my trip I had done a bit of researchContinue reading “You Yangs Regional Park”

Autumn colours at the Valley of Liquid Ambers
In Australia, we are back into autumn! Growing up I was always adamant that winter was my favourite season. I much prefer the cooler weather and I enjoy hiking, which is really nice when it isn’t stinking hot. But in the last few years I have come to appreciate autumn much more to the pointContinue reading “Autumn colours at the Valley of Liquid Ambers”
Emerald Creek Falls
Today I want to tell you about a favourite place of mine to visit. Emerald Creek is about a 30-minute drive from Mareeba in Far North Queensland. It is probably one of the places that my family have revisited the most since moving up there. Even getting to the carpark is an adventure involving redContinue reading “Emerald Creek Falls”
Canyoning in the Blue Mountains
Ever since I discovered that canyoning was a thing it has been high on my list of things that I wanted to do. (I don’t have a bucket list as such, but if I did it would be close to the top.) It has been a few years since I first found out about itContinue reading “Canyoning in the Blue Mountains”
Sunset Photoshoots
I am very blessed to have a sister that is an incredibly talented photographer. Growing up she was always taking photos of our family and our adventures, and this has continued as we have all grown up and become adults. She has taken wedding and engagement photos for my brothers as they have gotten marriedContinue reading “Sunset Photoshoots”
Stony Creek, Byfield National Park
One discovery that I have made in the last few years as I have started exploring more of Australia is that apparently we are very unoriginal when it comes to naming things, particularly rivers and creeks. I can’t count the number of times that I have driven past a creek with a sign declaring itsContinue reading “Stony Creek, Byfield National Park”
Walking Amidst the Clouds
I have probably mentioned before that one of my favourite things when I am out in nature is when you see a mountain, covered in trees, and then you see some clouds just floating amongst the trees. When I lived in Papua New Guinea, we would fly on a small plane to get to whereContinue reading “Walking Amidst the Clouds”
Yarrangobilly Caves and Thermal Pool
Apologies for missing my post last week, but I was out adventuring with my sister! We went down to the Snowy Mountains for the weekend and had a great time exploring the area. When we drove back up toward Sydney, we took a different route, one that passed by Yarrangobilly Caves. The drive from JindabyneContinue reading “Yarrangobilly Caves and Thermal Pool”
Davies Creek Infinity Pool
This hidden gem is close to my home away from home in Far North Queensland, but it is one that I only visited for the first time earlier this year. When we first moved to the area almost 10 years ago, we visited Davies Creek, but we didn’t venture up to the falls – IContinue reading “Davies Creek Infinity Pool”
Dangar Falls
Dangar Falls is located just outside of the town of Dorrigo, which is between Coffs Harbour and Armidale in northern NSW. It is part of the area known as Waterfall Way, which as indicated by its name, has many spectacular waterfalls on display. Because we were popping in for an afternoon, we only stopped atContinue reading “Dangar Falls”
