AUSTRALIA & OCEANIA
Exploring Western Australia’s Pinnacles
Western Australia is better known for its pristine beaches and warm weather, but there is much more to it than that. The Pinnacles are a great example of WA's unique offerings. We made it a day trip on its own, or make it an essential stop on your way north along the...
Things to do in Perth, Western Australia
As a couple who have spent in excess of 30 combined years living in Perth, we are certainly in a comfortable position to help visitors make the most of their time. A lot of people don’t include Perth and Western Australia in their Australian itinerary, and we can...
Melbourne
It hasn’t been voted the world's most liveable city for the past 6 years for no good reason. And this doesn’t just relate to the permanent residents of the city, it is an amazing blend of culture, food, scenery & shopping! All the best things you could hope for as...
Nacula Island, Fiji

Port Vila is the capital and sits in the picturesque Vila Bay. I splurged a little for my time here and stayed in an overwater villa at the Holiday Inn. There are plenty of excellent options available for the budget conscious traveller though. The Holiday Inn is a...
Rottnest Island
If you’re planning a visit to Perth for more than a few days, a day on Rottnest Island should absolutely consume at least one of those days. This is a natural island paradise, and was rightly described as such by the first European explorers who stumbled across it. It...
Fiji v Vanuatu – Paradise in the Pacific
I’ve been quizzed on this more times than I care to remember. And with that, I thought I would compile a comprehensive list to help out - there is just too much to mention in casual conversation. With their close proximity, just over 1,000km, you would expect the two...
