Stuck in the Middle with Uluru
the world was a featureless place until the 10 ancestors (spirit people) of the Anangu came into being and travelled across the land, creating the features like Uluru that we see today. It represents the physical evidence of their time on the earth and is seen as one of their most dramatic and inspiring creations. […]
Top End Book End
…The only shining light ahead was not the fading sun but that we would not be going straight back to the hotel but somewhere else. Find out in the next post… We were dropped off at the wrong side of the road and as our bus and guide pulled away our destination was revealed […]
Florence and the Marines
Another early morning start for J&K with a 6.30AM pickup. As alluded to in our first Darwin post, one of the key attractions to the city is it’s proximity to a heap of National Parks and wildlife. We decided on a Day Trip to Litchfield Park as it was close enough that we would spend […]
Defence of the Realm
Phew, it was open. Originally conceived as a museum dedicated to Australian Artillery and to contain photographs and artefacts from Darwin’s History during World War 2 – it quickly grew to include all facets of that War including a plethora of Vehicles, Weapons and exhibits dedicated to the Vietnam War and other theatres of conflict.

Can you guess which […]
Hidden City
One of our first road trips after reaching Sydney was to take a short trip down to the nation’s capital – Canberra. We did the majority of museums and galleries and also did a tour of the Parliament Building. With that trip done we ticked Canberra off our list – it had been done. Fast […]
Crossing State Lines
We started off early this day. Our last full day in the area and we wanted to make the most of it. With no night life to speak of we awoke relaxed and refreshed. A quick look at the area will show you what was left to cover that day… All that was left was […]
Parliamentarians!
It was up bright and early for our last half day in Canberra. A quick check out was followed by an amazing breakfast in a local deli before we hailed a cab to our main destination for the remainder of our trip …. Australian Federal Parliament Building. It is here that both branches of the […]
Capital Idea!
We had been settled for a while in Sydney so we both felt it was time to do a bit of travelling again. Looking at the map there was a very ideal candidate not far away. We earmarked a weekend and went on Wotif to get a ‘mystery hotel’ deal close to the center. Next […]
