Three Capes Track Day 3
In January 2020, we embarked on a treacherous journey to explore Cape Pillar, encountering everything from misty mornings with screeching cockatoos to a snake-infested boardwalk. As we approached the Blade and Tasman Island’s desolate lighthouse, we pondered the island’s tragic history. The landscape also revealed its rich Aboriginal and colonial past. Despite the hardships, we pressed on, eager for our next adventure at Retakunna. Who knew what tomorrow would bring?
Three Capes Track Day 2
January 2020 We awoke to our first full day of the Three Capes Track with a mission. Get to the second hut as quickly as possible. It was bushfire season and the fire warnings were high this day. The next boat load of walkers would not be able to join the walk and we had […]
Three Capes Track Day 1
In January 2020, the author embarked on a 4-day hike on the Three Capes Track in Tasmania, requiring meticulous preparation and a boat transfer from Hobart. The track, a significant investment, offers a rugged coastal walk through diverse landscapes and visits to historic sites. The journey began with an eco-cruise and a stay in the first hut, with plans to tackle challenging conditions ahead.
Tasmania Hinterland: Road Trip
On a road trip through Tasmania, we explored the eastern part, journeying from Hobart to Launceston and then west to Cradle Mountain National Park. Passing historic towns like New Norfolk and Hamilton, we encountered convict-era buildings and learned about the region’s Polish immigrant history. Our destination, Pumphouse Point, provided a unique retreat by the glacial Lake St. Clair.

In January 2020, a day safari to Bruny Island provided a diverse experience. Exploring North and South Bruny, highlights included oyster tasting, a cheese and beer experience, and a visit to the historic Cape Bruny Lighthouse. The tour showcased the island’s natural beauty and rich history, offering a fulfilling and worthwhile experience for visitors.
Hobart: An Expected Journey
January 2020 Our birthdays are only 4 days apart so back in 2009 we decided that in lieu of really fancy gifts we would divert some of the attention and money to a trip away to celebrate. Our first trip was to New York – in the January snow. Continuing on this tradition in January […]
Monochrome Monday: K’Gari

Fraser Island and Noosa
January 2020 We had an afternoon flight up to the Sunshine Coast on January 1st on what would be our penultimate trip outside of the borders of NSW for nearly 18 months. We didn’t know that at that time as the Covid-19 virus had only just started to spread from that market in Wuhan. We […]
A very Sydney Christmas
December 2019 We normally bug out of Sydney over Christmas – making the most of our time off to explore other parts of Australia or on a pilgrimage back to our families in Europe. The main reason we get away is due to the crowds – in the run up to New Years Eve Sydney […]
John Senior Returns
Nov – Dec 2019 After his last trip to Sydney back in 2017 it was time for the return of John Senior!! This time he would be travelling solo. The second trip is always the hardest to plan. Do you re-do the first trip or go for new places? We kept it neutral and did […]
Grand Mosque of Muscat
Our last stop on our Oman Stopover was to visit the most famous landmark in the city – the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. Opened in 2000, after six years of construction the Grand Mosque really deserves it’s title. It occupies the same square meterage of nearly 59 football pitches (416000 sq metres), contains over 300,000 […]
Oman: What a stopover!
Our trip to Europe involved flying partly with Oman Air. Normally we would transit via the UAE or Qatar so we took this opportunity to add in a small stopover in Muscat as part of this trip. A new country for both of us bringing our totals up to 33 for John and 38 for […]
Lake Como
After spending sometime exploring the town of Como – it was time to jump on a boat and head up the lake. After Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore this is Italy’s third largest lake, Europe’s deepest outside of Norway and with a distinct inverse ‘Y’ shape provides a varied backdrop of mountains, shore-lined villages, beautiful […]
