I’ve now been budget travelling in Australia for almost 2 years and have spent a good deal of time across almost every state – apart Tasmania – working, camping, sightseeing, hiking, farming and exploring. As such, I have a fairly good knowledge of the lie of this land and, of course, an appreciation of […]

One of the most popular holiday spots for Australians within their own country, I’ve been lucky enough to call the gorgeous, coastal town of Noosa home on and off for almost a year now.

I think the Great Ocean Road is overrated. I’m sorry, but there it is. It’s an opinion, not a fact. And, for better or worse, I’m entitled to it! This is not a hate campaign, I didn’t detest the Great Ocean Road and I’m not saying you should never go, but for me it just […]
