After many a month exploring the antipodes, I thought I’d put Australia and New Zealand head to head on some main travel points (Culture, Food, Cities, Sport and Scenery), and see which comes up trumps. I’m preparing to get major stick for this, as I’m definitely biased on certain things, and I’m sure I’ll be … Continue reading
As you can imagine, we were fairly keen to say goodbye to Canberra and continue onwards to a more interesting and accessible city. Canberra was quite a bit of hard work. We got a fairly unpleasant night bus from Canberra down to Melbourne, our final Australian stop. I’d heard a lot of good things about … Continue reading
Last year I wrote a post called São Paulo: The Concrete Jungle With Nothing to Do. Well we hadn’t been to Canberra at that point, and Canberra is ten times worse.

We had planned to spend a few nights in the classic seaside resort town of Coffs Harbour and then in the city of Newcastle (which is a bit different from our own one!). It was great to explore different seaside towns along … Continue reading

We are now in Australia! It’s been a while since I’ve written a post about anywhere that’s not in New Zealand, but after a brilliant 8 months it was time to move on to somewhere new. We are part way through a trip down the East Coast of Australia, which began in the sunny Queensland … Continue reading
So Toby and I have now been travelling the world for a whole year. We had a fantastic 4 months in South America (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and Peru); a short break in Fiji with Toby’s dad, Alex and sister, Rachel; almost 8 months living and working in beautiful New Zealand and now we … Continue reading
