Unwind with a Tweed River Cruise
I’ve driven over the Tweed River many times but last week I actually got to float down it, thanks to Tweed Endeavour Cruises. The Tweed River flows through Northern New South Wales and was discovered in 1823 by John Oxley, an English explorer and surveyor. He reported that the scenery here ‘exceeded anything I have…

If you Google images of Darwin,…
3 days in Kakadu
It was hot. There were flies. All par for the course on this fair dinkum Aussie outback adventure to Kakadu! I recently joined Wayoutback Australian Safaris for a 3 day tour through world famous Kakadu National Park in the tropical Northern Territory.

A weekend in Yamba
A long weekend means it’s time to get away, so last week I drove south to Yamba – I’d heard a lot of good things and was keen to explore. It was a beautiful drive, and on the way I stopped at Bangalow for lunch at Choux Choux Patisserie. I crossed the Clarence River several…
