MY TRAVELS & ADVENTURES
Riding the Scenic Rail & Skyrail to Kuranda and back This week Conor and I decided to do two things that we had wanted to do for ages: the Kuranda Scenic Rail and the Skyrail. The scenic rail runs from Cairns to Kuranda and back, or you can do what we did and hop on… Continue reading Riding the Scenic Rail & Skyrail to Kuranda and back
Top 5 Day Trips From Port Douglas As much as I adore Port Douglas itself, I love getting out and about for a good day trip. The best part is that there are so many amazing ones to choose from. You can opt to book organised tours or do what I tend to do… Continue reading Top 5 Day Trips From Port Douglas
A Lovely Day Out at Cape Tribulation Last week Conor and I decided to take a day trip to beautiful Cape Tribulation in the lush Daintree Rainforest, just a short drive from our home. A day in the Daintree is a must for anyone visiting Port Douglas and the surrounding area. The drive from Port… Continue reading A Lovely Day Out at Cape Tribulation
How to Choose a Great Barrier Reef Trip No visit to beautiful, tropical Far North Queensland is complete without a trip to the iconic Great Barrier Reef. Personally I love going to the reef. I've been three times with three different companies, and each time was amazing. Plenty of visitors to the area are incredibly… Continue reading How to Choose a Great Barrier Reef Trip
Aisle Seat vs. Window Seat: The Great Debate I've always been a window seat kind of person. It just feels a little more private and less exposed.

We landed at around 10pm, and wanted to go out… Continue reading Top Tips to Avoid Jet Lag

I chose them because they were the cheapest option, however I had heard good things. My journey consisted of two flights each way. Cairns - Singapore takes around 6-7 hours, and Singapore - Manchester takes… Continue reading Flying with Singapore Airlines
I'm Home! I'm posting a day late this week because it's been a very busy few days since I got back to England for the first time in three years. I flew with Singapore Air from Cairns to Manchester, which took around 24 hours. The flights were good with plenty of movies and TV to… Continue reading I’m Home!
Going home plans After almost three years in Australia, I'm finally heading home to England for a five week visit. The funny thing about the five week time frame is that it seems like a really long time to be away from Port Douglas and from Conor, yet when I try to make all of… Continue reading Going home plans
Bloomfield Track & Archers Point The dancing flames of a campfire...The clear, starry night sky...the earth's natural elements are so beautiful, so pure. There's something so relaxing about being out in nature. So Conor and I had been speaking with some friends for a while about going camping and we finally did it. Unfortunately… Continue reading Bloomfield Track & Archers Point
