Summertime in the Australian Outback – Cairns to Alice Springs, Uluru to Port Augusta
We flew back into Cairns on December 29th after our Christmas break to resume the great Aussie road trip. We only had carry on bags so we pushed our luck showing up at the Brisbane airport 10 minutes before boarding time. It’s a bad habit that I’m sure will one day backfire but until itContinue reading “Summertime in the Australian Outback – Cairns to Alice Springs, Uluru to Port Augusta”

Brisbane to Rainbow Beach….Almost
Our first official day of the road trip! As we mentioned in the last post we started slow, fighting a combination of rush hour, weekend and school holiday traffic getting out of the city.

Australia – The Adventure Begins
Being back in Australia has been incredible so far, for Carly it’s always great to be home and for me there has been a real sense of familiarity after our brief visit last year.

Mexico to Australia – The good, the bad & the ugly
After 17 glorious days in Mexico with family and friends for the wedding we’re ready to start our honeymoon adventure travelling around Australia’s east coast. Being in the tourism industry we live much of our lives at odds with a hangover, so it seemed fitting to start our honeymoon in the same fashion. The nightContinue reading “Mexico to Australia – The good, the bad & the ugly”
Shark attack
Again getting ahead of the trips timeline but we felt the need to share this. We woke up this morning on the Gold Coast of Australia with the plan to spend the day surfing, only to find the news dominated with the weeks second fatal shark attack. Sadly a teenaged body surfer was attacked andContinue reading “Shark attack”
