We all like to be independent, but there are so many reasons to take guided tours – whether for your entire holiday or booking local tours along the way. Times have long gone where crowds of people were squashed into overcrowded buses – tours are much more comfortable in these days of travel.
Light Bulb Moment….Let’s go GLAMPING! So we did, at Cobb and Co Camping Grounds just outside Gympie, Queensland. This was a virgin experience for us with the bonus being the destination was only an hour away. A quick phone call and we’d secured ourselves a moveable one-bedroom tent. Yes, that’s right – moveable, so we could Read More …
The hop on hop off New York Ferry was our choice to fill in the gaps of ” The City That Never Sleeps” – there was a lot fit into the last day and we weren’t disappointed. Day four had seen our 48 hours hop on hop off bus pass run out, so we stopped at Read More …
Toorbul Beach – a hidden beachside hideaway just north of Brisbane in Queensland. A perfect spot to escape from the rat race for a day (or three). You can fish, kayak, walk the beach, chase soldier crabs with the kids or just pop in to the local shop for fish and chips and a beverage! Read More …
The wheels of our bus had left the 1,000 year old city of Sibenik and we were on our way to experience traditional Croatian life (and food) at the small village of Jurlinovi Dvori up in the Primosten Hills. The bus trip took about half an hour from the coast of Sibenik where there were grape vines and Read More …
Grizzly bears and golden autumn leaves were at the top of our agenda when driving through Denali Park in Alaska and we weren’t disappointed!

But, here we were docked at Port Chalmers ready to explore the “Edinburgh of New Zealand”. With kilts on and singing “if you take the high road and I’ll take Read More …
Have you ever walked through a tropical jungle amongst thousands of fluttering butterflies? Instead of heading to the tropics, did you know you can do this at the Butterfly Gardens in Victoria on Vancouver Island? With Vancouver being a popular stopover in Canada, it’s definitely worth tacking on an extra day to enjoy everything Victoria has to Read More …
Nope, this isn’t an advert, just the chance to share information on the fantastic Coolum Beach Holiday Park, on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. We stay at the Park in our caravan for three weeks every Christmas/New Year and it’s now like a home away from home – with more benefits. (There’s cabins to rent as well). Being Read More …
Here I was approaching the end of my 7th decade and still hadn’t been out to see Uluru (AKA Ayer’s Rock, or The Rock) in the Red Centre of OZ. This was fixed when a deal came through from Travelat60.com. Six days in the Red Centre of Australia complete with sunset and sunrise tours AND Read More …
