It is no secret Queenstown, New Zealand is one of my favourite holiday destinations. Because I love it so much I have compiled a list of my Top 10 things to do in Queenstown for you to enjoy, and hopefully experience. 1. Ziptrek Ecotours Loved, loved, loved. Here I was thinking I was scared of [...]
Every now and then a long lunch is in order - like I need an excuse – and one of the best destinations on the Sunshine Coast for a long lunch would have to be The Boat Shed at Cotton Tree. It is not a secret that The Boat Shed has been one of my favourite [...]
If you have ever thought about doing a sunrise hot air balloon ride, there is only one thing to say… do it! Oh, and do it in Queenstown. It is guaranteed to be one of the most magical scenic experiences that your will ever dream to have. I often thought it would be nice to [...]
Days like today always bring joy to my heart!! I was fortunate enough to be invited along on a road trip to visit Johnno’s farm out near Imbil and his free range pigs. Okay, so that is not exactly true, I kinda gatecrashed. Katrina Ryan of Slow Food Noosa, mentioned that she was going on [...]
