At the beginning of the year I decided that this year I was going to fill my some of weekends with a little adventure and climb the Glass House Mountains. I guess it was a resolution of sorts, although I generally don’t make them. Resolutions tend to get abandoned one or two weeks down the [...]
I have decided I really like Darwin. I wasn’t sure at first… it got off to slow start. There were a few minor incidents, mainly related around food, but then we found our feet, blitzed it with some incredible dining venues, climbed a major landmark, experienced a bit of Darwin’s rich aviation history, saw an [...]
In seeking out our weekend vistas, we find ourselves with another weekend gone and another Glass House Mountain nailed. This time one of the babies of the collection - Mt Beerburrum. Located on the outskirts of the township of Beerburrum, Mt Beerburrum is pretty easy to find. The lookout is well signed and an unsealed [...]
I am always in for an adventure, new frontiers, new breathtaking panoramic vistas… I think I am a view junkie, if there is such a thing. I like finding somewhere rare and remote, climbing to the top and seeing what the view is like. Of course, odds are that it is somewhere in the realm [...]
I love visiting somewhere new and discovering what makes it tick, especially food-wise and this was very much the case with Darwin.

I was itching for another Glass House Mountain adventure. We have nailed a few of the Glass House Mountains of late, so it is starting to be slim pickings with only a few to go, so we decided that Mt Tunbubudla was to be our next challenge. Mt Tunbubudla is actually two mountains; East and [...]

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.

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 [...]
In my goal to climb all of the Glass House Mountains this year, Wild Horse Mountain was the next to be conquered… well, ok, it can hardly be called ‘conquering’, and if you want to get technical, I wouldn’t really call it a climb either. Rather, it is a pleasant stroll up a slight incline. [...]
