15 Photos to inspire you to visit Port Fairy
I am still unsure how we managed to spend a week in Port Fairy between lockdowns and work commitments, but I am so glad we did. Port Fairy, in south west Victoria, is somewhere we had never stayed before. Previous trips we had stayed in Warrnambool and not ventured the extra 30kms around the coast. What is interesting is that…

Griffiths Island Walk, Port Fairy
We were so lucky to have a beautiful winters day to wander Griffiths Island, just off the mainland at Port Fairy. The island is easy to explore as it is connected to the mainland via a causeway located at the end of the wharf. Griffiths Island has a primitive feel.

So an airline posted cheap flights and you jumped on and managed to get a cheap week away. Amazing, we all love a sneaky week away. Now you have the task of trying to pack everything you need into a tiny bag as you did not buy extra luggage. The amount you pack is very dependent on where you are…

How to plan for an extended caravan trip
Our family has been travelling in a caravan for many years. Our first van was purchased back in 1995 and it was an old 70’s Travelhome and we loved it. We have been lucky enough to take many caravan holidays, ranging from short 2 week trips up to 8 week trips around this beautiful country. The first night away, when…

The Ultimate Guide to the Bunurong Marine Park
The Bunurong Marine Park is a stretch of coastline that runs from Inverloch to Harmers Haven in South Gippsland. This area of coast has a ruggedness about it. The sheer cliffs that drop away to beautiful beaches is pristine. I was there on a warm autumn day and had some of the beaches to myself. There is something to be…
