Deadly jellyfish love the warm summer water in the ocean, and from October to May (just when those of us[...]
When thinking of Australia, you may imagine some of the East Coast's popular highlights: Sydney’s surfing beaches, Queensland's jungles, the Great Barrier Reef or Melbourne's trendy clubs. Even Uluru, the most popular Australian landmark, is conveniently reachable with three-day tours from Sydney. On the other hand, Western Australia is still relatively u[...]
Even if you haven't been, you probably think that you've got a good idea of Australia. Whether it's prawns on the Barbie, "G'day mate", sun-bleached surfers or sun hats with dangling corks, everyone's pretty familiar with the Aussies.

Whenever I hear travellers in Sydney ask the question 'What do you think of Sydney?' I can’t help but cringe a little. Sydney is made up of so many diverse stories and people, each staking their claim over different neighbourhoods around our ever-growing city. It’s so easy for visitors who drop by to miss the best of what we have to offer. If you’re wond[...]
If you make one day trip out of the bustling Australian city of Melbourne, be sure to head down to the Mornington Peninsula and visit the Peninsula Hot Springs. Melbourne is one heck of an exciting city - you can lose yourself in all the laneways and eateries for days on end and before you know it, a few weeks can zip by and you realise that you haven't expl[...]
