To get an idea of where we were we headed to Bulli lookout first thing in the morning. Overlooking the town gave us an impression of what these small beach towns look like along the coast of New South Wales. When researching our road trip I had come across pictures of the Hindu Sri Venkateswara…
Royal National Park
We left Sydney in the rain and with cloudy skies to head to Royal National Park, South of Sydney. First stop was the park’s visitor centre in order to buy our park pass for the day. After coffee at the charming Audley Dance Hall Cafe right next to the centre we headed to the small…
Around Sydney
After exploring Sydney downtown yesterday we headed for the outskirts of the city the following day. We parked at Shelly Beach and did a short hike up to the cliffs. Then we spent a few hours at the beach itself swimming and relaxing. Shelly is a nice beach with calm waters and something I really…
Sydney
We took the train into Sydney and explored the city walking. First stop was Paddys Markets where you can buy anything from phone accessories to hats, souvenirs and cloths. We then crossed China Town and strolled down George Street where we took a detour through the Queen Victoria Building. It houses a shopping center that…
New approach
On our third trip to Australia we tried yet another approach- this time via Seoul in South Korea. As we booked on short notice with miles we didn’t have many other options. Even though we had a few hours in Korea it just wasn’t enough time to leave the airport and explore the city. So…
Bilbao
Bilbao is a European city that in my eyes is greatly underrated. When looking for a destination for a short trip with my daughter we felt adventurous and played the airline lottery- you pick at least four destinations out of a package and you only know where you are going once you pay for the…
Singapore
We caught a red eye flight out of Perth which had us in Singapore very early in the morning. This gave us the opportunity to leave the airport and stroll around Singapore. We had considered doing one of the free bus tours that are being offered at the airport but decided to go exploring by…
Perth
We were really lucky. The whole time we spent South of Perth was sunny and beautiful- even though the nights were cold. Only when we left Busselton to head back North it started to rain. We stopped in Mandurah again for another one of Thomas Dambo‘s Giants and arrived at the location of „Yaburgrt Winjan…
Busselton Jetty
Our last day in the South of Western Australia before returning to Perth and flying back to Europe. We had tickets pre-booked for the Busselton Underwater Observatory. This Observatory gives you the opportunity to see sea life in a depth of down to eight meters without having to don any diving gear. The Busselton Observatory’s…
Margaret River Region
The Margaret River region is known for it’s wines. Many wineries accept walk- ins but we decided to book a wine tasting beforehand. Through some research we found the Whicher Ridge Winery South of Busselton where Neil and Cathy Howard produce excellent wines. What makes their wine tasting special is their incredible sensory garden. Next…
