Restaurant Week

It is worth pointing out that here in Australia everything is a little spaced out. And I’m not talking about “Alice in Wonderland” space out, I mean the distances between places. I was reminded of this on Saturday when we decided to nip down to Broadbeach for a bite to eat and a stroll around. [...]

I mentioned in Friday’s post that I was packing my bags and leaving Australian mainland for the first time since my arrival nearly 2 1/2 years ago.

We had decided to stay for three nights, mainly to give our daughter some beach time. She’s a plucky little girl, but even [...]

The Journey from Sydney to Melbourne

Sydney. NOT the Capital of Australia

28 January 2009 Australia's Places

I’m not a big fan of Sydney. But then I suspect Sydney cares very little for me too. As I’m not a fan, I will be brief. We’ll take a quick look around and then we’ll call it a day. Is that OK with you? What is my problem with Sydney? I am going to [...]

Pit Stop at Port Macquarie

23 January 2009 Australia's Places

That may not seem big to you, but it’s big enough to make it 40th in the list of Australia’s largest towns and cities. We had chosen Port Macquarie simply because it was about halfway between Yamba and our destination [...]
