Well, Monday was a bank holiday because Saturday 26th of January was Australia Day, so we had Monday off in lieu making for a long weekend. Lovely! Actually not, and the [...]

As I mentioned in my post on Wednesday called Heading North for a Quick Australian Summer Holiday Break, I headed north last Sunday for a quick Australian summer holiday break. Yes, I like it when a title tells it exactly how it is. What I didn’t tell you though, is exactly where I went. It [...]
