\ The thing about Canberra is… there’s so much to do with kids. My daughter, a girlfriend and myself recently scooted down for the weekend. Here’s how we kept ourselves amused, and very well fed. Friday We drive down from Sydney to Canberra (advice on this road trip here ) arriving […]
\ Just a quick hello today and a pointer in the direction of the lovely blog ‘Kids Travel Blog.’ I’ve had a guest post published over there on our campervan adventure. Highly recommend a wee visit, a bit of surfing around can give you some great ideas and advice on […]
\ The funny thing is… it all started because I couldn’t take my oldest son to a playground unless it had a secure fence around it. It was just too dangerous to do anything else. He was a wild one, oh yes. That wee boy, now Mr19, turned out to have […]
\ I’ve just had such a stroke of traveller’s good fortune and am foaming at the mouth to share it. Here goes! It all started on a night where I could have been feeling very daunted. I’d been asked to be part of team ‘Macbeth’ at the Australian Society of […]
\ Well, it’s a bleary-eyed morning here at Casa Catastrophe. But thank goodness we have a sunny morning in Sydney at last. Teen16 flew back into Sydney late last night, and we didn’t all finally get to bed until 1.30am. He had been with his Dad in Scotland for just […]
\ Oh it never hurts to have a dream, does it? To check out a few pretty pictures. We’ve had some great overseas holiday in the past few years, great overall that is. There’s always been some dramas and explosions, some tantrums and traumas along the way. To be honest, […]
\ I ran away from home when I was 16 years old. Well, actually, I got myself a scholarship to a school on the West Coast of Scotland where I boarded for the equivalent of Years 11 and 12. Luckily for me, another new girl started at the same time, […]

\ It was all Minnie The Minx’s idea. She’d seen some knitting needles in a shop and was keen to have a go. AND we were heading to Scotland. Minnie is left-handed and so is my big sister. ‘Aunty Mairi can teach you to knit!’ I said. I like that […]
\ Now, if you’re looking for a family-friendly hotel in Canberra, could we recommend the Novotel? For many children, the number one attraction of the Novotel is it’s pool, and bubbly spa. My daughter certainly leapt joyfully into both when we visited recently. A big plus for me was that […]

It’s daft to live in Sydney and not enjoy the water views, but you don’t have to move the family to a harbourfront mansion to do so. There are loads of parks and playgrounds where you can enjoy the views for free. All you need is a blanket and a picnic and don’t forget your […]
