Now then, it had been more than 20 years since I’d stayed in Cairns and back then it had been strictly backpacker-only accommodation and all I was lugging around was my diving gear. When I started planning a spring school holiday trip to Cairns, I knew I needed to find a great place to stay. I’d […]

This is a sponsored post. My children are so lucky to live right on Garigal National Park here in Sydney. I’m forever saying: ‘Off you go into the bush and play.’ They do as well, and no broken bones yet. They are learning lots about climbing trees and throwing rocks and not that much about […]

Every time I write a list of what’s on for kids in Sydney during school holidays, there seems to be more and more to add. So many shows and exhibitions and things to see and places to go and stuff to eat and laughs to be had. And let’s not forget all the free fun […]
‘I don’t belong in this family,’ said my little daughter, ‘there are too many boys.’ ‘I know exactly what you mean,’ I said, ‘lets run away and do something just for the girls. So we did. We’d been very kindly invited to a Peter Pan Morning Tea by The Langham in Sydney’s Rocks. This grand […]
Sunrise swimmer at North Narrabeen Rock Pool last Sunday morning. That’s me off for a blogging break then. Cheerio the noo.

I’ve been flying in and out of Sydney Airport for a bit over 25 years and it’s something I’m still passionate about. The first time just blew me away; there were so many beaches, in a city – unheard of! And all the swimming pools! My absolute fave is when the plane comes in over […]

Update: the playground at Parramatta Park has been upgraded. See some video here. I will get over there to get some new photos sonner or later. If you’ve been and have some photos, I would love to feature them. Do get in touch using the Contact page. Have you been for a visit to Parramatta […]
Now tell me I am not alone here… in thinking that my daughter is FAR smarter than my boys, far more capable, far more empathetic… she can do so many things they haven’t even thought of trying, she’s the only one who brings me a cup of tea in bed…. she just seems so much […]
When you have your first baby, you have no idea how important your local playgrounds are going to be in your life. But it’s when you have your second child that you realise how important it is to know where are all the fully-enclosed, fenced playgrounds are. Let’s raise a cheer for all the councils […]
Yes, it really is the steepest railway in the world. And here are the photos to prove it! The Scenic Railway at Scenic World in Katoomba, up in the very beautiful Blue Mountains, genuinely is a record holder. The 52 degree incline at one point in the ride is the steepest railway incline in […]
