Monkey Mia was as far north as we decided to go. 25 degrees in the day was just right! Didn't really want to waste the fuel going any further north, and I just wanted to stay in one area for a while, besides the inside of the car. Well the last 30 minute drive up to monkey Mia was beautiful.! You have the sea on either side of you, and waters are shallow so you get that really light blue water colour. The first day we went to the national park and saw a small hi...

Feels weird to back on the road behind a steering wheel again. Rid bikes nearly everyday in Asia which were a lot more fun, but sitting, changing gear and driving a much bigger car than my Aygo feels a bit alien.. The hardest thing to get my head around is the indicators on the right, rather than the left.. So instead of indicating left.. I send my whippers into overdrive!

We went to mountain goats brewery and had a tour around the machines and the storage areas. Learning about the history of the brewery, how they started up and learning about the whole fermentation process, how they use different grains for different flavours, hops for bitterness and natura...

The one thing that stands out about Melbourne is how much of a hospitality city it is. There are hundreds of bars, pubs, clubs and cafes. And among all of these are some quirky bars, one being state of grace, a bar on Collins street where when you walk through to the back there's just a massive bookshelf where if you pull only one of the books the shelf slides away and the stairs lead you to an underground cocktail bar. Another near where we stay you have to go t...
