No it's not cod, or our new favourite, barramundi… the catch of the day today is, well, us… Confused? We were a too… The day started with a beautiful drive from the Hunter Valley, past typical Aussie bungalows (complete with rocking chairs on the verandas). After a couple of hours we arrived in the seaside town of Port Stephens - just a little North of Syndey, it's a popular place for people from the city to come on holiday. We first drove to a beauti...

Pulling back the curtains in our little campervan at dawn, we realised what a great idea it was to drive this part of the trip. Twelve hours previously we had no idea where we'd be spending the night, yet here we were waking up in the most beautiful landscape - the clear sky made for a beautiful sunrise; vineyards lined the wide open fields beside us, and the only sounds came from early rising birds.

Think you know the answer to this question? It's brilliant white, right? Wrong. Sydney Opera House is actually a mushy cream colour. It's a concrete building, covered with what seems to be cracked bathroom tiles. If you've not seen if for yourself, we're sorry to break it to you, but we were pretty stunned too. In fact, we initially wondered whether the only reason this building has become one of the world's most iconic, is due to its magic ability to change colo...
