It’s long been a dream of mine to visit Iceland, from the first time I saw programmes about it on the TV I’ve been intrigued and fascinated by this place. In recent years, Iceland has exploded in popularity thanks in no small part to Instagram as well as Hollywood choosing it as the location for … More Iceland: The Wild West
Excuse the interruption to our regular broadcasting on this blog, had that little addition to the family to first prepare for and then welcome into the world. He’s doing great and we’re actually getting more than three minutes sleep a night, which is nice! Almost finished with the Irish leg of our big trip from … More Ireland: Donegal & Tory Island
I still have plenty of Tassie content to come but am also super keen to get all the Ireland blog posts out and complete. Almost there I promise! In my research before travelling to Ireland, I came across a photo of an abandoned building with some rugged cliffs behind it and promptly added it to … More Ireland: Gleniff Horseshoe
If I had to pick a highlight of our Wild Atlantic Way road-trip around Ireland, I’d have to say Achill Island would be it. With just 128km of coastline, it’s like a miniature Ireland all wrapped up in one spot. As keen hikers and lovers off all things bumpy in the landscape, Achill offers some … More Ireland: Achill Island
After being spoiled with the beautiful landscapes of County Cork, our roadtrip continued into the Kingdom, County Kerry. The Irish landscape has been made famous by Hollywood and a lot of that romanticism that is talked about comes from the classic movies of the 50’s and 60’s that made this area famous.

It’s no small secret to regular readers of this blog that Maria Island has a special place in my heart as my favourite island off an island off an island. But that doesn’t mean the other islands off the coast of Tassie are any less spectacular. One such place is Bruny Island, a favourite amongst … More Cape Queen Elizabeth Walk
You’d think after four visits I’d be sick to death of Maria Island. Happy to say that is far from the case as I already can’t wait to get back. I’ve said in all three previous posts about this place that is has something special about it. There’s always something new to experience and even … More Maria the Fourth be with you
I just realised I never uploaded a post from that wonderful trip I took with my parents just before moving to Tasmania, you know…..back in March 2015!! Whoops! My parents (the wonderful people that they are, Hi Mom! Hi Dad!) offered to drive me down early and do a little road trip around the Ring … More Dingle Peninsula: County Kerry, Ireland
Today was one of those days that you just know you’re going to remember for a long time. I’ve had a few of them so far in Tasmania, mostly on the awesome Instameets whereby we pack in a whole heap of Tasmania’s finest delights in one day, so many that by the end of it … More A remarkable day at Crescent Bay
