When we drove down to Cairns earlier in the week, we decided on impulse to check out Cairns Zoom and Wildlife Dome. It is located right in the heart of Cairns…right on top of the Reef Hotel Casino! To enter, you go into the casino, and catch the lift up to the roof, where you […]

By Sarah in Fashion, General, Op Shopping, What I Wore Tags: ootd, op shop fashion, thrifted fashion, What I wore
This edition of What I Wore is brought to you all the way from Far North Queensland…Port Douglas to be exact. I will admit that I somewhat over packed…the weather has been hot and sunny each day, and I had forgotten that in FNQ you live in bathers, shorts and singlets most of the time! […]

On this day, fourteen years ago, we had one of the best days of our lives…it involved a double decker bus, a gorgeous little church, a full brass band and steam train. Yep, it was one hell of a wedding, and so much fun! We went to Palm Cove for our honeymoon…which is about 40 […]
Captain Cook Highway – Rock Stacks
By Sarah in General, Photography, Travel 1 Comment Tags: Cairns, Captain Cook Highway, Far North Queensland, Port Douglas, rock stacks, rocks stacking
About 10 mins drive north of Palm Cove (just after where the Captain Cook Hwy divides into two), there is something that is definitely worth stopping for. Seemingly in a random spot, stacks of stones can be seen precariously balancing…a man-made phenomenon which is happening across the world… No one seems quite sure when this […]

Every Sunday, over 150 market stalls are setup at Anzac Park in Port Douglas….and I don’t think any other market has quite the location as this one! It is situated mainly under big trees which give some respite from the hot sun… And has an amazing view out to the Coral Sea as a backdrop… […]

By Sarah in General Tags: March 2016, monthly rewind
After starting somewhat slowly, March gathered momenton and finished with a crazy rush! It was a good month for holidays too…a long weekend plus Easter. So time for a Monthly Rewind…and I will let you know I am writing this sitting on a balcony with one of the most beautiful views…it’s a tough life… Anyway, […]
Flat is the new round – the Memobottle
By Sarah in Gadgets, General, Health Tags: drink bottle, Memobottle, Review
I never drink enough water which means I am probably dehydrated most of the time. I buy fancy water bottles in the hope that they will encourage me to drink, but they usually end up in the cupboard after a month or two. Then I discovered something so clever that I had to hunt one […]
On a Plane to Paradise
By Sarah in General, Travel Tags: Far North Queensland, Port Douglas, Qantas, Queensland, travel
This morning, we got up extra early, headed to the airport to board this aircraft… One benefit of not travelling far over the last few years means that we can treat ourselves to Business Class…and we scored the front row! Plus there were only a few others up the front end so it was nice […]
