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… […]

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 […]

To find it, you head to Little Collins Street and turn into Howery Place…you will see the street sign just a short way down on […]

Although I love gadgets, I have been putting off getting an e-reader for ages, as I much preferred reading real books. I love the smell and feel of turning the pages in a good book! I actually did buy an e-reader about five or six years ago, but it quickly ended up in the drawer, […]

I love learning about the past history of places we visit…you can find out the most amazing things when you do a little delving! I also know that how important it is to look up as you can miss so much…architecture, street art, quirky installations… So when I read about this particular place on my […]
Laneways of Melbourne – Drewery Lane
By Sarah in General, Melbourne, Travel 1 Comment Tags: Drewery Lane, Laneways of Melbourne, Melbourne
We found this lane purely by accident…we were walking towards Melbourne Central from the QV Shopping Centre and noticed some graffiti on the wall… So being the curious people we are, we wandered through to see where it would lead and discovered what is now one of my favourite laneways in Melbourne! Drewery Lane runs […]
