I have booked quite a few houses/apartments for our holidays via the website, Stayz, but this one turned out to be my best find yet! We have been going to Port Douglas in Far North Queensland for years…although there was a 7 year gap since our last visit…but we usually stayed near Four Mile Beach, […]

As devoted and enthusiastic tea drinkers, we always keep an eye out for new teas to try. While wandering through the shops in Port Douglas, we happened to find some tea made in the Daintree. This tea company started back in 2011 with their Daintree Chai Original blend…and slowly grew until the Tea Chest was […]

One of the loveliest sights in this seaside town of Port Douglas is that of a little white building, nestled in amoungst the palm trees. St Mary’s by the Sea is an historic, fully restored non-denominational chapel which is popular for weddings, as well as having services on Sundays… When you go inside, your attention […]

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 […]

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

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 […]
