Living in Australia has its perks; It's a vast country full of amazing places to visit and experience. As good as it is though, and as much as we love touring it, our travel bug has taken us to other places:

It seems no matter where you turn in New Zealand there's something beautiful. Snow-capped mountains, pristine lakes, long white clouds streaking the sky and capturing the golden-red rays of the setting

Nature is a powerful thing; It creates, destroys and shapes the world around us and whilst it can, and often does, obliterate our man-made constructions and lives in it's ferocity it is capable of great

I can't recall the first time I ate a jelly bean although I can tell you, with great confidence, that I liked it. What's not to like right?; All that sugar, artificial flavour and food colouring wrapped

I was recently in New Zealand on vacation with my wife and whilst there managed to see and do a lot of cool stuff. If you're interested you can search the #aussies-newzealand tag and see a day-by-day

We've travelled a lot over the years both abroad and around Australia. I'm not sure how many places we've been to on vacations in the thirty two years we've been together but it's a lot. Heaps! Over those

A little while ago I had a ride on the wild side - Two rides to be accurate. The first was awesome and the second even more so. Whilst on vacation we found ourselves at the Shotover River not far out of

We sprung into the air, no longer in physical contact with New Zealand itself. The ground dropped away rapidly as we ascended into the bright blue sky climbing higher and higher. Our thoughts turned towards

Well, this is it rockstars, we're at the airport awaiting our flight to Melbourne. We drove from Dunedin to Queenstown this morning, about 4 hours, and dropped our hire vehicle off around lunch time. After

About seventy five kilometres north of Dunedin in the Oamaru district lies a unique beach called Koekohe - Well, I guess the beach itself isn't all that unique however the spherical boulders found on the

Today we took a drive to the Otago Peninsula to the east of Dunedin where we had two locations pegged as places we wanted to visit, and all day to do it. So, we set off on what looked like a

This morning we woke to a cold and wet Dunedin after a lot of overnight rain - None of which I heard falling. It was disconcerting however we focused on maintaining a positive attitude whilst we got ourselves

We reached our final stop on our New Zealand vacation today; Dunedin, on the south-east coast of the South Island of New Zealand, is where we'll be based for the next 4 to 5 days as we take in the sights.

Today was a driving day as we made our way from Te Anau to Dunedin for our last few days before we fly back to Australia. We started early, under heavy cloud, with the stunning countryside completely obscured

Today is our last day in Te Anau prior to heading to the south-east of New Zealand in the morning. We'll be leaving New Zealand's second-largest lake and Fiordland behind, however will take along some

One hundred and twenty kilometres away from Te Anau, up a narrow and winding mountain road, lies Milford Sound - However, it’s not really a Sound at all, it’s a Fiord. You see, a Sound is carved out by

Unless you are an Australian or a New Zealander you won't understand the relationship people from the two countries have with one another. I'm not sure friendship covers it though, hence my use of the

Today we headed out of Queenstown towards the south and the lake-side town of Te Anau - Gateway to the Fiordland National Park. We'll be heading north from here to Milford for a cruise on Milford Sound

We hit the road this morning, southbound initially and then west to Te Anau and brand new adventures. We're probably driving right now, as you read this, enjoying the amazing views here in New Zealand.
