Travelling with Kids – Adventure isn't just about the plane trips!

Waking up on Sunday morning to a glorious blue sky without a cloud in sight I convinced T that we needed to go on an adventure. I knew just the place having spotted Bare Island repeatedly over summer when we swam at La Perouse. National Parks NSW conducts tours of the site on a Sunday which made …
Last week we were blessed to receive 4 tickets from The Rotary Club of Bondi Junction to Circus Quirkus – www.circusquirkus.com.au. I was a little apprehensive about an evening out on a school night but quickly convinced myself that such experiences need to be snatched up when they come our way. With the start time listed as 6.00 …
With my parents up in Sydney to visit the grandkids before travelling to Europe we decided the Powerhouse Museum would be a great place to vista considering it was miserable outside. The kids always like the hands on offerings across the many levels and I knew it would provide an opportunity for everyone to interact. The …
Last week I received a nomination for a Liebster Blogging Award. Oh the thrill. It brought a smile to my face. I’m still a little giddy. I have finally found a moment to read each question and provide a response. I hope you enjoy the read What is your favourite memory from travelling with your …
Earlier this week I wrote about our adventures at Rookwood Cemetery. With such a vast area to cover and only an afternoon to explore we focused on the Catholic section and made a promise to return. I think that is going to happen a little earlier than I anticipated with news of a fantastic opportunity …
Since I could walk, I have explored cemeteries across Australia with mum. We particularly like old cemeteries and those with points of difference like the one in Macedon, Victoria that has the most beautiful sculptor above the grave. So when my Mum and Dad drove up from Melbourne to visit my family before flying …
Sydney isn’t exceptionally warm in Spring. It’s also not that cold. With nothing planned on a lazy Sunday morning, I decided to be a little spontaneous and take the kids to Cronulla so we could walk the Dog Walk and perhaps spot a dolphin or two. I was surprised to find parking right next to Cronulla Park. …
Just after his seventh birthday, Master R declared that he was now too old for birthday parties and would be quite happy with a ‘get together’ in the future. Perplexed by this, I asked him what he meant. He informed me that older kids invite a few friends around for a chat and drinks. As …
After a wonderful experience at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia we thought we would extend our experience with a trip to one of the most beautiful art galleries in the world, the Art Gallery of NSW – www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au. Established in 1871, the Gallery is situated a short walk from the CBD in The Domain next to the Royal Botanic …
Miss N is incredibly intrigued by craft at the moment. It’s as if her hands are restless and need to be occupied with a creative task. When her birthday arrived a couple of weeks ago she was gifted a number of craft kits which we have agreed to work through together each Monday afternoon. Our …
Nestled atop the very top of the Great Dividing Range is the tiny little township of Newbury. It is so small that it doesn’t even have its own postcode sharing Trentham’s where there is actually a shop or two. It’s a place where memories are created: a first horse ride; a first motorbike ride; yabbie fishing; bush …
On our trip to Fremantle we made a pit stop at the Fremantle Market – fremantlemarkets.com.au where we were promised a foodie heaven and an animal farm to keep the kids busy. Oh my how we were spoilt! There were so many options we didn’t know where to start. Whilst the markets are considerably smaller than …
It was in Perth that Master R declared that he had to learn how to blow bubbles with his Hubba Bubba. Chewing gum was fun but blowing a huge big bubble would make it even better. Mastering bubbles became an obsession and I watched him for an entire day practicing again and again. The persistence …
