Harry’s Cafe de Wheels – www.harryscafedewheels.com.au is a Sydney institution. It’s history goes right back to the depression in the 1930s when Harry Edwards established a caravan cafe “Harry’s” at the front gates of the Woolloomooloo naval dockyard. In 1938 Harry enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force. He was quickly dubbed “Tiger” due to his talent in the boxing ring (which later …
Investigating one of the forts On every adventure we take, my husband and I sit down and discuss the top 10 places that we each want to visit or activities that we wish to enjoy during our visit. Usually there is a lot of cross over. On some occasions our lists can be completely different and …

Eating out with kids can be lots of fun if you choose your restaurant or cafe well. Don’t choose where to dine simply on their kids menus, we rarely order from these anymore preferring to order a main which we can divide between our two or an entrée each.

I am not necessarily your typical consumer. I shy away from reward cards (unless I can link them to my frequent flyer card) and have resisted signing up for a Woolworths Rewards card.
