Being a big Lord of the Rings fan, I was very  excited to find out  that the movies were made in New Zealand. Visiting the filming locations was on the To Do List for a while. Then finally, my husband (who didn’t like the movies at all) agreed to go and see the Hobbit Holes with me as a birthday gift. I usually don’t like to pay this much for attractions, but this was a special treat for myself. As a matter of fact, we have seen Mt Doom (Mordor), too, when we went to Mt Ruapehu. The New Zealand…

We recently took our family on a holiday to Lord Howe Island to visit some friends who live there.  Could you even imagine living on Lord Howe Island haha. My husband did most of the planning and organising as it was one of his best mates that we were visiting. I knew Lord Howe Island was out in the ocean somewhere off the east coast of Australia but it was going to be completely honest I had never heard of the place until my husband mentioned that his friend had moved there. https://www.instagram.com/p/BAoLhwixJJq/ We have travelled quite a bit with…

This week we tested out a super cheap holiday option and it was great!  First a little history. We have a close family of 21 people … 9 adults and their 12 children and we have a tradition of spending some time together holidaying every Christmas.

This year we still wanted to get together but without too much expense and so we planned a Day Camp where all of the families got together during the days for all sorts of activities and we…

We just spent an amazing four days in the Blue Mountains West of Sydney with the great mix of nature, attractions and so me chilled out relaxed time. We arrived in the Blue Mountains in our motorhome and we were planning to stay either at Katoomba or Blackheath caravan parks. Both are run by the council and the friendly staff  suggested that Blackheath might suit us better … They were right. It’s a small town on the top of the hill with a railway station and plenty of restaurants and cafes. The caravan park is a few hundred metres down the hill and…

As an adult I realise how lucky I am to have lived my whole life near one of the most amazing destinations in the world, but as a kid I had no idea. It doesn’t matter how many times I visit the Gold Coast, each time I’m once again blown away by how amazing it is. Since having kids, it’s become a frequent…

It’s changed so much since I was a kid, but is still one of my favourite places to holiday with the family.
