Suburban Sydney

Word-famous Bondi Beach

Rather than stay in the hustle and bustle of downtown Sydney, where parking is impossible, we found a charming loft apartment in the northern suburb of Dee Why.  Read more →

Sunrise over Batemans Bay

Flying during the coronavirus pandemic is a stressful way to travel however we had no other viable option to get to Sydney.  Brisbane domestic airport was quite busy and social distancing not easy Read more →

We spent almost 6 weeks on the Sunshine Coast, ending up quite by accident in Mooloolaba for the last 4 weeks after finding the near-perfect house.  Situated on a canal with bicycles and paddleboards Read more →

Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders, is one of Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders, is one of the worlds largest waterfalls but was a bit underwhelming in our opinion. From the ground the spray is so intense you can't see very much and at the closest point it's like you are in a shower, we were drenched. From the air you get a much better view of what the falls look like as the Zambezi river plummets in a single vertical drop into a fracture in the plateau. The drop varies from 260ft to 354ft. The spray typically rises over 400 meters obscuring much of the falls from view.
It was an interesting experience but not quite what we had envisioned. The views from the helicopter were the highlight.
