Stories of our travels
The Shanghai Wild Animal Park is home to over 10,000 animals across 200 rare and representative species, housed on 153 acres of land 40km from the centre of Shanghai. It is the first National grade zoo in China and is classified as a theme park. Domestic animals include panda, golden monkey, golden takin and toki […]
The Northern Territory is the outback state of Australia. Its border marked the start of the 130km/h zone and serious croc country, the end of decent cell phone service and the beginning of a marked increase in biodiversity. Western Australia is littered with cattle stations and mines of all shapes and sizes, long, barren, fairly boring […]
The seaside town of Coral Bay, 150km south of Exmouth, is the gateway to the Ningaloo Reef and home to manta ray, whale sharks, dugongs and multiple species of dolphin and turtles as well as hundreds of species of tropical fish and coral. The many species call the Ningaloo Reef home during particular seasons, for […]
The West Coast from Perth to Broome via Kalbarri, Coral Bay and Exmouth – Please scroll to the bottom of this post for full gallery of images Ben and I left Perth on the 30th September. After spending three weeks pouring money into the camper van with the hope of passing the roadworthy test we were […]

For images of the Great Ocean Road from Torquay to Apollo Bay, see our previous post highlighting the amazing […]
What a city. Fitzroy, St Kilda, Torquay, Barwon Heads, Degraves St. Yarraville, Lentils As Anything, pop up galleries, hipsters, crack heads, musos, theatre. If you’re looking for something interesting to look at, Melbourne is bound to satisfy every time. In the four months we lived in Melbourne we fell in love with the culture, the […]
“I would recommend anyone to fly from anywhere around the world just to come to MONA for at least one day.” – Ben Jarvis, exceedingly excited having just seen the ‘poo machine’ fed and poo within three hours of each other. We had allocated an entire day to MONA, the first day after arriving in Tasmania […]
When the time came to depart Hobart for Bruny Island, we had no idea what to expect. I had heard many mentions of Bruny, in that it was beautiful and “you have to go”, but no specific places to go or things to try so we thought we’d just drive on down and see how […]
On the evening we departed Cradle Mountain, we made the decision to press on to the Northern coast and find somewhere to camp closer to the highly regarded surf beach of Marrawah in the top North West corner of Tasmania. A tip from a neighbouring camper in Strahan led us in the dark to the […]
