16.01.2022 Dreamtime up North. I’ve always been fascinated by the Dreamtime stories, the beliefs and creation stories connected to this land. There is so much we can learn from a culture that has lived in our harsh but beautiful red land for over 50,000 years. Visit locations & indigenous communities is such a beautiful experience & it’s so inspiring to see these stories being represented.

15.01.2022 No need to head to the US to see the famous wave rock. We have our own and if I'm biased (even better) version in our own backyard. Get in contact and let me take you there.

13.01.2022 The face of travel has changed and is still changing. Our world is evolving in a phenomenal way. The way we travel, where we travel, how we travel, and why we travel is a shifting change. The pause we currently have on our lives is giving us time to reflect and truly appreciate the luxury and ease in which we move around our planet. To travel is a true privilege. The world is still there waiting for us. For when we are able to once again cross borders, mingle with cultures di...fferent to ours and further educate ourselves of the world beyond once more. If you are in the dreaming phase and would like me to be part of it, please include me. If your ready to book and want to have that holiday to look forward to, you know where I am. If your one of the lucky ones who is not in lockdown and can travel and explore parts of our beautiful country, or if your overseas, your own country and would like my assistance to book and help support small business I am here to assist and am forever grateful. Please don't forget by booking through me you not only get my industry expertise, tips and knowledge, you automatically get the benefit of our Financial protection which in my eyes is vital for any booking small or large in this day and age. Make sure your money is protected and your booking flexible in case the unknown happens again.

13.01.2022 We Victorians may not be able to go to Queensland but maybe you can! I have some ideas for you. Queensland Borders open to all states (but Victorians for now) from the 10th July.

13.01.2022 Online is for looking, Travel Agents are for booking! I will just leave this here so you know where your money really is going when/if booking direct online (Please don’t anymore, those times should be done and dusted) Though hit hard, the travel industry will bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic with your support. You may not think of me for domestic travel as it’s been a simple look and click in the past, but in this day and age we need to be wary of where and who we s...pend our dollars with and more than ever we need to know that if everything goes belly up (again!) you have the backing support of an agent like myself. Don’t forget about the benefit of our financial protection you automatically gain by booking your travel with me, which covers you if any supplier or airline is to go under (something no other agency or the internet offers). You know how you've been supporting your local cafes, bars, and restaurants? Local travel agents, tour operators, wholesalers, and properties need that same support from you. Before you book online, please consider reaching out to me or your local Travel Agent to help you plan your Australian experiences, and keep your money local with small businesses and stop and consider where your money is going. Support local! Support travel agents! Support Australian business and their employees! And just remember who was there to actually help when Australians were stranded overseas trying to come home at the start of the pandemic, we all know the internet wasn’t helping one bit and in these times of refunds I hear the same thing is happening. #Supportsmallbusiness #HolidayHerethisYear

03.01.2022 When winter blankets the country's southern states there's a great excuse to head North. A giant drawcard in August are humpback whales in the Whitsundays - it's calving season and the passage transforms into a cetacean crèche. See the Aboriginal cave paintings at Nara Inlet, frolic with green turtles in Tongue Bay, bushwalk between lookouts at Cid Harbour and hike to Tongue Point on Whitsunday Island for aerial views of some of the world's most dazzling beaches.... I have a list ready to create your perfect winter escape. Get in contact.

01.01.2022 Attention Australians and New Zealanders. Would you believe me if I said I could get you to another continent this year? With all the doom in and gloom in the media and the grasp of any International travel on the horizon diminished, the travel depression definitely has set in for me but what if I was to say I hold the key to a travel bubble that is going to open between Australia and New Zealand to Antarctica? Which by the way is 100% COVID free. Macquarie Island is a sub-...Antarctic island, a wildlife paradise and funnily enough owned by Australia! This wild little island at the bottom of the world will blow your mind. Fun Fact - Although Antarctica trips from Argentina are much more popular(approximately 50,000 people visit Antarctica from Argentina or Chile each year, whereas less than 1,000 people visit from Australia/ NZ), the wildlife in many ways is better. The New Zealand and Australian sub- Antarctica islands (Macquarie Island, Auckland Islands, Campbell Islands, and the Snares) have more penguin species than the likes of South Georgia, the famed sub-Antarctica wildlife location departing from Argentina. And that’s before you even get to the Ross Sea. The Ross Sea is almost certainly the most pristine marine environment on the planet and is teeming with wildlife. For example, it’s near impossible to see an Emperor Penguin on a regular Antarctica trip from Argentina, whereas it’s very, very likely on a Ross Sea trip. Royal, Snares, Yellow-eyed, King & Emperor Penguins... Elephant Seals, Royal Albatross, mind-blowing history, Tabular Icebergs and so much more. Departures will be running from November 2020 March 2022. As Antarctica is COVID free and passengers will not visit another continent, this is likely to be the only way Australians can explore further afield than Australia and NZ without having to worry about COVID or having to quarantine on their return (TBC with government approvals) Deposits have very flexible cancellation policies due to the current climate and border restrictions. These trips will sell out as it’s the only opportunity for Australians and Kiwi’s to visit another continent this year. Strict COVID19 screening process and the trips are only available to Aussies and KIWI’s You know the drill, message below for more info and this has just been launched and will sell fast so don’t be disappointed.
