The McLaren Vale is one of the Adelaide’s premium wine regions, with over 120 vineyards creating countless bottles of stunning wine every year. Many of the vineyards in the McLaren Vale are traditional style vineyards with tasting rooms and cellar doors, but at d’Arenberg wines they have tried something different.

My Epic Drive Along The Great Ocean Road

One thing which I have always wanted to do on my previous trips to Australia is to drive the Great Ocean Road. Due to my previous visits to Australia being considerably shorter than my most recent trip, I just haven't had the chance. So this was at the top of my list for my most recent trip.

My Tropical Cairns Beachfront Break

I first visited Cairns on my very first trip to Australia many years ago, but unfortunately I hadn’t re-visited this stunning part of the country until my most recent trip to Australia. Cairns is a picture-perfect costal town located in Queensland’s far north, surrounded by lush green rainforests. The coastline to the north is crammed […]

A Day out on The Great Barrier Reef

WorldWideWill — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 02:33:32 +0000

I first visited the Great Barrier Reef 13 years ago, during my very first trip to Australia. My visit was just a day trip from Cairns to Green Island, which is a small island located about 90 minutes out to sea from Cairns. It was a wonderful experience, but I have always wanted to go back and take one of the trips to the outer reef, to see more of this truly beautiful part of the world.
