  3. Canberra: There’s Something To It!

    Blog: Away Together - 14 March 2010

  4. Roadtrip: Grand Pacific Drive!

    Blog: Snaps and Flip Flops - 10 March 2010

You can virtually stop anywhere and get the best view no matter what, secluded beaches, rainforests, quaint coastal towns and lighthouses. If you ever do take that drive, be sure to bring some swimwear and a change of clothes. With the number of beaches you'll pass by, i'm pretty sure you'll be tempted to test the waters. Or stay the night.

  7. Hyams Beach, NSW

    Blog: Oh, the places you'll go! - 10 January 2010

    I visited Hyams Beach for a day in 1980 and all I remembered was white sand and wonderful swimming. Roo, Tash and I spent a week at Hyams Beach over New Year 2010 and memory had served me well. The area goes straight into my top ten kid friendly holiday destinations in Australia with a bullet [...]
