Let’s break this down a little! Obviously no road trip in Australia is the same.

    8 Best reasons to discover the Art Culture of Australia. From the other side of the world, Australian Art may not be the first thing which comes to mind when deciding to visit the land of OZ. As someone from Melbourne, Victoria, there are less stretches of desert and warm beaches down here, and more coffee, laneways, art galleries and nightlife in Melbourne than most other places in Australia. I have been very influenced by the artistic nature of Melbourne, the wider Australian art culture, and some of the famous artists in Australia. For this reason I pass on my 8 Best Reasons to Discover the Art Culture of Australia.…

  • The Best and The Worst Tourist Attractions in Australia

    October 28, 2020 /

From the world renowned (Sydney Opera House in New South Wales to Uluru in Central Australia), to the lesser known (secluded beach destinations and off the beaten track road trips), it’s not surprising that travellers sometimes choose to fly up to 2 days to visit this unforgettable country. As an Australian (born and bred in Victoria), I thought i’d list some of the best tourist attractions and some of the worst tourist attractions in this nation, including an ultimate list of Australia’s ‘BIG THINGS’, famous beaches and some of the tourist traps to avoid. Please note, these are my personal opinions, and to…
