Australia — My Travel Stories

Sydney, Australia

Sydney, Australia April, 2023 Iconic Sydney A perfect recharge from the go, go, go of Vietnam and Cambodia. For us, Sydney was about reconnecting with family and exploring the coastal walks.It was an absolute treat to see cousins, some for the very first time and others for the first time in 35 years! The bond of family runs deep. What a fantastic city this is! Very much like Vancouver but 2.5 times bigger…and with a much cooler accent. Up close to the opera house.

Yulara, Australia

Yulara, Australia April, 2023 Sacred Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa I can’t begin to describe the beauty of the landscape in Yulara where we had the privilege of exploring Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa. The colours and views are in constant flux with the ever changing angles of the sun, from sunrise to sunset.

Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide, Australia April, 2023 Alluring Adelaide Amazing to meet up with the other half of my inspiration to travel to Australia. We’ve been planning to come for 16 years, ever since Maggie Measday and her family moved in for a short stay two doors down from our house in Vancouver. South Australia has everything you need! The beach, killer wine and a lovely city. The people are pretty awesome too. Our first landing point in South Australia!

Flinders Ranges

Flinders Ranges April, 2023 Formidable Flinders Ranges A road trip like no other! Maggie and Doug, our guides extraordinaire, took us on the most amazing adventure through the outback to the Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound. Storms, hiking, feral animals and unexpected mud baths!

Queensland, Australia

Queensland, Australia April, 2023 We finished our time in Australia in the north east of the country and explored a whole different kind of nature. The Daintree Rainforest, full of plants in overdrive, and the Great Barrier Reef, in all its brilliant and fading glory, were a privilege to visit. It is not lost on us that this is a dwindling world that we humans need to work hard at keeping alive, for our planet’s sake.
