Our first camping trip of the summer and we returned to our favourite spot in the Royal National Park, near the one and only town built in the park, Bundeena. The town is located about 20 km into the park; it still astonishes me to see this small town in the middle of no where. […]

This summer we decided to try something a bit different. We went to a highly recommended YHA (youth hostel) in Pittwater which is located in the southern part of Ku-Ring-Gai National Park in North Sydney. The YHA is accessible by ferry which was a huge hit with the kids. Then it’s a bit of a […]
A couple weekends ago (September 14-17) we took our kids to their first snowy experience. Funny that this experience should happen in Australia of all places! The snowy mountain is about a 6 hour drive southwest of us and so we left Thursday after Mike’s class at 2pm and headed out. The kids lasted until […]
Took a while to get this posting finished as I only recently uploaded photos to my computer! We were fortunate to visit Canada again this summer and we made the most of our 2 months there. We stopped in San Franscisco for 4 days before heading to Hamilton, Ontario. Breaking up the flight in this […]

We arrived Thursday March 15 and the campsite was empty. It was around 2pm and the wildlife was prevalent. We […]
This weekend we went on our first family camping trip to Bonnie Vale Campground in the Royal National Park. After driving for just over an hour, we had reached the park and within minutes we were in a dense forest with no signal for cell phones! Amazing that such a place exists so close to […]
For our first trip with two kids, we went to Melbourne, Victoria for 4 days. It’s only a 1.5 hour flight from Sydney so we figured this would be a good starter trip for us. As the weather is unpredictable in Melbourne we planned for hot and cool weather, and ended up with a pleasant […]
At the end of June Mike and I went to San Francisco for 4 days to visit our good friend, Damian. We spent the first day touring around one of the hippie suburbs (whose name I now forget). We saw some amazing street art in that area and so pent the better part of the […]
