Qantas Airlines – Family Friendly Airline

Qantas airlines family friendly travel

Like so many Aussies, it's only natural we have flown Qantas on many occasions. Both domestically and internationally, and even after all these years, they remain one of our favourite airlines for family friendly or any kind of travel. Founded back in 1920 in the Queensland outback, Qantas has ... Read More

BIG4 Mackay Marine Tourist Park

We recently took a surprise mini break to Mackay as part of Simon's birthday celebrations. Mackay is somewhere he loved to visit growing up and where some of his extended family still reside so I thought it might be a fun long weekend holiday for the four of us! It was only 3 weeks earlier we ... Read More

We Went Travelling Without Kids: First Parents Only Trip

We recently had our first kid free holiday in about 6 years. It was technically a work trip, but the kind of work trip that involves a luxury resort and a whole lot of fun. Not a boring work trip with stuffy conferences and actual work! So for once we decided to keep costs down and go for a parents ... Read More

  • It's like another world! When we were up the top of Gubalowka a decade ago, it was so peaceful away from the hub of activity. Quiet, silent... barely a person around. It was pretty cool to just stop and enjoy the views and feel like we were the only two people in the world for a few moments in time. . Have you ever been somewhere that felt like you were alone in the world? . . . . . . . #TBNTravel #ftb100 #travelfun #exploreourearth #explorenation #travelpreneur #travelshots #travellog #travellife #travelvibes #travelmoments #travelislife #travelista #travelbloggerlife #travelpassion #snow #winter #poland #zakopane @zakopane_official #throwbacktrip #tatramountains #mountgubalowka
  • Oh, to be young again! 10 years, 2 kids, many trips later... ❄️ It was Christmas Eve when this pic was taken. Simon and I rode the Funicular in Zakopane up Mt Gubalowka. It was fairly quiet being Christmas Eve and we took a walk along snow covered roads with snow capped trees. For someone who had never experienced snow before this trip, it was pretty surreal. ❄️ One less fond memory of this day was the fact our thermals were in the wash, so it was already cold... and I managed to step off the side of a road into a deep pile of snow up to my knee. Pretty much spent the rest of our mountain visit with frozen jeans. Fun... . . . . . . . #TBNTravel #ftb100 #travelfun #exploreourearth #explorenation #travelpreneur #travelshots #travellog #travellife #travelvibes #travelmoments #travelislife #travelista #travelbloggerlife #travelpassion #poland #zakopane #gubawobka #snow #winterinpoland #polandtravel
  • Zakopane - one of the most beautiful places in Poland. Zakopane is the perfect place for a winter escape. In fact, you will feel like you stepped straight into the North Pole at Christmas time. . Zakopane is located in Southern Poland, at the base of the glorious Tatra Mountains. And these beautiful wooden chalets and buildings are what greet you when you arrive in town. . We spent our first, and so far only, white Christmas in Zakopane 10 years ago. While we have not yet visited in the summer months, it is a popular destination all year round due to the scenery and location. . . . . . . . . #TBNTravel #ftb100 #travelfun #exploreourearth #explorenation #travelpreneur #travelshots #travellog #travellife #travelvibes #travelmoments #travelislife #travelista #travelbloggerlife #travelpassion #zakopane #poland #snow #winter #zakopane_official
  • There are a lot of beautiful and super cool buildings out there in the world. This is one of my favourites! This building that seems to be defying gravity as it floats off the side of the bridge is the Bamberg Old Town Hall. 🏤 Bamberg is a beautiful town in Bavarian Germany that always stayed with me for the very reason of this building! We have been twice now. In summer and in winter. In winter there are of course Christmas markets! 🏤 Bamberg old town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with plenty of other delightful places to visit like this. The town is built across Seven Hills, each with a different church in place. . . What are some of your favourite buildings in the world? . . . . . . . #travel #travelblogger #familytravel #travelling #instatravel #vacation #travelblog #travelphotography #traveladdict #toursim #instravelling #globetrotter #visitbavaria #germany #visitgermany #bamberg #eurotrip #oldtownhall #bambergtownhall #unescoworldheritage #unescoworldheritagesite #river #bridge #townhall #oldtown #throwbacktrip
  • When visiting Neuschwanstein Castle, you will notice another castle looking across from you in this pretty little town. Hohenschwangau Castle. ⠀ 🏰⠀ Just like it's larger counterpart, Hohenschwangau Castle is well worth a visit and boasts some pretty impressive history of its own. It was the royal residence of King Ludwig II and his mother, following the death of King Maximilian.⠀ The town is picturesque, especially when you are surrounded by the views of both these castles. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #travel #travelblogger #familytravel #travelling #instatravel #vacation #travelblog #travelphotography #traveladdict #toursim #instravelling #globetrotter #Hohenschwangau #Hohenschwangaucastle #neuschwanstein #germany #castle #winter #snow #palace #royalresidence #bavaria #visitbavaria #december #germancastle
  • While we are focusing on some of the most beautiful structures in Germany, there is a town we have visited twice now in Bavaria. due to it being such a perfect central hub when visiting the Bavarian cities - Wurzburg. . This structure is the Marienberg Fortress, left bank of the Main river in Würzburg. And when you visit the Fortress, you can get some pretty incredible views of Wurzburg too. On your way back down, enjoy a bite to eat or a drink at one of the many places along the bridge too. Such a quaint part of town. . Wurzburg is a great spot to stay for day trips to Nuremburg, Bamburg or even Frankfurt. We simply jumped on the train each day for another city. It took a couple of hours but it was easy to have a base to stay each night rather than lugging suitcases to each new city. . . . . . . #germany #bavaria #bavariantravel #visitbavaria #wurzburg #würzburg #Marienbergfortress #fortress #tower # #travelblogger #familytravel #travelling #instatravel #vacation #travelblog #travelphotography #traveladdict #toursim #instravelling #globetrotter #visitfranconia #europeantour #flashbacktrip #canonpointandshoot #flashback #10yearsago #2008
  • Just like a fairytale! 🏰 That first moment you see Neuschwanstein Castle is breathtaking. Little wonder it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Europe. It is also said to have been the inspiration for Cinderella's castle at Disneyland. ⠀ *⠀ The castle was built to be a secluded home for King Ludwig II who was believed to be a little on the crazy side, due to his extravagant tastes. My favourite part of the castle is the outdoor room he had built. Super cool! ⠀ *⠀ You can only enter the castle as part of a guided tour which is in effort of keeping the castle from disarray due to the volume of tourists visiting each year. Guided tours are a great way to learn the history of a castle though, so it is well worth doing! I'd love to visit again in the warmer months to see the contrast of not having those snow capped mountains, although I don't think it will be quite the same!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #germany #neuschwanstein #neuschwansteincastle #kingludwig #bavaria #eurotrip #europeanwinter #winter #castle #palace #royalpalace #fairytalecastle ⠀ #traveladdicts #travelblogger #familytravel #travelling #instatravel #vacation #travelblog #travelphotography #traveladdict #toursim #instravelling #globetrotter #throwbacktrip
  • Continuing on with our throwback trip, after our week in Paris we moved onto our next country destination... Germany! * While I had my very first experience with snow in Paris, it was so light that it was almost like rain. When we reached Germany, we were greeted with fairytale scenes like this one. This is actually the road to Neuschwanstein Castle and it was so peaceful strolling along admiring the winter wonderland. The walk up the hill was a bit exhausting... but worth it! * I was 25 at the time and it was the first time I had seen snow. Crazy, right?! How old were you the first time you saw snow? . . . . . . . #winter #europeanwinter #germany #snow #road #eurotrip #neuschwanstein #travelblogger #familytravel #travelling #instatravel #vacation #travelblog #travelphotography #traveladdict #toursim #instravelling #globetrotter #firsttimeseeingsnow #throwbacktrip #decembersnow #winterwonderland #travelog #traveloften #wanderlusting
