I have never walked the Bondi to Coogee walk in one go. I walked it twice, from opposite ends, on two very different days. Both times I stopped in the same windy clifftop park above Clovelly without...

Watsons Bay sits at the very tip of South Head, the southern gatepost of Sydney Harbour. It was the easiest escape from the city I found in Sydney, and one of the simplest half-day trips you can make...
Sydney hands you the Opera House for free from a dozen different angles. I wrote a whole guide to the best Sydney Opera House viewpoints around the harbour, and every one of those views is real and...
Wherever you go in Sydney, they’re there. Cross a random street, glance between two buildings, and the Sydney Opera House’s white sails and the Sydney Harbour Bridge’s grey arch are...
Thirty-one days, thirty nights, six regions, one country I gave a full month for the first time. Every hotel and every tour below is one I actually booked and actually did.
Seven days, six real day trips, and the reef, laid out so you can build your own version of Cairns itinerary. I flew into Cairns from Melbourne on 17 January, a motel on Sheridan Street booked...

I’d already seen this beach before I ever set foot on it. A jetty reaching out into a bay, recognisable enough from 30,000 feet that I named it in a caption weeks before I could confirm it, on...
Twenty-eight nights, every flight and every day I actually spent, across a country I'd tell anyone to give real time to.
If someone had blindfolded me on my first evening in Cairns and left me on a street corner with every sign covered, I don’t think I could have told them I was in Australia. That’s not a...
Cairns isn’t really the destination – it’s the gateway. I flew this route in January 2026 while making my way around Australia. Five days in Melbourne, then a straight shot north...
Ubud’s budget scene is unusually good for what it costs. Pools, free breakfast, and daily yoga are standard rather than a luxury add-on, and the difference between a big social hostel and a...
