Australia is a huge continent, all 7.692 million km² of it. I know the news coming out from Down Under since late July 2019 have been nothing but about bushfires and may likely affect your intention to visit the gorgeous destination. But here's the low-down - Not all places on the vast continent are affected, it's still safe to travel to...
This exploratory trip to the laidback resort town with Alvin Foo (Principal, Canon Imaging Academy) and Cindy Loo (Jetabout Holidays) convinced me that Broome is certainly a photographers' heaven in Western Australia.
For cityfolks with a penchant for non-touristy, serene and unhurried pace of life or photography enthusiasts looking for spectacular nature, wildlife and landscape or couples planning pre-wedding...
Australia has always been one of the world's powerhouses for exciting activities that adrenaline junkies swear by - skydiving, shark diving, kite surfing, hang gliding, bungee jumping, just to name a few. Coming from a tiny highly urbanised country like Singapore, where land and airspace are extremely limited, the opportunity to enjoy thermal gliding is non-existent as huge tracts of land and airspace with the right conditions are required.
Being an aerial enthusiast when I was an avid...
This one week exploration trip to Canberra - the capital of Australia and the surrounding regions reveals one thing - Australia is consistently beautiful, whichever the region. Just slightly different with each having its own 'personalities and flavours'. Most of my friends' impression of Canberra, being the seat of political headquarter, is 'less exciting' though they did not visit before. They could not be more wrong.
Western Australia has always been many Asians' (especially Singaporeans) fave destination in Down Under. It's just a quick 4.5-hours flight away with the same time zone and we are ready for a fabulous vacation. Perth is the gateway to the Coral Coast, which is ideal for travelers who enjoy long drives, beautiful scenery, wildlife and adventures away from touristy location. You can observe wild dolphins up-close at...
Whenever Australia is mentioned, images of wildlife, delicious big portion meals made with fresh local produces, hopping kangaroos, friendly laid-back Aussies always come to my mind. Indeed, Australia is a popular travel destination for vacationers from all corners of the world with Sydney and Melbourne taking the top two ranking as the country's most visited cities. My trips to various parts of the beautiful country opened my eyes how spectacular and yet how...
When was the last time you truly love your vacation and missed it deeply after you returned ? If you love long road trips with scenic view, then this is one of the best there is. Just about an hour drive from Sydney, this route is known as the Grand Pacific Drive and is one of Australia most spectacular driving routes. Most visitors are familiar with the metropolitan capital city of Sydney or iconic Gold Coast, so where is New South Wales located?
New South...
As a kid, I was particularly fascinated by all the things that fly, from birds to aeroplanes cruising high in the blue skies and marking contrails.. I always wondered, how amazing it would be to pilot a plane. But as life would have it, my aerial ambition would remain a childhood dream.
Most of our encounter with aeroplanes are usually with the airliners we took on an overseas vacation. It gets you in comfort to...
During my last trip to South Australia, I "stumbled" on a little piece of gem. Due to inclement weather, my travel mate and I chose to explore Hahndorf instead of the Pink Lake, as the dark overcast skies were threatening to open up. What we lost in our aborted plan, we gained by the visit to this little charming village that is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement which celebrated its 179 years as this...
In most of my travel overseas, a visit to the city or town main market is a must as it's the best place to get a feel and dynamism of the locale. A market tells a lot about the country that you are visiting. In Adelaide, a visit to the Central Market is a definite must-do. It has been described as a "multicultural hub with fresh produce, gourmet goods and lots of heart" in the South Australia Travel Idea Travel Ideas...
