Before I wrap-up my Great Ocean Road travel story, I need to write in a separate post the towns that you will more likely to stop and stay while travelling on this long road. The Great Ocean Road is indeed a long stretch with 243 kilometres starting from the town of Torquay to Allansford. It …
It was our third day exploring the Great Ocean Road and while the weather was perfect on our first and second day, the third day was a complete turn-around. On our second night while staying at Port Campbell, the weather turned sour that there was no mobile signal and worst no Wi-Fi much to my boys’ dismay. We slept …

Sad fact, I live in Australia for more than 20 years now but this was the first time I’ve been to the Great Ocean Road. What took me this long, I don’t exactly know. I guess, I’m more interested to see far flung places rather than exploring my own backyard. Having mentioned that, the …

It’s maybe a cliché stating this but I’ve witnessed the best sunset in my life after quite some time. The last time I was mesmerised over a sunset was years back in the Philippines while the best sunrise I had was in Niagara Falls. We went to Victoria to see the Great Ocean Road at the end of …
People generally consider the major cities when visiting a country but sometimes smaller cities are worth checking out too especially if the attractions are not available in the bigger ones. If you plan to visit down under think also of Launceston in the island state of Tasmania. My family spent a week long of R&R and …
If you’ve seen my previous posts about Launceston, you would notice that I haven’t shown the look of the city which I think is the most important of all. And I’m not gonna skip that, I just had too much pictures that I don’t know how to trim it down without making anyone getting bored. …
On the previous post, I was having a picnic on the river’s edge overlooking the suspension bridge. While this time I was walking along the bridge with my boys in tow. I tell you, I was quite nervous when we were approaching the bridge hesitating what if it would collapse. Thank God, it didn’t so I …
What? Going on a picnic while on a holiday? It was Christmas day, everything was close and that’s the only sane thing to do when we were in Launceston. It was our second time to be in Cataract Gorge, we went there on the first day where we crossed the suspension bridge (story on my next post). Cataract Gorge is …
I haven’t mentioned about my 2019 goals yet because quite frankly I don’t have one. Nothing wrong to write down plans for the year, in fact it is the best thing to put into writing and check how you go. But if there’s one thing I want to do this year that is to travel and travel more. Having a …
Explore your backyard before looking offshore, so I heard it over and over. Yet, it took us this long to go down to our island state, Tasmania. We spent last Christmas in Launceston, the second largest city of Tassie and stayed for almost a week. I expected it to be a quiet and serene place …
