I have a strange fondness for quirky frontier towns. So when I first read about the eccentric opal mining community in Lightening Ridge, out in the desert of New South Wales, I knew I had to visit. We like to take one or two road trips per year, so this became our Easter road trip destination. Why Visit Lightening Ridge? Lightening Ridge is an eccentric little town where you can get your fill of outback vibes, while still being reasonably close to civilization. I had not heard of Lightening Ridge until recently, and for years I have wanted to visit the opal mining center of Coober Pedy. Howeve ..read more

Hamilton island is well known for many things.  It’s known for luxury, weddings, honeymoons, and romance. It’s known for it’s beauty, it’s access to the Great Barrier Reef, and it’s position among the Whitsunday Islands. But there were a few things I didn’t known about Hamilton Island. I didn’t know that it is an epic destination for families. I also didn’t know that it has some amazing short day hikes available. Needless to say, I was very happy with these surprises. If you plan on visiting more islands in the near future, then consider checking out the best caribbean island for babymoon ..read more

5 Family Friendly Day Hikes in Mt Kosciuszko National Park
OurOyster.com – Oceania
by ouroystercom
2y ago
A couple weeks ago we spent a week camping, hiking, and road tripping. Our ultimate destination was Kosciuszko National Park. It’s currently summer in Australia, so the area is much quieter and calmer than it would be during the snow season. Despite the lack of snow, Kosciuszko is magical in the summer off season. As a family, we are more into hiking anyways, and the low season (summer season) is absolutely perfect for this. We stayed in the small town of Cooma at a local camp ground. Other towns with plentiful accommodation options are Thredbo or Jindabyne. Coooma is further away from the tra ..read more

Moai and More on Easter Island

Easter Island has been a huge bucket list item for me since for as long as I can remember. There was no way I was going to Santiago and not also going to Easter Island. There are only two places which offer flights to Easter Island – or Rapa Nui – as it’s properly called – and those places are Santiago and Tahiti. Rapa Nui is pretty much as middle of no where as you can possibly get. It’s a five hour flight from Santiago, and don’t expect to get any sweet deals on that either. But we decided to feel a little bit of credit card pain and tick this massive item from our lists. We decided to spen ..read more
