We had a free day today in Ballarat and were invited to explore the Sovereign Hill outdoor museum! Sovereign Hill is a really fun and educational (but don’t tell the kids that!) day out with the family. We had seen the Sound and Light show there last night, and were keen to explore this historical tourist park in daylight. Rest-assured, you are […]
How lovely it was to wake up this morning to the peace and quiet of the Cape Otway Lightstation before the day tourists started arriving – and to see a lighthouse out of my bedroom window! We went over to the Cafe for a very tasty full cooked breakfast – poached eggs smothered in the most delectable mushrooms for me […]
Phew – what a day! Lots of fun for everyone, lots of driving for me – ah, the joys of being a single parent! We headed off from Wangaratta and straight to McDonalds drive-through to grab some drinks to chase down our hotel brekkie (I think I’m already putting weight on from all the hot breakfasts!), then […]
With the summer school holidays in full swing I decided to cool the family off at Jamberoo Action Park – here is our ride-by-ride family guide!

We had a great time at the Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales show today! There’s still time to get your family some of that Disney magic as this amazing production tours Australia… The crowd was abuzz – Disney fans, from the tiniest toddler right up to the biggest kid (okay, us fanatical adults […]
Today we visited the Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Canberra – but found it more suited to teens than younger children… With the rain coming down in buckets and school holiday boredom fast setting in, I decided to take the kids, Samantha (7), Brooke (9), to try out one of the new Trampoline arenas that are popping up all […]
Canberra Floriade 2014 is now open and as beautiful as ever – and on a bright sunny day, who can resist its allure? Not us! I grabbed the kids, and we went a-Floriade-reviewing…. Floriade is on again, and if ever you needed an excuse to make the drive down from Sydney to Canberra, Floriade is […]
Check out the spring babies at Taronga Zoo these September school holidays! And 5 families get to go to the zoo on us, thanks to Taronga Zoo! Spring has certainly sprung at Taronga Zoo, Sydney with new babies popping up all over the place – and there are some rather unexpected additions to the zoo coming […]
