Cooktown charmed us with laid-back days, sunset cruises, museums, and even a cheeky paddle for Zoe. We wrapped it all up at the iconic Lions Den Hotel—live music, hearty meals, and full hearts.

From swimming holes to rainforest tracks, our time between Babinda and Kuranda was a mix of sightseeing, family catch-ups, and a long-overdue crocodile feast.

Exploring North Queensland took us from the busy streets of Townsville to the calm waters of Big Crystal Creek and the sheer power of Wallaman Falls. City views, creek swims, and unforgettable waterfalls in one stretch.

Litchfield’s waterfalls and swimming holes gave us three days of cool, easy walking and clear water. From Florence Falls to Buley and Wangi, this Top End park delivers exactly what hot travellers need.

Robin Falls, tucked away near Adelaide River, is one of those places that feels like a secret waiting to be shared.

Our time in Katherine gave us the chance to experience the heart of the Northern Territory. This charming town, rich in history and surrounded by natural beauty, offered plenty to explore.

After weeks in the dry, dusty outback, arriving at Bitter Springs and Mataranka felt like stepping into paradise. We decided to spend a full week here, giving ourselves the time to relax, recharge, and soak in the natural beauty of the region.

A quiet camp near the Grampians with wide skies and easy access to Great Western’s historic wineries. Lake Lonsdale offers a relaxed stop between open water, local history, and good wine.
