Tips for an Australian Road Trip

Posted on September 20, 2018 by Lesley | 1 Comments

Australia is an incredible country that’s on everyone’s bucket list, but it can be pretty expensive. It’s a large place and if you want to get around a lot of it, that means lots of flights and the cost can soon rack up. If you’re staying in hotels, hostels, or even Airbnb that’s going to cost you a lot as well….

Extravagance in The Tree Tops at Secrets On The Lake

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Peter Bateman | 0 Comments

I find it hard to compromise when I travel; I often find myself forgoing the indulgent hotels in favor of the gritty hostel, campsite, or staying with locals. It’s not about saving money; it’s about getting to know somewhere (It’s also about saving money). Sometimes that can be difficult curled up in your duck feather duvet, sipping on tiny bottles…

Floating in Complete Isolation with Flow AU, Brisbane

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Peter Bateman | 0 Comments

There’s thinking about travel, there’s dreaming about travel, there’s planning travel, and then there’s actually travelling. The truth is it rarely turns out how we imagined. I’ve spent a lot of time adventuring outside, but it’s only recently that I have started to look at adventuring inward. I’ve started to notice benefits in productivity, stress reduction, and happiness from regular meditation. …

Byron Bay Sky Dive Exiting the Plane

Free Falling Byron Bay with Skydive Australia

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Peter Bateman | 16 Comments

My typical idea of adventure is something like climbing a mountain, hiking into a jungle, or sailing to a deserted island. It’s about the journey and for a while I have kind of associated a ‘good’ adventure with something that takes time and patience to achieve. Man, was I wrong! I just landed safely back on Earth after the team at…

Cradle Mountain: Tasmania, Australia

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Jen Curley | 1 Comments

When I was a kid, the two most exotic sounding places to me were Timbuktu and Tasmania.  In fact, it was a long time before I knew that these mythical sounding destinations were real; that they were actual places one could visit.  We haven’t had the opportunity to go to Timbuktu yet, but we did spend a week in Tasmania…

Get Lost in the Graffiti Laneways of Melbourne, Australia

Posted on September 30, 2013 by Kirsten Muolic | 2 Comments

Bucket List Item #3: Get Lost in the Graffiti Laneways of Melbourne, Australia Graffiti has such a negative connotation – unless, that is, you live in Melbourne where it is a widely accepted form of expression and one of the most popular and creative forms of art. I spent almost a year living in Melbourne and one of my favorite…

Befriend a Koala

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Kirsten Muolic | 0 Comments

Bucket List Item #1: Befriend a koala (and possibly kidnap one as well). It has been a lifelong dream of mine to have a pet koala. Yes, a real koala – and YES as an actual pet. Obviously this isn’t allowed in America, so where might I find this cuddly little bear, you might ask? Australia of course. And so I…

In the Path of the Furious Fifties: Macquarie Island

Posted on January 9, 2013 by Suellen | 1 Comments

A Story of Loss and Learning in the Sub-Antarctic that takes us from commercial exploitation to recognition; from carnage to care-taking. Macquarie Island, Overlooking Sandy Bay I’m guessing many of you had never heard of Macquarie Island (AKA Macca) before I started raving about it, (Parade of the Penguins,  and Southern Elephant Seals: Giant Slugs of the Sea? Or Just a…

10 Seconds of Courage

Posted on October 29, 2012 by chelseastuart | 1 Comments

There are so many ways you can learn about culture. You can read about it in a book, in a blog, or find it yourself speaking with someone different from you. The other way to do it is as simple as it can be scary: Go there! Think about another culture like a foreign language. Often times, someone studying a new…

Southern Elephant Seals: Giant Slugs of the Sea? Or Just a Lot of Blubber?

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Suellen | 5 Comments

Everywhere I looked elephant seals were piled up like heaps of exhausted Sumo wrestlers.  Sometimes it was easy to overlook them–mistaking them for sand hills.  The penguins must have thought so too, as they paraded amongst them willy-nilly. Penguins and Southern Elephant Seals mostly ignore each other on land The seals are not a threat to the penguins on land,…
