24 Hours in the Outback
A visit to the Outback, the vast desert region in the center of Australia, is a must-do when living in Australia. We opted for a brief 24-hour visit to one of the most visited parts of the Outback: Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, home to the rock formations of Kata Tjuta and Uluru.
A Rough Weekend at Whitsundays
Our trip to the Whitsunday Islands was not without problems: it started when our flight got diverted to a different airport due to bad weather (again!).

Yet, despite our lack of luck, we were still able to see what we came for: Whitsunday Islands.

So, we did what thousands of Australians do each year: visit Bali in Indonesia. But, we decided to make a stop in Darwin first, to see the beauty of the Northern Territory.
A Taste of South Australia
After getting a great deal on flights to Adelaide we decided a one-hour flight sounded way better then an 18-hour car-ride from Melbourne. With limited time, we hit the ground running as soon as we landed, and visited Kangaroo Island, Adelaide, and the Barossa Valley in just two days.
Mornington Peninsula & Phillip Island Day Trips
If you are looking to escape Melbourne, are interested in wildlife and relaxation, and are looking for a unique experience, Phillip Island and the Mornington Peninsula are a mere ninety-minute drive away. We spent a day on Phillip Island, before heading to Mornington for a day of bathing at the Peninsula Hot Springs.
