So you’ve finally received the golden handshake. Going to work five days a week is no more. Your time has now become your own. Isn’t this what you’ve been working towards your entire life – retirement? For some, it is the start of a whole new exciting life. It can also mean travel in retirement…
During my travels throughout Australia I have noticed a lot of places that have a reference to animals. I guess in a country like ours that is abundant with native fauna it comes as no surprise. So, here in no particular order, are some of our Australian places with animal names. Emu Park, Queensland Emu…
It’s always good to revisit a place with fresh eyes after a long interval of being there. In my case it had been at least forty-five years since I visited the Mornington Peninsula, south-east of the Victorian capital, Melbourne.

It was music to my ears! Queensland finally opened up their border to allow us to travel for a short holiday to Hamilton Island. We spent a blissful five days luxuriating on Hamilton Island just prior to Christmas and enjoyed every minute of it.
How do I put it? The past two years have been challenging. Actually, to put it bluntly it has been absolute shite! Nobody would have ever seen it coming. If you had said to me two years ago that we were going to experience a worldwide pandemic that would basically shut the whole world down,…
After almost two years of not being able to travel overseas I confess that I’m longing to visit international travel destinations again.
