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.

My wanderlust, although partially satiated by travelling within my own country, has still kept me thirsting for something more. I’m lusting for new adventures to foreign lands.
