With Australia Day next week, it got me thinking to what it would take to be considered a local by Sydney standards. I’ve been in the lucky country for just over a decade in total, if not consecutively, and although I like to think I can keep up with the best of them on a […]

The Harbour City is the perfect destination for a weekend break. Offering delicious dining and sophisticated wining options, as well as world class entertainment, Sydney has something for everyone. The jewel in Sydney’s crown is undoubtedly Sydney Harbour, and the city’s spectacular setting in beautiful natural surrounds. There are always plenty of things to do […]
For a few years now, travel has been one of the defining factors of my life, one of the top priorities that won over most other things. When you have a passion for something, it often subsumes everything else – as it should. But this year I’ve had to dampen the wanderlust. Extenuating factors meant […]
There’s plenty of things to do in Sydney, but if you’re looking for something different a little further afield, the city is perfectly placed for day trips into the mountains or the coast. Whether you’re looking for a calm break away from the Big Smoke, a nature excursion or an afternoon exploring charming sandstone villages, […]
Sydney can often seem a little bland to international visitors. The city has a bounty of natural attractions, but fewer cultural, quirky things to do, that give other global metropolises their panache and edge. But there are hidden gems if you know where to look. After you’ve seen the Harbour, snapped a picture with the […]
TELEGRAMME URGENT Ils arrivent. Nous devons agir rapidement, mes frères et sœurs. Le temps est essentiel. hâte maintenant. Vive La Résistance!

With so many events taking place this year in Australia, those looking for a memorable experience are spoiled for choice. From music festivals to fashion shows to rock concerts, there’s plenty to see, do, and experience this year across all of the country’s major cities.

For many travellers, the dream is of course, to be able to be a perpetual vagabond, on the road as long as there’s a new place to go, new sights to see. Others have done it, and have inspired me to want to do it; but I’m not so sure I’d want to be on […]
There’s so many things to see and do in Sydney that often visitors neglect the live music scene. There’s nothing quite like the energy and immediacy of a live music performance, and here in Sydney, almost every bar you go to will have, at some stage, a live band performing – rock, pop, or jazz – […]
Diner en Blanc is a pop-up picnic, flash mob style where all guests have to wear white. In fact, everything is white – chairs, tables, table settings and accessories – and BYO. At the beginning of the evening, groups converge on meeting points throughout the city, then are whisked away by arranged transportation to a […]
Blessed with sparkling blue waters, a gracious harbour and perennial good weather, Sydney is not only Australia’s largest city, but also, to my biased opinion, the most beautiful. Some visitors may feel like this world-class city lacks truly spectacular sights, but the best part of Sydney (like so much of Australia) lies in the great […]
Going Downunder? Deciding what to pack for Australia can be challenging. The country’s diverse environments and climates, along with a plethora of available nature activities, coupled with sophisticated urban cities and the great outdoors often mean you need to be prepared for every situation when deciding what to wear travelling around Australia. ere are 5 […]
What to do when the weather changes and the mercury dips ever lower? Here in Sydney, winter isn’t the cold, scary beast it is in more extreme climes. There’s still plenty of opportunity to get into the great outdoors, and if you’re not up for getting into the water, then at the very least, you […]
