i haven’t been to too many places in the world but i think that byron may very well be on of my favourites. marked by jonson street – a retro old fashion main drag – and a style that has a bohemian-surfer influence, the town i populated with expats, backpackers, aussie surfers and people who called this nook home for their…

notetaking of thought provoking moments during road trips, new explorations and quiet weekend getaways (or other adventure riots endured in this mad, crazy world).
ballina to byron.
Touching down. Within five minutes of arriving in Ballina I was questioning why I ditched a seven hour bus ride to Port Macquierie for the convenience of a detour through a small old town on dumpy water (albeit I’m spoiled by the sight of the clear blue along the golden beaches at this point.) However, after wondering…
leaving sydney.
My last day in Sydney and a great one at that. Exhausted by a full eight intense days of sightseeing and exploring it was time to crash at the beach. I know, as ridiculous as it sounds, I had been to four different beaches throughout the week and had only been swimming once! After an…
vintage markets.
A brilliant way to spend a Saturday – a warm Autumn day (yes, Autumn in April) purusing vintage classics and antique treasures at some of Sydney’s finest markets: Fringe market. A usual hotspot for dancing the bar fills up for the day with vendors that spend their time giving cutomers designers collection that you oculd only find…
sydney by night.
Another day of adventuring: -Oxford St., Darlinghurst -Chinatown Night Market -Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Synopsis of today’s travels: After a chilled out day in Maroubra adjusting plans for the second leg of my north of Sydney trip, I was looking forward to a night out in Sydney. Just me and the city. And is this metropolis…
from coogee to bondi to a starry night.
A ‘full on’ day as the Aussies would say: Coogee Beach, Bronte, Bondi Beach, kindered spirits, Glebe Village, Newtown and a night in the stars. Bondi Beach – Bondi is Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”. Its on Australia’s national heritage list and was the host beach for the 2000 Olympic Games. Bondi Icebergs…
sydeney adventures abound.
Barrenjoey Head, Newport, Palm Beach and Manly Beach. Waves crashing against natural rock. Camel coloured sand. Nothing but blue emptiness before me. Does life get anymore picture perfect than this? If I could visualize serenity, well than this is it. Most favourite sight – Manly Beach. “One of a string of golden beaches north of…
“what do you want out of being in aus?”
Today’s adventures consisted of exquisite coffee (new favourite is a flat white) at Molly’s Café along the strip in Maroubra Beach, a fabulous walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge followed by a picnic lunch in Kirribilly in a park along the ocean overlooking the Opera House. Finished with delicious Spanish tapas at El Bulli in…
snapshot of sydney.
A blurry 48 hours but ultimately exciting. Conquered Sydney’s finest: Avondale Golf Course and Moors Park, Kings Cross, YHA Harbour Hotel, The Rocks and Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay, Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens, Hyde Park, Darling Harbour, Sydney Tower, St. Mary’s Cathedral. Sydney is just so picturesque. A real life postcard. Everything is pretty and…
from the bra to surrey hills.
Maroubra Beach. My first encounter with a real life surf strip and its stunning. Its 9am and the lot to the beach is already packed with bronzed beauties and ripped buffs cladded in wetsuits and boards. Waves on the shore look decent, the sun is warm and the music is pumping. The ocean is lined…
static confusion.
