Hughenden

Winton to Hughenden Our next planned stop was Hughenden. Once again we found we could not make a booking at the one and only caravan park but having now stopped at Showgrounds in both Barcaldine and Winton we felt this could be possible again. So off we headed, north east along State route 62. Not …

Yeppoon – Day 4

On June 9, 2021 By Born to TravelIn Australia, Photography, Roadtrip, Travel, Walking2 Comments

For our fourth day based in Yeppoon we decided to stay closer to 'home'. In the morning we took a ten minute drive up to nearby Lammermoor so we could do some walking in their Native gardens. On their information board they showed seven possible walking zones on multiple trails. We parked at the Lioness …

After another leisurely start to the day of breakfast followed by cut lunch preparation we drove north about 10:00 from Yeppoon to Byfield State Forest for the day. Initially we headed to the Upper Stoney day use area. As we left our parked car we couldn't help but notice the amazing reflection in the Stoney …

Yeppoon – Day 1

On June 1, 2021June 1, 2021 By Born to TravelIn Australia, Photography, Roadtrip, Travel, Walking2 Comments

Nothing like a sleep-in to make you realise you're on holidays. After driving 2100kms in the previous six days it was wonderful to not have to wake up early and hit the road. So after a late breakfast and a casual read of the news online we headed off for a walk at Mulambin Beach, …

Due to our tyre blow out, the next morning we hitched up the caravan and headed out of Karijini National Park, to the nearest town of any size, Tom Price, a Rio Tinto mining town. After booking in at the caravan park and eating lunch we drove to the industrial area in the early afternoon …

Day Trip to Naoshima – Japan’s Art Island

Day Trip to Naoshima – Japan’s Art Island

We had heard a lot about Naoshima, Japan’s art island, off the south coast from Okayama. We also knew to book tickets in advance at the Benesse Art Site, (benesse-artsite.jp) for any of the main art museums, which we did when we first arrived in Japan. So, after breakfast we boarded a train heading south […]

Okayama’s Korakuen Gardens and more

Okayama’s Korakuen Gardens and more

Crossing the Asahi River and leaving behind Okayama Castle we followed a gravel path to the entrance to Korakuen Garden, one of the reputed Three Great Gardens of Japan and designated a Special Place of Scenic Beauty since 1952. (You can read about our visit to Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa, another of the big three, […]

Okayama

Okayama

Woke about 3:30. A hard bed is no fun! Clearly the Japanese handle firmer beds than we are used to in Australia. Went back to sleep after a while. Finally awake and up about 8. Buffet breakfast, Japanese style in the hotel cafe. We decided to walk all the way along Nishigawa Ryokudokoen Street to […]

Born To Travel Is On The Move

Hello, If you are a new reader I hope you have enjoyed reading about the beginnings of our travels in Taiwan most recently. Or perhaps you have read older posts previously as Karen and I have trained, bussed, driven and walked around Japan, Dubai, Spain, the Galápagos Islands, Colombia, Chilean Patagonia and, of course, Australia […]

Taipei

Taipei

As we drove to Melbourne Airport in my brother’s car we noticed peak hour was just about over. So we arrived in good time to check in just after 7:30pm for our 10:35pm flight direct to Taipei. The flight was about two thirds full and took off a few minutes behind schedule. As late dinner […]

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

We took an early breakfast and then walked into town to the travel agent’s office. From there we joined a busload of fellow travellers and were bussed out to Puerto Bories. Here we boarded our boat for the day. It wasn’t the most modern but had plenty of tables with seats. We sat down with […]
