Okay so I didn’t love Australia- but some people really do! Here Christine Amorose shares what makes Australia such a special place. It’s no secret that after eight months of living and working in Melbourne, I’ve fallen in love with Australia. I’ll forgive the lack of Wifi, the inclination to shorten every word, the lack [...]

The best thing about Australian cities is that you don’t have to go too far to escape the urban rush and reconnect with nature. I think the Australian people just prioritize this more- being connected with the environment is a cultural necessity. All of the major cities have sweeping public parks, green spaces and waterways [...]

I’ts crazy how your mind can play tricks on you. Empirically when I look back on my time in Australia I KNOW I was unhappy a lot of the time. But somehow when I look at these pictures I can’t help buy smile and think it really wasn’t so bad. I mean who could be [...]

Err, well, apparently in my holiday haste and excitement over leaving Australia I never bothered to write a single article about Sydney- a city where I spent over a week and really, really liked. Good job Stephanie! Anyways, Sydney is awesome, and I will try to eventually craft an article that showcases that, but until [...]

So, we survived! Forty days, one and a half months in camper van cruising down the coast of Australia. It wasn’t always easy- particularly when we hit that solid month of rain in Queensland, but from the Great Barrier Reef to the Blue Mountains and down south of Sydney it was an interesting and varied [...]

Unfortunately it rained the entire time I was in the Whitsundays, so my pictures are all a blurry shade of gray. Daniel Hewes of Daniel Hewes Photography had better luck when he was there in July. (Do you have a photo you’d like to see featured here? Email me at Steph@twenty-somethingtravel.com)

New Discoveries on the Road to Melbourne

When people talk about Oz you will often hear about the big cities, the Great Ocean Road, the Great Barrier Reef etc. Nobody ever mentions the area between Sydney and Melbourne as an interesting place to visit. It’s more of a road you need to travel to get from A to B. But, as it [...]

Before I arrived in Australia I felt slightly anxious- it seemed like such a DANGEROUS place! Crocodiles, sharks, spiders an snakes- did you know that even platypi have poisonous stingers? Basically I’m amazed that anyone in Australia lives to adulthood. However, I fly out on Sunday so it appears I have successfully survived my two months in Australia (knock [...]

The Dos and Don’ts of Keeping it Classy in the Gold Coast

Posted on 21. Dec, 2010 by .

The response you might receive when asking about the Gold Coast would generally involve anything except for being classy.  Surfers Paradise, schoolies and parties galore have turned the area’s reputation into something a bit more sinful, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing (sinful can be fun), but when it turns trashy – that can be [...]
