Sydney to Brisbane Road Trip, East Coast of Australia
We did a 1-way road trip from Sydney to Brisbane over 7 days with stops at Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Port Macquarie and Byron bay along the way. I’ve summarised the distance and times below as well as a separate short blog for each location to give you an idea of all. Additionally, I’ve added…
Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia
Byron bay is the world famous surf town on the east coast of of New South Wales, Australia. Its actually a pretty small beach town. We stayed there for 2 days at the end of our road trip, for a little relax and chill out time. We stayed in a studio apartment/hotel room in Aloha…
Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia
We stopped in Port Macquarie as part of a road trip up the coast, as a bit of a stopgap. The main reason was stopped there was to sleep, and we heard there was a koala hospital there where they take care of injured koalas and rehabilitate them when they can. I We arrived in…
Hunter Valley Wine Region, Australia
Hunter Valley is a famous wine region about 3 hours drive north of Syndey. There are the main areas/towns that people visit in the wine region (Broke, Pokolbin and Wollombi). We stayed in Broke. Driving up from Sydney you can take the main Pacific Highway and toll roads, or Putty Road with non-toll roads. There…
Blue Mountains, Sydney
A new approach to blogging. short and to the point. here is where I went and what I thought. Simples. The Blue Mountains are easily accessible from Sydney as day trip but we did stay over, as part of a road trip. There are many many hikes and views to see but the most famous…

Luang Prabang, Laos
I was a little worse for wear landing in Luang Prabang after a few days in Phuket for a friends wedding. So I maybe wasn’t as prepared as I should have been for the arrival but anyway most countries can get visa on arrival: Visa price varies but it was 35 USD for Ireland, plus…
Salalah, Oman
Arriving in the airport I was pleasantly surprised how small and new it was. Its a good combination usually! At the time of landing it appeared that we were the only flight landing which meant going through customs should be straight forward enough. As I walked towards customs clearance I seen that there was a…
24 hours in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovenia
What a little gem. Arriving anywhere to a beautiful sunny day always helps and Sarajevo was no different. The Airport was pretty small and easy to get in and out of but the best part was the scenery, green mountains surrounded the airport with terra-cotta coloured roofs dotting the landscape. My research had shown that…
Taipei, Taiwan
As the plane was coming in to land at Hualien airport it was clear that what I had heard about Hualien and the countryside was true. The part of Taiwan was worth a trip on its own, although unfortunately, it wouldn’t be on this trip. There were no other planes at the airport when I…
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
I got the overnight bus from Siem Reap using the Giant Ibis bus company (the most reliable I could find from research). The only problem with it being quicker (1 and a half hours less than expected) is that I arrived at 5am and didn’t really have anywhere to go. So I went for a walk along the promenade…
