Journey to Heron Island We agree that the marina is the best thing about Gladstone, located on the Capricornia Coast of Queensland. Most likely that’s because it’s the place of departure to Heron Island. The river appears surprisingly clean, in spite of the amount of mining industry located in Gladstone. Run-of-the mill motel rooms can fetch upwards [...]
Situated on the southern banks of the Brisbane river, close to the Port of Brisbane, Fort Lytton provides a snapshot of Australia’s military history dating back to 1879. Fort Lytton was constructed to protect shipping lanes & ports from enemy attack, serving as the primary post of defence from 1881 to the 1930s. At a [...]
As part of the protected Moreton Bay Marine Park stands the Mangrove Boardwalk at Wynnum. Located approx 10km south east of the Brisbane international & domestic airports (as the crow flies) or 18km by road, this area of pristine waterfront has been preserved as a habitat for many species of sea birds as well as [...]

‘We don’t need any more bloody firewood, thank you,’ grumbled my Dad, verbally egging Ted Upton, the artist Craig and I had just spent the last hour with. Let the truth be known, Dad himself owns one of his works and has it placed centrally in his home on Macleay Island, located off [...]
Australia is a continent of extremes with Queensland generally going through two types of weather per year; dry, clear and cool or wet, muggy and hot. The recent bout of arid conditions, coupled with crystal-clear sunshine days means that the National Parks in Queensland, Australia are in top condition for discovery through camping, hiking and [...]
Considered the classier, more relaxed sister to its intrastate counterpart the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast is located just north of Brisbane, stretching approximately 75km to the west and 90km to the north. Within these perimeters the landscape showcases a series of pristine surf beaches, river inlets and estuaries while the hinterland is home to [...]
