First things first, Brisbane is NOT on the coast! Many people arrive and are disappointed to find out that the buzzing little city of Bris-Vegas is not on the coast. It is about an hour in land built on a river.
That said it is still a beautiful and fun place to visit. So close to the infamous Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay, many people fly into Brisbane, and then catch transport from there.
So how do you get around Brisbane and Queensland you ask? The following links provide schedules, routes, and fee information. Click Here to get a map of Brisbane.

Melbourne is at it again! Trying to flash up their image as the shopping Mecca of Australia, now you don’t even have to leave the airport. A development plan has been put underway to basically add a mall onto the Melbourne International Airport.
Aimed at helping out the 12,000+ people who work at the airport, it is set to include a grocery store, bottle shop, bulky goods center (read washing machines and refrigerators), a gym, and even a child care center! Talk about one stop shopping. Now all …

July 1st, the first case of Polio flew into Australia in more than 20 years. A word of caution for all travellers- always make sure you immunizations are up to date! If you were on Thai Airways flight TG999 from Bangkok on July 1, you should get in contact with Victorian Authorities.
Almost 250 people were on the flight from Bangkok to Melbourne early this month with a 22-year-old student from Pakistan who was later diagnosed with the first case of polio in Australia in 20 years, officials said.
About 100 of the mostly-Australian passengers had been contacted and efforts were …

Do you know what a Balmain Bug is? Chances are you’ve read about it in your guide book on the plane ride over. No trip to Sydney is complete without trying some of the fantastic seafood on offer. If you are like me- I am completely overwhelmed when it comes to ordering seafood, knowing if it is prepared properly, and not to mention- knowing how to prepare it is a complete mystery to me. So while visiting Down Under, why not learn a new skill! If …

The Rocks Precinct is one of the coolest areas in Sydney. Frequented by tourists as well as locals, it is the home to pubs, entertainment venues, historic sights, markets, and one amazing pancake house. This weekend it plays host to the much anticipated Aroma Festival. Coffee, Chocolate, and Spices. Yum! If you are visiting Sydney this weekend, or you live here- come on down to The Rocks Sunday, July 22.
My commentary after attending the event: It was so much more than I had imagined! Mark …

Adelaide is one of the unsung heros of Australia. In the central part of the country, it is often times not on the main tourist routes. If you have a bit of time and really like a city that has amazing markets, fantastic places to eat, unbelievable wineries, and phenominal natural attractions such as the Flinders close by, then Adelaide is a Must Do! (it is also one of the closer cities to Broken Hill) The following links can give you a better idea of what is on offer.
I do have to encourage you …

A few months back I had a thoroughly enjoyable visit to South Australia. One of the places I stayed while on that trip was the lovely beachy little suburb of Glenelg. This is definately the “get away” location that isn’t really “away”. You can feel miles…or kiolmeters… away from home while still only being an old fashioned tram ride away from the city center. If you are in Adelaide and can tear yourself away from the restaurants, markets, shopping, wineries, etc and are after a …
