Throwback to a bleary-eyed pre-dawn start for a flight over the Gold Coast Hinterland with @goballooning. As you can see, it was worth it — a silent glide across the treetops, farms and communities of Mount Tamborine and surrounds, broken only by the intense flame and heat of the burner. Stunning. #goldcoast #goldcoasthinterland #goballooning #queensland #thisisqueensland #southeastqueensland #instatravel #travelstoke #travelwriter #astw_inc #repeattraveller
Lismore has a new wellness destination: ‘Bathe’ at 40 Carrington Street (next door to Dragonfly Cafe). Open five days a week from Wednesday to Sunday, the socially-minded spa houses a heated jet bath, 15 degree cold pool to soothe inflammation, and a custom timber-lined sauna. Its creators Oliver and Jo Fity have paid tribute to the building, exposing the original Bexhill red brick and restoring the roof trusses, while also adding some extra flood resilience measures. Stretch classes and women’s only sessions are in the works. Check it out at bathespa.com.au
Proud to see my article on Lismore’s renewal featured in the latest issue of @austtraveller. The community’s come a long way in the last three years, as it rebuilds from the worst flood on record. Thanks to Ashleigh Ralph from @lismoreregionalgallery and Grant Smith of @twomatesbrewing for sharing their stories. #lismore #nsw #cometotheheart #backlismore #australiantraveller #northernrivers #visitnsw #feelnsw #travelingram #travelstoke #northernriversrailtrail #travelwriter #repeattraveller #astw_inc
It may have taken a year, but I’ve finally got around to staying at @moxysydneyairport: a still new(ish) hotel around five minutes’ drive from the Sydney domestic terminals. It’s fun, modern and full of personality, with small but functional rooms looking to the city or airport, a variety of meeting rooms, plus a restaurant, coffee shop and bar. The gym is excellent. And if you’re heading on an extended trip, they have a special parking offer that’s way cheaper than regular airport parking. Plus, a free shuttle! Would recommend. #moxy #moxysydneyairport #atthemoxy #moxyhotels #sydneyairport #sydneyhotels #marriotthotels #marriottbonvoy #instatravel #travelgram #astw_inc #repeattraveller
When life gives you brick walls, turn them into art. Here’s a lil something I recently spotted down Perth’s Wolf Lane. #perth #perthisok #westernaustralia #mural #murals #streetart #streetartperth #streetarteverywere #instatravel #traveling #travelgram #astw_inc #repeattraveller
An assortment of diving shots from Tufi. Every day brought a new adventure and discovery. #tufi #tufidiveresort #tufiresort #scubadive #diving #instadive #papuanewguinea #visitpapuanewguinea #travelling #traveller #astw_inc #repeattraveller
The view from @tufiresort’s dining area. Love watching the canoes come and go. #tufidiveresort #tufiresort #tufi #oroprovince #papuanewguinea #instatravel #travelgram #sundivebyronbay #sundivetravel #repeattraveller
A magic end to our last full day in Tufi. A fjord cruise, swimming beneath the gentle cascade of a waterfall, and a stunner of a sunset over Mount Trafalgar. #tufi #png #papuanewguinea #visitpapuanewguinea #sundivebyronbay #sundivetravel #travelgram #chasingwaterfalls #repeattraveller
Embracing village life (and stocking up on a few souvenirs) in beautiful Tufi. #tufi #oroprovince #papuanewguinea #visitpapuanewguinea #villagelife #travelmore #travelphotography #travelwriter #travelstoke #repeattraveller @astw_inc
Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads. Dugout canoes are still the primary method of transport in these parts (there are only two vehicles, and both are used to transport divers and guests). It makes ‘peak hour’ way more interesting to be part of. #tufi #tufidiveresort #oroprovince #papuanewguinea #visitpapuanewguinea #instatravel #instatraveller #traveler #travelaroundtheworld #repeattraveller
Ok. I may be a little obsessed with anemone fish… but they’re just so cute. They also stay in roughly the same location, which makes them (a little) easier to photograph. #tufi #tufidiveresort #papuanewguinea #scubadive #scubadiving #visitpapuanewguinea #scubadiverslife #anemonefish #coralreef #reefdiving #repeattraveller #astw_inc
Watching a soccer qualifier match with locals in Tufi. Naturally, we were going for the home team. #tufi #tufiresort #tufidiveresort #papuanewguinea #visitpapuanewguinea #travelstoke #travelgram #travelling #repeattraveller
