Beaches & Coasts

Experience beach camping at its best!

Only two more weeks until Christmas! I can’t wait for catch-ups with mates and BEACH CAMPING. The table will be full of family – and Christmas treats, including the cocktails (and mocktails) below. One of our favourite beach towns this year is Port Fairy, Vic. Griffiths Island (pictured) has the BEST beach hike – with wildlife, boardwalks and lighthouse. TIP: We stopped at Southcombe Caravan Park and dined at a new bar and eatery, The Sentinel. I soaked up the first live music we’d come across in months of bush travels! Leave time to browse lovely local stores, too. Have

Easy Secret Santa Gifts

Secret Santa is sorted! Thankfully, our family organised ourselves in time (our crew, Grandma, Auntie Bec and any partners – if here for Chrissy) – and Secret Santa is sorted. Our eldest found a cool Secret Santa Generator which not only tells you WHO you have this year, it stays in the system for when you forget. Haha! Plus, each person can make the job easier for their Secret Santa by adding potential gifts to a wishlist. And what did Heatley just find? A CAMPS guide! The website directs people straight to our shop! Thank you, ‘draw names’! We thought

Merry Christmas!

If there is one thing 2020 has done, it has made us more grateful. We felt so fortunate to experience Outback Queensland this year – a trip we had planned for, cancelled and excitedly re-organised. We loved our little getaway to the Gold Coast Hinterland. Most of our tribe could make it – except our eldest, who has just started full time work after uni. Heatley found us a waterfall all to ourselves, on a scorcher of a day! We racked up about 14 km the first day, and another 8 the next – where the cloud covered up the
