BKK Tours – Bangkok A Review

Prior to embarking on our family trip to Bangkok I searched the web for day tours and stumbled across BKK tours. Reading the itinerary for the Hellfire Pass and River Kwai day trip I was hooked, particularly given the family connection to Hellfire Pass. Booking with BKK was simple and efficient with regular email contact […]
The London Bridge Experience and Tombs – A Review

When visiting London we tend to concentrate on visiting the historic attractions but on our latest trip we decided to venture away from the norm and do something different. The London Bridge Experience and Tombs is certainly that. Located under London Bridge, the London Bridge Experience and Tombs can best be described as understated with […]
The Taj Mahal, Agra, India – A Review

What is the greatest sign of love and devotion of a husband to his wife? The answer is unquestionably the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Built in the 17thcentury by a grieving Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his “favourite” wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is considered to be the finest example of […]
Designing 007 Exhibition Melbourne – A Review

Being an avid fan of all things James Bond, it was only natural that I would take Mr 10 along to The Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style exhibition (Designing 007 Exhibition Melbourne) currently showing at the Melbourne Museum (open to the public from 01-Nov-2013 until 23-Feb-2014). The exhibition is a showcase of all […]
Ride the Ducks of Seattle – A Review

Ride the Ducks of Seattle – Any visit to Seattle, Washington, USA and you will be guaranteed to see what has become an institution in the city.

The most terrifying yet awesome thing I have ever done in my life” were my first words when I was finally winched back onto the launching platform of The Ledge Bungy in Queenstown after my first jump. Around an hour later the adrenaline was still pumping as I relived the exact moment I leapt off […]
Orange World Mildura – A Review

Sometimes, that seemingly kitsch tourist site is worth the stop and Orange World in Mildura is the perfect example of this. Located on the Silver City Highway some 8 minutes drive north of Mildura in the township of Buronga, Orange World now caters primarily for the tourist trade. Entering into the shop and tour booking […]
Eureka Centre – Ballarat – Review

The Eureka Centre is located on the corner of Eureka & Rodier Streets in Ballarat adjacent to the site of one of the most significant events in the evolution of Australian democracy – the Eureka Rebellion. The centre is exceptionally well arranged to re-tell the story of the Eureka Rebellion providing a comprehensive background on the […]
Sovereign Hill – Ballarat

Sovereign Hill has for 40 years successfully recreated an 1850s Goldfields Township and been cherished by many a school child on the almost obligatory school excursion. Recently I returned to Sovereign Hill after many a year. As has always been its focus the park uses the recreation of goldfields life to entertain yet also educate those […]
Eltham Miniature Railway – A Review

Big things come in small packages and this is certainly true of the Eltham Miniature Railway. Having three children all under the age of 9 and trying to keep them entertained over weekend is never easy. A trip to the leafy suburb of Eltham on a Sunday afternoon allowed them the opportunity to experience the joy […]
