Making educational family travel dreams
We travelled with our 7-year-old Kidsetter to Ballarat countryside in Victoria to visit the infamous ‘Kryal Castle’. Prior to our arrival our Kidsetter had been reading a fun book called ‘Bumblefest’ about Knight’s jousting tournaments, this aided his excitement of visiting a castle where Knights would be performing actual jousting tournaments. We meet some friends […]
We travelled to Cairns with our 7-year-old Kidsetter. What a treat. We unexpectedly discovered the Cairns annual festival was being held at the same time. This made for some lively entertainment during our stay. The Cairns Festival began in 1962. It has developed into vibrant and progressive festival, providing an annual forum that showcases the best […]
Our 7-year-old Kidsetter had been eagerly anticipating Conflict Island, Papua New Guinea. He was looking forward to visiting the islands turtle sanctuary where we were able to hand feed the baby turtles. Run by marine biologists, it was educational and fun, learning all the reasons why turtles are endangered today. One of the biggest reasons […]
Kiriwina Island is a beautiful island located in Papua New Guinea. Beautiful beaches, white sand and light blue waters. The people are friendly and primitive. I was thrilled our Kidsetter was experiencing a community such as this. We travel a lot and I have to say the last time I experienced this degree of primitiveness […]
We visited the small Ahioma village of Dodobana in Mile Bay with our 7 Kidsetter in tow. Just 7km (approximately 15 minutes drive) from the main town of Alotau, passing numerous traditional village hamlets, we stepped into another world and were welcomed into the home of a typical Milne Bay family and experienced the true […]
Perth is a wonderful place for Kidsetter’s. We have travelled to Perth many times with our Kidsetter in tow at all different ages. Recently we traveled for a 7-day period in Winter. We wandered around the Perth CBD admiring the old and new buildings. Visited an incredible art exhibition from Florence; Corsini Italian Masterpieces. Our […]
Admittedly we are ‘Melbournian’s’ – we LOVE our city and can never keep up with buzz of activity that’s on offer right here on our own doorstep. There is the standard type of family activities that Kidsetters never seem to tire of; Melbourne Zoo, Sea Life Aquarium, Polly Woodside, National Galley Victoria or the Australian […]
I have to admit that I was anti cruises. I’m not great at resort stay-in-one-place style travelling so the thought of being stuck on a boat at sea – how boring ! If I was going to be bored, imagine entertaining a child on board a ship. No thanks. Not to mention, is it even […]
We travelled with our 6-year-old son to the Waikato countryside in New Zealand to visit the infamous ‘Hobbiton Movie Set’. Prior to our arrival I had been reading part of JRR Tolkien novel ‘The Hobbit’ to our son so he could have more of an understanding of what it was about and be taken on […]
We travelled on Royal Caribbean’s ‘Ovation of the Seas’ cruise ship with our 6-year-old Kidsetter on route to New Zealand over New Year’s Eve. After boarding the ship, locating our cabin, attending the safety induction, it was time to kick back and relax ! We checked our Kidsetter into the Explorers Kids Club each day […]
