Making educational family travel dreams
We travelled to Mount Remarkable National Park Alligator Gorge, part of the Southern Flinders Ranges within South Australia with our 9-year-old Kidsetter. As we were staying in Port Pirie the national park was only a 45-minute drive north. Mount Remarkable National Park is defined by rugged mountain ranges, dramatic gorges, steep vegetated valleys, and exposed […]
We travelled to Port Augusta in South Australia with our 9-year-old Kidsetter. A fascinating town, located 310 km north of Adelaide. Port Augusta is known as the Crossroads because the Stuart Highway to the north heads to Alice Springs and Darwin. The Eyre Highway to the west heads to the Nullarbor and the Eyre Peninsula […]
We travelled to Port Pirie with our 9-year-old Kidsetter and dog in tow. Less than three hour’s drive from Adelaide, Port Pirie is the third biggest town north of Adelaide. As we were driving from Melbourne to Perth, Port Pirie was a perfect location to spend a night. The city’s economy is driven by the […]

Upon arrival we found the Riverside Bend playground. This new all-abilities park has transformed a former industrial precinct into a […]
We are big advocates of educating Kidsetters through travel. Now that COVID-19 restrictions had eased, we were able to bring some post-European Australian history to life for our 9-year-old Kidsetter and drove to Glenrowan. Glenrowan is a 2.5 hour drive from Melbourne. The tiny village of Glenrowan was the scene of the Kelly Gang’s last […]
Venturing out of the big smoke to the country we drove from Melbourne up to Beechworth which took 3 hours. Admittedly, we were supposed to visit Bright however accommodation was fully booked especially when travelling with a puppy. Boy, am I glad we diverted to Beechworth. Even with COVID-19 social distancing restrictions in place and […]
After 8 weeks of isolation due to COVID-19, and home schooling we were finally able to venture out as long as we had downloaded the COVIDSafe app and abide by all of the social distancing restrictions. We drove from Melbourne up to Daylesford which took an 1.5 hour. Along the way, we played car games […]
Staying in Hobart we could not miss the opportunity to explore the infamous Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) with our 8-year-old Kidsetter. Before entering the building, Mona had already captured our Kidsetter’s imagination having a tennis court in front and giant trampoline structure for kids to jump on. There is also a fabulous […]
