Port Arthur

We travelled to Port Arthur with our Kidsetter in tow.  I must admit I had my reservations taking an 8-year-old Kidsetter here as I wondered just how gruesome the tales would be of it’s tumultuous past. I discovered it’s all in the guide – we explored the ruins with our very knowledgeable guide named Helen […]

Port Hobart

We travelled to Hobart with our 8-year-old Kidsetter in tow.  Hobart, capital of Australia’s island state of Tasmania, sits on the River Derwent.  Staying on the harbour was a perfect location to be at the heart of the city’s identity.  Although Tasmania has a breadth of industries supporting the local economy, shipping remains significant to […]

Historic Hahndorf

We enjoyed a day out at Hahndorf Adelaide Hills with our 7-year-old Kidsetter, located 25 minutes from Adelaide. Strolling along Hahndorf’s historic main street is like stepping back in time.  Settled in 1839, Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement and still has a strong German flavour most evident in the smallgoods outlets, bakeries, pubs, […]

Margaret River

We travelled with our 7 year old Kidsetter to the one and only Margaret River in Western Australia. First stop the Margaret River Chocolate Company.  A delightful display of wall to wall chocolate with every flavour and combination possible.  Overwhelmed by choice, we taste tested various ones which helped us decide on our final selection.  […]

Medieval Mystique

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 […]

Colourful Cairns

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 […]

Perth Perfect

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 […]

Melbourne Style

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 […]

Broome Camel Ride

We travelled to Broome with our 4-year-old Kidsetter.  Broome is a unique town, on a peninsula, where one of the world’s last great wildernesses meets the Indian Ocean.  Pristine waters, wide empty beaches, abundant wildlife, tropical climate and breathtaking colours.  Broome’s exotic pearling town past has left a rich history and a unique multi-cultural mix […]

Pacific Eden

We travelled on P&O’s ‘Pacific Eden’ cruise ship with our 4-year-old Kidsetter on route to the Broome, Western Australia. After boarding the ship, locating our cabin, attending the safety induction, it was time to kick back and relax ! We joined the party on Deck 11 – ‘Sailaway Sounds with The Jasmine & John Duo’.  […]
