Making educational family travel dreams
We travelled with our 11-year-old Kidsetter to Wilsons Promontory which is 3 hours from the heart of Melbourne. Wilsons Promontory, or the Prom as it is affectionately known, is the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland. The Prom’s rugged beauty is due to it’s distinctive granite rock. From the mountain tops to the beaches, the […]
We travelled to Bendigo with our 11 year old Kidsetter ultimately for one purpose. To visit the famous Bendigo Art Gallery showcasing Elvis Presley’s memorabilia. What a great way to teach our Kidsetter about a music legend. Bendigo Art Gallery attracts significant exhibitions from across the globe and this was no exception. Created in partnership […]
Melbourne used to be known as the most liveable city in the world however Melbourne now has a new title…. After enduring it’s 6th lockdown due to COVID has beaten Buenos Aires as the most lockdown city in the world. Not a title sort after I can tell you. Coming out of lockdown and regaining […]
Venturing out of the big smoke to the country we drove from Melbourne up to Bright. Normally the drive would be 4 hours long, however everyone wanted to head out of Melbourne post COVID lockdowns so traffic added an extra 2 hours. We were able to find some great Kidsetter friendly accommodation at High Country […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
