Making educational family travel dreams
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 […]
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, […]
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. […]
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 […]
