Starting summer the right way- Surfing at Bells Beach.
As the mild spring is sulking away and summer is officially knocking on our door, I’m starting to feel like the proverbial fabulous unicorn ready to run wild in the sun. When artist and surf enthusiast Nicole Tattersall invited me to come spend a day in the sun,...
Snorkelling The Great Barrier Reef, Cairns with Seastar Cruises
If I had a bucket list prepared and well written snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef would most certainly be up there in my top 20 list.
