A family holiday to Canberra

by Sarah Pye

It’s one of those places people either rave about, or shrug their shoulders. Canberra, our nation’s capital is abuzz with politics, memorials and museums. As an imported Aussie, I had always wanted to see what all the fuss was about and last spring the opportunity arose to join Amber’s Scout group on a driving tour to the capital. It didn’t disappoint and this is one family safari I can certainly recommend.

Fun with Nana and Poppy – and Mum and Dad

Dec 2010

by Wendy Buckley, Travel With Kidz. www.travelwithkidz.com.au

Families are now living and working all over the world, more so than ever before. Just as you might have packed up the kids and caught a train to Sydney twenty years ago, now you can jump on a plane to visit Mum and Dad on the other side of the world. (Although the latter is far more exciting, and will probably include personal TVs on the back of your seat with hundreds of movies and songs to keep them amused.)

by Wendy Buckley, Travel With Kidz, www.travelwithkidz.com.au

Can you image celebrating Christmas with your family at Santa’s hometown of Rovaniemi in Finland? Wake to snow on the ground, have the real Santa give your children a present, decorate a Christmas tree with Santa’s helpers and enjoy a husky-sleigh-ride over the snow.

A family trip of a lifetime

Aug 2010

by Wendy Buckley, Travel With Kidz

Australians love to travel both locally and overseas so when your family decides to take a well earned holiday, knowledge is the key to success. Having travelled with our two children Tim and Jessica, and more recently our granddaughter Emily, I appreciate how different the needs are when travelling with children especially to some of the more remote and adventurous areas of the world like Africa.

LEARNING NEW SKILLS TOGETHER, ONE STEP AT A TIME

by Sarah Pye

She stands in water up to her waist, face a mask of concentration, gazing into the not-too-distant future. There’s a mixture of fear and adrenalin glinting in her eyes. On her head, a yellow helmet betrays the potential danger ahead and her arm is wrapped around a huge black inner tube. In seconds she will launch into its donut-hole like interior and paddle frantically backwards to position herself down the chute.

We are at Nymboida Canoe Centre at the pointy end of a learning experience which has taken several months and a couple of holidays. Amber saw a picture of me white water rafting one day. “I would love to do that!” she said. So, we set a timeless goal to do it together some day.

Vanuatu – A World Away On Our Doorstep
by Sarah Pye

Imagine stepping into the arrival lounge after only three hours on a plane to be greeted by a haphazardly organised band of colourful musicians with wide, white grins and cloths wrapped around their waists.  Read more

A rainy Sydney escape

Adventure abounds in NSW

by Sarah Pye

As I squashed against other sweaty bodies under the Sydney Harbour Bridge the atmosphere was electric. We had all journeyed like moths to a flame to bring in the new decade in style. Read more

Holidays Afloat!

Jan 2010
Travel the world without unpacking!

by Sarah Pye

You are lulled to sleep by the gentle slap of water on the hull. The occasional stretching anchor line propels marauding pirates into your dreams. You wake when a single sunbeam flickers below your eyelids then dances away as your floating home swings five degrees.  Read more

Travel with kids made easy

Remember before you had kids? Remember thinking “it won’t slow me down, I will just take my baby with me… after all, the women of India pick tea all day with a baby on their back!” It all seemed so easy…
