My sister and I had talked many times about going on a trip far away from Belgium, where we live, and after some late night conversations we decided to plan a trip to Australia to visit the most beautiful city of the world, Sydney!

The flight from Belgium to Australia seemed endless and we were so tired upon arrival that we rushed to our hotel, took a shower and went straight to...

From Byron Bay we drove to Brisbane and we were just in time for the wednesday market on Brisbane Square. The whole square was filled with fresh produce stands and nice eateries where you're able to taste the dips and cheeses before deciding to buy them. We had some freshly squeezed orange jus and bought some french bread and croissants to fuel up for the day.

Cape Byron is Australia's most easternly point and a great place to look out over this seaside town. From town you can drive up to the Cape Byron Lighthouse but the best thing to do is to park your car at the parking space down hill.

Once on Cape Byron the views are amazing and you will be able to see the entire coast line of Byron...

Darling Harbour is a waterfront harbour esplanade and park built around Cockle Bay. There are a lot of interesting things to do and see in the Darling Harbour area and the best way...

I have been considering my first trip to Australia and I figured out that Australia’s Northern Territory and Kings Canyon would be the perfect spot : right in the middle of the desert – perfect to test 4WD tours –, location of the so famous Uluru (or Ayers Rock) – major in the Aboriginal culture –, and definitely a place to forget how rainy and grey Western Europe can be, especially London....
