If you think getting up early for sunrise at the summit is overrated I’ll tell you now, you’re wrong about this hike! So many great spots in Shoal Bay, and Tomaree Head Summit Walk is definitely one not to be missed!

Swimming with sea turtles in Sri Lanka was a trip highlight. We were fortunate enough to do it twice, both times completely naturally. But please do it responsibly. Please don’t feed them and definitely don’t be touching them or picking them up!

Yes, Sydney is great, BUT Australia is so much more than its ‘big’ cities.
I feel I could do a 36 part series just sharing all our favourite places!
I’d love to hear your favourite place. Not the cult favs like Ningaloo but the lesser known, off the beaten track ones.
If you’re travelling Australia, are planning to, or looking for family travel inspo, be sure to give @thefamilyfind a follow!

Straight into Cool Runnings quotes! You can’t quite see it in the video but the boys had ‘steam’ coming out as they were breathing and they were so stoked about it!

While NSW is hibernating this winter we have been loving getting out and exploring some epic national parks and having them to ourselves!
This epic waterfall is only an hour from Sydney and can be found in the Royal National Park.
The track is no longer maintained so info is hard to come by. Comment ‘epic’ and I’ll send over everything you need to know to get there!
