    I’m a mum who chooses creekside play instead of a gigantic playground with all the colorful metal structures. Sure, we visit playgrounds quite often though. And there’s just something different about a playground that smells like bark chips and eucalyptus instead of hot plastic. This is why this article was born. After we moved to…

    One of the best things about living in Sydney is how easy it is for me to find nature without heading too far from home. From coastal paths with ocean views to tracks by the river, there are so many family-friendly walking tracks to choose from. Many are suitable for prams, too. Ah, there was…

    If you really want to experience the Blue Mountains (not just see them from a lookout for 15 minutes on a half day tour), stay overnight. Stay for several nights. Since we moved to Sydney three years ago, the Blue Mountains became our favorite hiking getaway. Even though we spend a good dozen of weekends…

    NSW’s Waterfall Way stole my heart with its name alone. This scenic drive links the Mid North Coast with the New England Tablelands, and it’s a journey through rainforests, deep gorges and some of the most beautiful waterfalls in New South Wales — on days when those waterfalls feel cooperative. I have to admit that…

    Ah, Batemans Bay. Kissed by sunshine and sea breeze, tempting with turquoise waters and curious wildlife. It’s one of our favorite family destinations on the NSW Coast, only four hours’ drive from Sydney or two and a bit from Canberra. Then again, I’ll confess: it’s hard to find a single spot on this coast that…

    Everyone raves about Jervis Bay, its surreal turquoise water, laid‑back charm, and “only‑place‑like‑this” reputation on the New South Wales coast. But it’s not alone. My mind always goes straight to Narooma. Narooma isn’t the loud, show‑off kind of coastal town. It doesn’t need to be. Tucked between Batemans Bay and Bermagui, it’s just far enough…

    Ah, a Kangaroo Valley weekend is one for slowing down, gazing out at misty hills, chasing waterfalls and birdsongs, and filling your face with delicious cheese—you choose. As a romantic getaway from Sydney, Kangaroo Valley requires no defence; it makes its own case the moment you arrive. Just two hours south of Sydney, in the…

    A weekend getaway to Kangaroo Valley was one of the first trips we took after moving to Sydney. Then it became a tradition, and we’ve returned every year since. As the road winds between cliffs and dairy pastures, with mist still curling over the hills, I sometimes imagine I’m driving through the English countryside. Then…

    Moving from Hungary to Australia, I still find it hard to summon any proper Christmas spirit while the air smells of sunscreen and it’s undoubtedly summer. That’s why the preparations matter, and I force myself to dive in every year. One thing I’ve never embraced, no matter the hemisphere, is plastic junk disguised as toys.…
