Before we set off for Australia, as per usual I struggled with what to pack and then when the deed was done, I struggled with being way over on the scales. I therefore wanted to list out the essentials for you to pack (this is in addition to the items listed in the post below), which …
Tip 1 First thing’s first, January to March on the East Coast of Australia is their WET season, therefore the best ‘summer’ months to do the East Coast are October – December. Lee and I had no idea about this and only discovered it when we struggled to leave the hostel in Surfer’s Paradise (aka, …
