COVID-19 has hit with a vengeance and things are changing by the hour. Both Rob and I work in the tourism industry so this pandemic has had a dramatic effect on our family life and our future earnings, as no doubt it has had on everyone

Any opportunity to get the kids playing outdoors and away from their screens is a plus for us so when Vuly Play offered us the opportunity to review their Slam Pro Basketball Hoop we were in.

Camping with kids can be one of the most rewarding things you can do as a parent. Watching their little faces light up when confronted with the wondrous bounty of Mother Nature truly is a sight to behold.

When you arrive at Australia’s most iconic holiday destination, you’ll quickly realise that you’re spoilt when it comes to finding something that suits.

This outdoorsy mum is someone I stumbled across on Facebook thanks to our shared enthusiasm for adventures around Far North Queensland.

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and to remind you all that this is the time of year that should be all about ‘slowing down’ and ‘smelling the roses’

I’m a country girl at heart and thanks to our location, way up in the north of Australia, so are my kids. They have yet to experience the delights of a big ‘southern’ city

WoW!!! Where did that year go?? Does anyone else feel the same way? I’m looking forward to spending another ‘Merry’ Christmas with close family and friends, sunshine

Do you share a passion for David Attenborough documentaries like me? And do you find yourself pining for the opportunity to immerse yourself in Mother Nature’s wild show afterwards? Then it’s about time you tried spending some time on an island.

Cooktown is literally the Gateway to Cape York and Australia’s northern most wilderness. It’s a town with a whole lot of history and a whole lot of character.

Marni is your quintessential Cairns chick that has grown up in the Tropical North, embraces the great outdoors and has managed to score herself a job with one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cairns, Skyrail Rainforest Cableway.

I love that Cairns is full of families that put lifestyle as their number one objective. This particular mumma loves getting out and about and runs weekly meet-ups with other locals

Our trip to the Gold Coast was a short-lived, wonderful blast of FUN, FUN, FUN at an iconic Australian Holiday Playground. Crowds, traffic and spending lots of money has never been high on my priority as a family ‘escape’

How are you New Year Resolutions going so far?? I’m hoping this next ‘Outdoor Mumma’ might inspire you to keep going OR at least get you started.

I stumbled across Sunny on a tropical beach one winters day - SUP boarding with her dog!!! Yes you heard me right. So a friendship was borne

It’s funny who you meet via Social Media. My next outdoorsy mum is someone I stumbled across thanks to our shared enthusiasm for Instagram and Twitter. It’s time to meet Jess Fealy…

I think it’s time to meet a REAL Adventure Mumma. It’s time to meet Tracey Moriarty and discover all about her sea-faring adventures, her tribe of 5 children and her partner of 25+ years

I’m starting this Question and Answer Blog series off with me (after all it is my Blog 😉 ). I want to highlight families that are active and outdoorsy and opt to invest their time and $$$ into giving their children a wealth of experiences

It’s Show season in Tropical North Queensland. Every July Cairns hosts Queensland’s biggest Agricultural Show outside of Brisbane’s EKKA. Cairns Show has 3 days of exhibitions
