Getting Off the Great Ocean Road

30

Sep

Behind Victoria’s world famous Great Ocean Road is another country.

A slight ripple on the water gives it away, though it could be a duck, a grebe perhaps? The small hairy back moves purposefully forward, dives and disappears. Not a duck or a grebe. It’s a platypus.

Thailand Can Be a Beach

16

Sep

The sun is so bright my eyes hurt. I edge myself back into the shady veranda, not wanting to burn bright red on my first day at this small resort situated right on Koh Samui’s Bo Phut beach.

From my private view, sprawled out on a day bed overlooking the pool bordering the beach, I pick out baking sun-seekers from Mittel Europe resting on chaises-longue a step from the water. They snared the best poolside lounges before breakfast, marking their territories with bags and beach towels.

Myanmar Meandering in Yangon

02

Sep

In 2010 when Myanmar’s repressive military government freed Aung San Suu Kyi from years of unjustified incarceration, the world took notice.

Suddenly, closed doors opened.

Strict visa laws applied to foreign tourists were relaxed.

Interested bystanders bent on visiting Myanmar soon as possible welcomed the change with open arms and wallets.

Almost overnight, Myanmar became the go-to country for all serious travellers.

You simply have to go there before everyone else does.

Australia’s Best Gourmet Region

20

Jun

The Northeast of Victoria is Australia’s most interestingly varied gourmet region.

Call me prejudiced but I remain convinced.

The Road to America

26

May

There is no other country more suited to a road trip than America.

I put my foot down hard on the accelerator of opinion driving here I know.

Counter claims? Park them by the wayside while I elaborate.

Two lanes linking small towns all across America is the way to go.

Avoid the interstate system at all cost.
