Australia is one of the most unique countries in the world. It has everything from deserts to beaches, tiny rural towns to international metropolises and everything in between. Its native fauna and extreme weather add to the character of the country. Many people have an imagined stereotypical Australia in their minds and they are often shocked when they discover that the reality is far more interesting. There are plenty of museums, restaurants and cities to visit. There are also some experiences you can’t get anywhere else. Whether you’re a local looking to try something new and different or a visitor trying to fit as many uniquely Australian experiences as you can into your trip, we’ve got some great ideas for you. Visit iconic filming locations While the Australian New Wave movement of the 1970s may never be as famous as its French predecessor, it deserves far more popular and critical attention than it gets. It had an important impact, both on cinema and on how the world viewed Australia. Visiting the locations where some of these classic movies were filmed is a truly unique experience. Two of the most original and moving films of the genre were filmed in small towns in New South Wales. Ted Kotcheff’s Wake in Fright (1971) was filmed in Broken Hill and Peter Weir’s The Cars that Ate Paris (1974) was filmed in Sofala, in the Turon River Valley.

Are you travelling abroad anytime soon? We hope you have a wonderful time if so. Travel is good for both the body and mind, and you are bound to feel the benefits. However, there are some things that many people forget to do before they leave for their travels, especially when it’s their first trip abroad, and consequently, they then sabotage their dreams for rest and relaxation while away. Don’t let this be you! Consider what we say below, and be sure to add them to your pre-travels checklist, so you don’t find yourself in a stressful situation while you’re away. #1: They forget to check their travel insurance policies You shouldn’t forget to take out travel insurance; it can be a lifesaver should you get injured while you’re away, and it can offer you some solace should your bags get stolen. However, you need to make sure you have the right cover for your needs. Not every insurer will include cover for anybody injured in an accident after renting a car or motorcycle, for example, and it might not cover high-risk activities such as skiing or scuba diving. You might need to get specialist cover, such as motorcycle travel insurance, and you might also need to find an insurance provider that will give you customised cover to accommodate your specific requirements. Check your insurance policies before you leave then, and if necessary, switch to a different insurer if your current provider won’t give you what you need.  #2: They forget to call their bank… Read More
