I’ve been researching holiday routes for our first (yay) family holiday coming up later in the year, and in doing so I’ve realised how much of my own country I haven’t seen. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen a whole lot – but it’s a pretty darn big place, and I really hadn’t thought about how much it has to offer until I sat down recently and made a new resolution. See more of Australia. Explore it. Wonder in it’s amazing ability to be hot and dry in one place, and snowing and cold in another. Tropical to bone dry – I love the variety on offer. I’d love some recommendations! To keep you inspired today, here is this week’s Friday Roundup!
