We were driving down from Queensland and Coffs Harbour was just a stop along the way, but we’d read somewhere there was a lychee farm nearby, so we figured we’d swing by. Worth saying upfront: it’s not really worth a special trip just for the lychees, no matter how good they are — but if […]
Dangar Island
I thought Sydney already had no nearby places to explore, but turns out there is still this treasure little island – Dangar Island. Dangar Island is a very quiet island with no cars. I have always liked finding those places that are very close to the city, but once you get on the island, everything […]
