The must watch Christmas movie list!!

December 3, 2019December 3, 2019 ~ Lisa ~ 5 Comments

It is the second day in December, which means only one thing... Christmas is coming. The temperature has dropped (even in Melbourne where it is now officially summer), the grass is crunchy, the days are shorter, the infamous sound of Maria Carey is blasting through every shop speaker and the car windows need some serious morning scraping (only if your in Europe and have a car of course).

You get penguins in Melbourne?

Australia has been nothing short of amazing when it comes to observing wildlife, kangaroos, whales and dolphins but one thing I didn't expect to see were penguins.

They're effectively asking for money to sleep in a prison, the person living there should be getting paid to stay there!!!

I was the first driver, and I stalled straight away. The good thing about Australia is that they drive on the same side of the road as the UK. There is one thing that is different, and that is that the indicator is on the right side, as in the wrong side, which is left in the UK.

The most easterly point of Australia and all the Hippys

Byron bay was definitely one of my favourite places we visited on this trip, (so much so I forgot to take a lot of pictures!!!) it was a super hippy, surfer town. Lots of wacky colours (do the Aussies spell colours with a u?) vintage shops, and crazy dudes but it was so nice. It is also home to Chris Hemsworth’s family mansion (we considered searching for it but it seemed to be amongst the rainforest and quite secluded - very, very sad times).

Eat street markets – Brisbane

We went to Brisbane’s Eat street market, which was the most amazing food market I think I have ever been too. On the outside it looked like large pieces of Lego, built up of brightly painted shipping containers, inside it was a lot more open and the containers made up the walls with an open roof. (My first thought was what do they do if it rains? But it’s Australia and it apparently doesn’t rain an awful lot).
