Enjoy stunning views, exciting wildlife experiences, and plenty of fun activities for everyone. This trip will be a memorable time for all ages. Get set to make great memories as you discover the best of Tasmania during your road trip.
Getting Ready for Your Tasmanian Adventure
Planning a trip to Tasmania with kids takes some preparation. First, book your flights to either Hobart or Launceston. These are the two main cities you can enter this beautiful island state from. Make sure to book your place to stay ahead of time. This is especially important during busy seasons. Choosing family-friendly hotels or self-catering apartments can make your trip more fun.
I highly recommend renting a car. This is the best way to enjoy a Tasmanian road trip. It allows you to explore at your speed and visit unique places. If you’re unsure where to start, a 7-day Tasmanian itinerary can be a great guide to help you make the most of your time. Also, get to know Tasmania’s road rules. They might be a bit different from other parts of Australia.
What to Pack: Essentials for a Family Trip
Packing for Tasmania can be a challenge due to its many landscapes and changing weather. You need to think about layers since temperatures can change a lot between the coast and the mountains. When considering the best time to visit, bring light and breathable clothes for hot days, but also pack a waterproof jacket and warm clothes for cool nights and possible rain.
If you want to enjoy Tasmania’s natural beauty, including the temperate rainforests and native wildlife, comfortable walking shoes are a must for the whole family. A reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated on your adventures. Make sure to include sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat for sun protection.
Lastly, don’t forget to bring a camera or check that your phone has enough storage for pictures. Encourage the kids to keep a travel journal or sketchbook. This way, they can write about or draw the local flora and fauna they see.
Choosing Your Mode of Transportation in Tasmania
Tasmania has different ways to get around, but renting a car is the best option for this road trip itinerary, especially considering the fares can vary depending on the time of year. It gives you the freedom to explore all the attractions, like Cradle Mountain, which many visitors love. You can also fly into Launceston Airport, which makes it easy to see the north of the island.
You might want to think about a campervan for something different. It serves as both transport and a place to sleep. Public buses connect the main cities and towns, but they may limit your travel plans and need some careful thinking.
In the end, the best choice is based on what your family likes and your budget.

February 16, 2024LifestyleIntroduction
In today’s unpredictable world, the ability to protect oneself is of paramount importance. While various self-defense systems exist, one that stands out for its practicality and effectiveness is Krav Maga. Developed by the Israeli military, Krav Maga is a self-defense system rooted in real-life scenarios. In this blog post, we will delve into the fundamentals of Krav Maga training and explore techniques that can enable individuals to confidently navigate real-life situations with practical self-defense skills.
Understanding the Basics of Krav Maga
Krav Maga, which translates to “contact combat” in Hebrew, is a modern martial art and self-defense system that emphasizes simplicity and efficiency. Unlike traditional martial arts that focus on form and rituals, Krav Maga is designed for real-life situations where there are no rules or protocols. Its techniques are rooted in instinctive movements that anyone can learn, regardless of their size or strength.
Krav Maga training begins with mastering core principles such as continuous motion, simultaneous defense, and offense, and targeting vital areas of the attacker’s body for maximum impact. By building a solid foundation in these principles, practitioners gain the ability to react quickly and effectively in high-stress situations.
Assessing and Avoiding Potential Threats
One of the essential aspects of practical self-defense is the ability to assess and avoid potential threats whenever possible. Krav Maga training places a strong emphasis on developing situational awareness skills. Practitioners are taught to be aware of their surroundings, identify potential threats, and assess the danger levels of different situations.
By understanding their environment, individuals can proactively take steps to avoid dangerous situations. This includes knowing when to cross the street, identifying potential escape routes, and trusting their instincts when something doesn’t feel right. In Krav Maga, the best defense is often avoiding the confrontation altogether.
Essential Strikes and Targets in Krav Maga
In Krav Maga, strikes and targeting vital areas are crucial techniques for effective self-defense. Here are some essential strikes and targets in Krav Maga:
Punches: Krav Maga incorporates various punching techniques, including straight punches, hooks, and uppercuts. The aim is to strike vulnerable areas, such as the nose, chin, and jaw, to disorient the attacker.
Elbows: Elbow strikes are powerful and effective in close-quarters combat. Krav Maga practitioners are trained to deliver elbow strikes to the head, face, ribs, or any other accessible area of the attacker’s body.
Knees: Knee strikes are used to target the attacker’s groin, thighs, or midsection. By driving the knee into these areas, practitioners can deliver significant impact and disable the assailant.
Kicks: Krav Maga incorporates a variety of kicks, including front kicks, side kicks, and roundhouse kicks. Kicks can be used to target the attacker’s legs, knees, groin, or head, depending on the situation.
Strikes to Vital Areas: Krav Maga places great emphasis on targeting vital areas for maximum impact. These include the eyes, throat, nose, solar plexus, groin, and knees. Striking these areas can incapacitate the attacker and provide a window of opportunity for escape or neutralization.
Palm Heel Strikes: Palm heel strikes are executed with an open hand, using the heel of the palm to strike the attacker’s chin, nose, or throat. This technique is effective in close-quarters combat and can quickly disable the assailant.
Hammer Fists: Hammer fists involve striking with a closed fist in a downward motion, targeting areas such as the bridge of the nose, temple, or collarbone. This technique allows for powerful strikes and is suitable for close-range encounters.
It is important to note that while these strikes and targets are effective in self-defense situations, Krav Maga also emphasizes using the appropriate level of force necessary to neutralize the threat. The goal is to disable the attacker and create an opportunity to escape rather than inflicting unnecessary harm.
Defending Against Common Attacks
In real-life situations, common attacks such as punches, kicks, and grabs are often encountered. Krav Maga equips practitioners with defense techniques that effectively neutralize these types of attacks. Central to Krav Maga’s philosophy is the principle of simultaneous defense and offense. Practitioners learn to quickly block or evade an attack while simultaneously launching their counterattack.
Through repetitive drills and scenario-based training, practitioners develop muscle memory and reflexes to respond effectively to common attacks. This enables them to stay calm under pressure and take control of the situation, even when faced with unexpected aggression.
Escaping Holds and Grabs
Escaping from holds and grabs is another crucial aspect of Krav Maga training. Whether it’s a chokehold, bear hug, or wrist grab, Krav Maga offers practical techniques to break free from these restraining positions. By utilizing leverage, joint manipulation, and strikes to vital areas, individuals can create opportunities to escape and regain control of the situation.
Practitioners are taught to remain calm and focused during these encounters, using their surroundings and the element of surprise to their advantage. Regular practice of escaping holds and grabs empowers individuals to react swiftly and effectively, ensuring their safety in real-life situations.
Dealing with Multiple Attackers
Real-life situations may involve multiple attackers, making the ability to defend oneself against multiple assailants crucial. Krav Maga provides strategies and techniques specifically tailored to these scenarios. The focus is on minimizing the risk of injury and neutralizing the immediate threats.
Practitioners learn to maintain situational awareness, constantly scanning their surroundings for potential threats. They are taught to redirect the attackers’ focus by creating distance, using obstacles as barriers, and employing strikes and quick takedowns to incapacitate one attacker at a time. The strategies employed in Krav Maga for dealing with multiple attackers are designed to confuse, disable, and escape, ensuring the practitioners’ safety.
Defense Against Weapons
In real-life situations, encounters with weapons add an extra layer of danger. Krav Maga training also covers techniques to defend against various types of weapons, including knives, guns, and sticks. The emphasis is on disarming and neutralizing the attacker while minimizing the risks to oneself.
Practitioners learn to recognize the type of weapon being used, assess the distance and angle of the attack, and react with appropriate defensive maneuvers. By targeting the attacker’s vulnerable areas and employing evasion techniques, practitioners can effectively disarm the attacker and create an opportunity for escape.
Maintaining Physical and Mental Preparedness
Equipping oneself with practical self-defense skills extends beyond training techniques. Physical and mental preparedness plays a vital role in ensuring effective self-defense. Regular physical fitness training improves strength, flexibility, and stamina – all of which are crucial for successfully executing Krav Maga techniques.
Mental preparedness involves developing a focused mindset and honing the ability to handle stress and fear. Krav Maga’s training includes scenarios and drills that push practitioners to step out of their comfort zone, helping them develop mental resilience and the ability to make split-second decisions.

Conclusion
In a world where personal safety cannot be guaranteed, practical self-defense skills are invaluable. Krav Maga training, with its emphasis on real-life scenarios and efficiency, equips individuals with the ability to protect themselves and others in dangerous situations. By understanding the basics of Krav Maga, assessing and avoiding potential threats, mastering essential strikes and defense techniques, and remaining physically and mentally prepared, individuals can gain the confidence and skills necessary to navigate real-life situations with practical self-defense abilities.

The Importance of a Family Caravan
A family caravan opens up a world of possibilities for exciting adventures. It provides a convenient and comfortable home away from home, where you can enjoy quality time with your family.

It allows you to make spontaneous decisions, visit off-the-beaten-path locations, and immerse yourselves in nature. Furthermore, a family caravan promotes bonding and shared experiences among family members, fostering a sense of unity and creating lifelong memories.
Understanding Your Family’s Needs and Preferences

Considerations for Child-Friendly Features
When selecting a family caravan, it’s essential to consider child-friendly features that enhance safety, comfort, and entertainment for your children.

Entertainment systems like DVD players or integrated screens can keep the kids entertained during long journeys. Adequate storage compartments for toys and necessities will help keep the living space organized and clutter-free. Taking these child-friendly features into account will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your family.
Budgeting and Financing Your Family Caravan
Budgeting for a family caravan involves considering both the upfront costs and ongoing expenses. Determine your budget based on factors such as the size of the caravan, brand reputation, and desired features. Research financing options, including loans and leasing, to make a wise financial decision.

September 13, 2023TourismReasons to Take a Wine Tour
When it comes to discovering the rich tapestry of the wine world, few experiences can rival the enchantment of a Melbourne winery tour. These immersive journeys take wine enthusiasts on a captivating odyssey through lush vineyards, ancient cellars, and expertly guided tastings, promising a memorable adventure that tantalizes the senses. But the question that often lingers in the minds of curious travelers and wine aficionados alike is whether wine tours are genuinely worth the time, effort, and cost. Let’s embark on a vicious voyage to explore this tantalizing question and uncork the truth.
The Allure of Melbourne’s Winery Tours
Melbourne, known for its vibrant culture and diverse gastronomy, is also a gateway to some of Australia’s most renowned wineries. Nestled within picturesque landscapes, the wineries around Melbourne offer more than just an opportunity to savor exceptional wines. They provide a glimpse into the art, history, and passion that go into crafting each bottle. So, what exactly makes these tours so enticing?
1. An Oenophile’s Paradise
For the wine enthusiast, a Melbourne winery tour is akin to a pilgrimage. It’s a chance to indulge in the divine artistry of winemaking. The moment you step foot on the rolling vineyard estates, the air is infused with the aroma of sun-kissed grapes and fertile earth. Here, you can immerse yourself in the world of viticulture, witnessing the meticulous care and expertise that goes into nurturing every grapevine. It’s a journey that unveils the mystery behind that exquisite glass of wine.
2. A Journey Through Time
Melbourne’s wineries aren’t just about wine; they’re living repositories of history. These winemaking estates have stories etched into their cellars, some dating back centuries. When you explore the aged cellars and underground barrel rooms, you’re transported to a different era. The cool, dimly lit spaces whisper tales of bygone days when winemakers labored tirelessly to perfect their craft. It’s an opportunity to appreciate the evolution of winemaking, from traditional methods to modern innovation.
3. The Art of Tasting
One of the highlights of any wine tour is, of course, the tasting. And it’s not just about sipping wine; it’s an art form.

1. Exclusive Access
One of the primary benefits of a wine tour is the access it provides. Many wineries are not open to the public, and those that are often have limited visiting hours. When you book a tour, you gain access to these otherwise elusive destinations. You can explore private vineyards, taste wines that aren’t available in stores, and engage with winemakers and experts. It’s an opportunity that offers an exclusive glimpse into the world of wine.
2. Learning and Appreciation
A Melbourne winery tour is not just about drinking; it’s about learning. The insights you gain from experienced guides and winemakers are invaluable.

These moments are indelible, cherished long after the tour has ended. A wine tour isn’t just an outing; it’s a memory-making adventure.
4. Networking and Socializing
Wine tours are also great for networking and socializing. You’ll meet fellow wine enthusiasts, bond over shared experiences, and possibly make lasting friendships. It’s a chance to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for wine, broadening your social circle while sipping on some of the finest vintages.
5. Support for Local Businesses
By participating in Melbourne winery tours, you’re not just treating yourself; you’re also supporting local businesses. The wine industry contributes significantly to the region’s economy, and your visit helps sustain these enterprises. You’re investing in the livelihoods of winemakers, farmers, and hospitality workers who are dedicated to providing you with an exceptional experience.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis
Of course, the decision to embark on a Melbourne winery tour should consider the cost, and it’s essential to weigh the expense against the value you’ll receive. While prices can vary depending on the tour and the winery, most tours are reasonably priced for the experience they offer. Consider it an investment in your wine education and your personal enjoyment.
Let’s do a quick cost-benefit analysis:
Costs:
Tour ticket: Varies but generally affordable.
Travel expenses: Depending on your location, you might need to account for transportation.
Time: A half-day or full-day commitment.
Benefits:
Exclusive access to wineries and vineyards.
Guided tastings with experts.
A deeper understanding of winemaking.
Unforgettable memories and experiences.
The potential to make new friends.
Support for local businesses.
Considering these factors, the benefits clearly outweigh the costs, making a Melbourne winery tour a valuable and worthwhile experience.
The Intangible Value of Wine Tours
Beyond the tangible benefits, wine tours offer something intangible—a sense of wonder and connection. They transport you to a world where time slows down, and you can savor each moment. As you sip wine amidst the vines or in a rustic cellar, you’ll find yourself not just tasting the wine but feeling the history, culture, and passion that surround it.
In a world filled with fast-paced living and digital distractions, a Melbourne winery tour provides a respite—a chance to reconnect with nature, history, and yourself. It’s an escape into the heart of winemaking, where the artistry of human endeavor meets the bounty of the earth.

December 21, 2022UncategorizedWant to make a little extra money when you’re not using your holiday home? Your income property can actually be a great asset to you and your family, even when you’re not there. There are plenty of options available that will both help you make some extra income, as well as keep your home safe and secure while you’re away.
Here we explore some of the best ways to make use of your property and monetize it when you’re away.
Rent Out Your Property
One of the most obvious solutions is to rent out your property while you are away. There are a number of platforms, such as Airbnb or Homeaway, that allow you to list your property and find potential renters.
You can determine how long and for how much someone will be allowed to rent it out for, as well as set rules about the type of guests you would like to welcome. Though this is an easy way to make money, be sure you understand the laws and regulations of your particular location so that you don’t get fined for operating an unlicensed rental.
Host Events or Gatherings
If you have a large enough property, consider hosting events or gatherings while you are away. This could mean anything from yoga retreats and corporate team-building exercises to wedding receptions and art exhibitions. This is a great way to bring in more income, and you can even enlist the help of event planners for a stress-free experience.
Store People’s Valuables
Do you have an extra room or two that could be used for storage? Consider offering your space up as a storage solution for people who need temporary storage. You can charge a fee for the service and be sure to get an agreement in writing.
Care for Pets
This may not be the best idea if you live close to your holiday home, but if it’s a bit further away, consider offering pet-sitting services while you’re gone. People will pay for their pets to stay in a comfortable environment that’s not too far from home. Just be sure you have a reliable pet sitter lined up and make sure the space is safe and secure for animals.
Offer Cleaning Services
Another great way to make some extra money while you’re away is to offer cleaning services. People often need help with chores and errands when they go on vacation, so why not let them know that your home is available for hire? You can even team up with local cleaners and offer a package deal.
Use Your Home as a Film Location
Are you located in a beautiful and unique area? If so, consider offering your property out to filmmakers or photographers who may be looking for locations to shoot their projects. You can charge them based on the size of the production and use the money to cover any expenses that come up while you are away.
Use Your Home as an Office
If you have a spacious property, consider renting it out as an office space. This could be perfect for freelancers or entrepreneurs who are looking for a temporary workspace. You can offer daily and weekly rates so that people don’t have to commit to long-term leases.
Rent Out Your Garden
If you have a garden, consider renting it out for special events. People often need outdoor spaces for parties, barbecues, and other celebrations. Just make sure your space is insured and up to code before allowing people on the property.
Create a Small Business
Consider using your property to start a small business while you are away. This could mean anything from providing catering services or renting out equipment to offering online classes or tutoring services. You can even rent out your home as an Airbnb co-working space.
Sell Your Produce
If you have a large enough garden and some extra time, consider growing your own products to sell while you are away. You can set up a farmers’ market stand or even look into having local restaurants buy from you. This is an easy way to make money, and it’s a great way to support the local economy
If you’re still unsure of what holiday house management services to offer, consider contacting a professional company that specializes in this type of work. They have the experience and knowledge to help you make the most out of your holiday home.
Wrap Up
Your home can be a great source of income while you are away. You can choose to rent it out, list it on a sharing economy site, or simply keep it open for friends and family. Consider the local laws and regulations before you do any such thing. If you have established yourself as a professional rental home in your community, then you may need to apply for proper permits and/or licenses.
With careful calculation and research, you can determine the most profitable and beneficial way to manage your home while you are away. Whether it’s an opportunity for leisure or an income-producing investment, make sure that whatever decision you choose is responsible and safe.

This is winter and spring time so be prepared for rain when you visit but it will remain warm with the average August temperature sitting around 22 ° c. If you do visit in summer, you will need to bring sunscreen and cover up. It may be tempting to work on your tan but the sun in Australia is quite harsh and Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world because of it. Be safe and cover up where possible and remember to apply sunscreen multiple times a day. We also recommend investing in a good quality pair of sunglasses to keep the UV rays out but the stunning views in.
The Nature Coast has a wide range of natural landscapes within it’s borders. Lush rainforests contrast with sun-swept beaches and the Glass House Mountains stand tall upon the panoramic horizon.
When exploring the Nature Coast it is highly recommended to travel by car or in a campervan. Take your time and enjoy the journey. The roads in this part of Queensland are usually quiet and there are plenty of places to park and to set up camp.
If you wish to stay on the Nature Coast but camping isn’t your style you can still experience all the region has to offer. There are many accommodation options available ranging from small forest cabins to beachside resorts and even mountain retreats ensuring that however you wish to travel there is an option to suit your needs.
Pack the camera and a spare battery, buy some sunscreen and come out to see the best Queensland has to offer. There are hundreds of unique experiences waiting for you on the Nature Coast. […]
November 17, 2020Tourism / Travel / WildlifePlatypus
Perhaps the most unusual animal on this list the platypus is a duck-billed mammal that lives in freshwater. It is vulnerable to extinction due to droughts, hunting of their fur and lost of habitat. These shy creatures only come out at night-time and if you see one it’s best to quietly observe. Don’t make any loud noises or sudden movements. The platypus is a beloved creature and favourite among children. It’s well worth trying to spot on your trip to the Nature Coast.
Dugongs
These peaceful mammals enjoy lazing around in the ocean grazing on various sea grasses. They are extremely docile. They are listed as being vulnerable to extinction but the Nature Coast has taken care to limit certain fishing activities near their habitats in order to help them thrive. These distinctive sea-creatures are believed to be the basis for the mythical mermaid.
Manta Rays
These gentle giants are a must see for anyone visiting Lady Elliot Island. Easy to spot between May and August they live in the region year-round. It is easy to get close to these creatures while swimming or diving and their tail spine is non-functioning making them quite safe to be around. They also have the largest brain to body weight ratio of all fish and they are more intelligent than the dolphin.
Goannas
Goannas can grow up to 2m long and although they are quite intriguing, we recommend watching them from a distance. They don’t tend to attack people, but it is not worth accidently provoking them. There are many smaller goanna species in Queensland and they are safe to get closer too if you are looking for a unique photo or want to guess what species they are by their markings. These carnivorous creatures will eat anything provided they can overpower it and take a bite so keep your fingers clear!
Flying-Fox
This strange looking creature is the largest flying mammal in the world. Also known as fruit-bats, they are useful for spreading seeds and pollen over large land areas. They tend to be nocturnal but can sometimes travel during the day. Flying-foxes have fantastic night vision. You can find several species in the Nature Coast including the black flying-fox, the Eastern tube-nosed bat and the little red flying-fox.
Bandicoots
These small marsupials are common along the Nature Coast and there are several varieties that call the region home. They are one of the harder animals to spot due to their small size and nocturnal lifestyle. If you do manage to spot a bandicoot watch how it burrows into the ground. Try not to disturb them too much and avoid using flash if you want to take a photo, opting to instead use a dim light to add volume to your photo.
Spinner Dolphins
Spinner dolphins love the tropical waters of the Nature Coast and visitors love watching their acrobatic performances. These marvellous creatures can jump up to 3.5 meters high and enjoy playing on the coast. They will often come close to small boats so it is easy to say hello and marvel at their displays. […]
