Travel Traditions

Travel Traditions are the little things people do on holiday that makes it memorable for them. For example, some people keep a well recorded travel diary and include all sorts of bits and pieces such as ticket butts, dried plants, menus, brochures, etc.
Other people take photos of plants from their travel destinations and still others write emails home to themselves from internet cafes along the journey.

We would love to hear about your travel traditions, so that we can put together a story to share with others.

Blue Mountains Adventure weekend


Our weekend getaway was enjoyed by a group of 10 adventurous women. After perfect weather over the past few weeks, we had the misfortune of rain on Saturday, but we didn't let that spoil our great bushwalk in the Blue Mountains. We walked down into the Grand Canyon in Blackheath and along the Cliff Top walk. Even though the view was blurred by clouds, it did clear up for us later in the day.

The afternoon was filled with a 2 hour long yoga and relaxation session which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
Bright and early on Sunday morning the group of bushwalkers transformed into a group of abseilers as we scampered down ropes and worked up to a 30 metre abseil with an overhang! We were all so proud of our accomplishments.
