Tamlyns on Tour
Aussie road trip no. 4, part 1: Byron to North Queensland
Having organised to relocate a Mitsubishi Outlander (otherwise known as Winnie) for someone (thank you Fuchsia!!) from Coffs Harbour to just north of Port Douglas, we were set for our biggest road trip to date - around 2000km!! We planned to break the journey up into...
Camping weekend in Byron Bay
Before we said goodbye to our special friends the DonScrutts (who we had spent two weeks with over Christmas), to embark on our fourth Aussie road trip, a weekend camping together was in order! Having decided our most cost-effective route up to North Queensland was in...
Bellingen with our beautiful buddies
It’s been 16 months since our friends Beth, Wes (Jake’s childhood buddy), Charlie and George left us in Hove to return to their Australian life. We had been lucky to have them living round the corner for three years, but have missed them terribly since they’ve been...
Road trip no 3: Sydney to Bellingen
Christmas is almost here, and we have 3 days to get to Bellingen, where we’ll spend the festive period with our much-missed friends Beth, Wes, Charlie and George...we can’t wait to see them! Hiring a car in Sydney, we had a whistle stop tour up the coast, stopping...
Living the dream in Sydney for a few days
Note to readers: the WiFi is pretty sporadic in Oz, so this post is about 3 weeks out of date! Saying goodbye to our camper was pretty sad, but arriving in North Bondi, to sunny skies and market day, more than made up for it! We rented an apartment next to popular...
Aussie road trip 2: Melbourne to Sydney in a camper!
To say we were excited by the prospect of hiring a campervan has to be one of the most underrated statements in the history of Tamlyns on tour! We were lucky to secure a relocation deal (if you haven't heard about these before, get researching - they're brilliant!...
Aussie road trip 1: The Great Ocean Road
Collecting a hire car in Sydney, we were pretty excited to begin our first ever road trip in Australia! Bound for the Great Ocean Road, it took us a little while to drive out of the city. We used this time to learn about the story of the Great Ocean Road, because it...
Brief stop in Melbourne
After saying a sad farewell to Bali, we hopped onto an overnight flight to Australia, yippee! After just five and a half hours we set down in Melbourne, landing as the sun rose over the city. Thankfully, our Airbnb host let us check in mega early, given we’d arrived...
Final night in Bali – Sanur
Our time in Bali has come to a close, so sad! For our final night we headed to Sanur, to be closer to the airport. Sanur’s a bit more developed than we have been used to (but not as busy as other towns in the south of Bali!), so much chose to stay a little off the...
Lodtundah, a hidden gem
Wanting to avoid staying in touristy Ubud, but with an interest in seeing how this part of Bali has changed since we first visited 17 years ago, we stumbled upon Lodtundah - a small peaceful village only 10-15 minutes drive south from Ubud. For the record, if you are...
