🌴 Planning a trip to the Gold Coast this summer? Here’s how to make the most of it.

Like many Aussies, we grew up holidaying on the Gold Coast — but it wasn’t until adulthood that we realised there’s way more than just theme parks, nightlife, and high-rises (as fun as they are!).

On our recent 5-day trip, we explored it all: iconic beaches like Burleigh Headland, the calm waters of Tallebudgera Creek, rainforest escapes at Springbrook, and the charm of Tamborine Mountain.

From surf spots and cultural events to breweries and hidden nature, the Gold Coast has evolved into one of Australia’s most exciting destinations.

Uluru is one of Australia’s most iconic destinations — but between the remote location, unique setup, and endless experiences, planning a trip can feel a bit overwhelming.

To save you the stress, we’ve pulled it all together into the ultimate Uluru itinerary — what to do, where to stay, and how to make your trip unforgettable.

🚐 Planning an Alice Springs to Uluru drive?

We recently road-tripped this iconic outback route in a camper and wow… what an adventure. From the West MacDonnell Ranges and Kings Canyon to the incredible Uluru and Kata Tjuta, it’s a trip we’ll never forget.

But planning wasn’t as simple as we expected — fuel stops, road restrictions, and where to stay can get tricky. That’s why we’ve pulled together everything we wish we’d known before setting off.
