Did you hear the news travel fans? Cheap flights ARE ON THEIR WAY this April!
COVID has been as much fun for travellers as watching footy has been for crows fans this past year, but with life seemingly on the brink of returning to some normality (I mean toilet paper is now on the shelves again and we don’t have to buy the crappy pasta even the hoarders didn’t want) the Federal Government are going to help get us back in the air again!
So how exactly are they doing this? They are pumping $1.2 Billion (that’s Billion with a B…..or what Jeff Bezos has as loose change in his car) to subsidize about 800, 000 airline tickets for flights throughout Australia. With the exception of 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ to KI, all of the routes that will be cheap are interstate ones (so far any way), so bring on a trip to the Goldy for theme parks and more with the kids, or maybe stay local and jump on the KI flights. At this stage 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ routes that have been announced are as follows;
- 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ – Gold Coast
- 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ – Kingscote (Kangaroo Island)
- 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ – Maroochydore (QLD)
- 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ – Alice Springs
The flights will be available to purchase from April 1 for travel after May 1 (until the end of September), with Qantas , Virgin and Jetstar expected to be the main carriers (but smaller ones may jump on too). There may be more routes announced but at this stage, this is what is on offer.
So keep on eye out with your fave airline and good luck!

I recently got back from a 10 day holiday on the Hawaiian island of Oahu with my 3 year old daughter, my sister and her 13 year old son. We stayed at the Sheraton in Waikiki and hired a car so got to see quite a bit of the island. If you're ok with driving on the other side of the road I'd definitely recommend a car so you can escape Waikiki for a few days and see the other beautiful spots Oahu has to offer. There are LOADS of activities and places to visit on Oahu, these are just a few of my top tips for visiting Hawaii with kids. If you need any recommendations or other tips, please feel free to comment below and I'll try my best to answer. 1. Beaches - obviously one of the best parts of Oahu and Hawai'i is the beaches, but you need to be careful of strong rips and big beach breaks at a lot of them. If you've got younger kids and looking for a nice safe spot to swim check out Ala Moana Beach Park Hanauma Bay Diamond Head Cliffs Beach Kualoa Beach Park Kailua Beach or Waimea Bay…

Cruising is back, baby and we are HERE. FOR. IT! We recently got back from 10 days aboard Ovation of the Seas around New Zealand and after being initially hesitant about cruising with kids, I'm here to tell you, it's definitely worth a look at for your next family holiday. My 4 and 10 year old absolutely LOVED every second of it. Check out our FB and IG posts to see the proof! Ovation of the Seas docked at Picton, New Zealand Ovation Of The Seas holds almost 5,000 people although you wouldn't know it - once the passengers are spread out between the four pools, twenty restaurants, many bars, theatre, sporting and entertainment facilities means that it feels as spacious as it looks! Plus once you factor in people going ashore for tours and sightseeing, it's easy to find plenty of quiet spots to relax, enjoy a new activity or be entertained. This cruise ship literally has EVERYTHING. You would never, ever be bored and no matter whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, a group of friends or even solo there is something for you. Here are some of the highlights from our trip on Ovation…
