Cape Tribulation Valley – where the imagination goes and delivers a serene stroll through the Daintree Rainforest, with cassowaries ambling past boardwalks and the Coral Sea glistening in the distance beyond a sea of trees. And yes – some days it’s exactly like that. But on my first attempt to get into the valley, during

Hill Inlet has a certain “wow factor” to it, but let me tell you, having spent years wandering around Australia’s beaches, deserts, backstreets and, ok, maybe the odd dodgy campsite loo – Hill Inlet truly lives up to all the hype. I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and the first time I stood above that stunning swirl of

The Tamborine Botanic Gardens – I stumbled upon them on a quiet Sunday morning, high up on Tamborine Mountain. Mornings like this – the mist had settled in over the ridgeline, and every branch was whispering its own little secret to the wind – get your imagination going in no time. And as I, Oleksandr

Wandering along Gallery Walk on Tamborine Mountain – it’s a bit like stumbling upon a treasure map that’s been left out in the open. As Oleksandr Honcharenko, I’ve spent more time ambling along Long Road than I can count – dodging magpies on spring mornings is no rare feat – yet every time I still
