Cape Tribulation Beach Travel Guide has been my trusty travel companion across notebook after notebook for years – and it’s not because I’ve struggled to put this place into words, but because every single time I visit, I come back with a new story in my pocket. I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and after wandering around more […]

I’ve learned over the years that the Cooktown Drive Road is no ordinary road trip – it’s basically throwing you everything at once: rainforest, reef, corrugations, and red dirt. When I first drove this loop as Oleksandr Honcharenko, my GPS tried to take me swimming with the fish near the Bloomfield Track, and an obliging

Cape York – a place that completely earns every bit of its reputation. The Cape York Peninsula is just so wild, so remote that you can’t help but feel humbled by its rugged beauty. Tropical rainforests sprawl across the landscape, while the Great Dividing Range stretches out in rugged ridges, and the sea beats against
Visiting Wujal Wujal in QLD is one of those places that leaves a lasting impression – even after the dust has settled and the wheels have stopped rattling, long after you pull out of town. First-hand experience for me – Oleksandr Honcharenko – as I made my way through for the first time, showed just

Cooktown throws you in the deep end – history, wild coastline and a rugged frontier spirit that still lingers in the air on Charlotte Street in Cooktown. That was my introduction to this gem of a town as Oleksandr Honcharenko, and it started with me landing right on the banks of the Endeavour River –
Your practical guide to Tropical North Queensland started juggling itself around in my brain years ago, somewhere between a soggy old swag precariously perched on the edge of the Daintree Rainforest & a servo pie, somehow amazingly still edible even after a week in the esky. I’m Oleksandr Honcharenko, and one thing I’ve definitely learnt

Moreton Bay Marine Park sprawls over a staggering 3,400 square kilometres of tidal flats, coral reefs, seagrass meadows and island coastlines, just a stone’s throw from Brisbane – and it’s right up there with the most accessible yet woefully misunderstood marine protected areas in Australia. I’ve spent many an hour exploring the bay by tinnie,

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
Lamington National Park – the kind of place where a little curiosity goes a long way toward keeping things interesting. Look up, and suddenly the whole sky’s disappeared into the canopy above; look down, and there’ll be a trapdoor spider hole where you were planning to sit – great spot to have a seat. This
