      Some weeks ago, our Southern California Wine Council greeted 2022 with a tasting of five wines from the Land Down Under which are exported to the United States.  Four of these wines are produced by Eight at the Gate in the Wrattonbully wine country located along the country's southeastern coast, about 280 miles from Melbourne and stretching throughout the hill country of the Stewarts and Naracoorte mountain ranges.  This area has a temperate climate, long growing season, and…

10 Australia road-trip tips

  In terms of epic journeys, you’re not going to get much bigger than road tripping around the land Down Under. This huge landmass has more differing landscapes and areas of natural beauty than perhaps anywhere else in the world, from stunning beaches, lush rainforests, the red centre, Uluru, and massive cosmopolitan cities, all with a laid-back vibe and rich culture to explore.   Of course, with any journey of this size, you need to know a little about what you’re getting yourself into before…

Outback cited in 'Using Astrology to Plan Travel this Holiday Season'

Walkerssk/Pixabay Still vibrant and popular today, the five-thousand-year-old art of astrology can identify, say, business and romantic opportunities or challenges. And those celestial bodies slinking about the stars can also help pinpoint optimal times and places for travel.

  • Hiking the Bungle Bungles is also spectacular as is Tunnel Creek and Windjanner Gorge but take care when driving on the beaches near Broome...you can get 'swept' away if you get bogged down. Drive WA from top to bottom via Monkey Mia, Wave Rock et al....either in a camper or with a tour group...many options at net of commission prices available to members of TheTopTravelClub.com.
  • I love the Orion: small, rugged (expedition-wise); staff not only impeccable but charming and friendly, food fantastic (not that I ate much, ha!), itinerary around the Kimberley excellent. This is my style of cruising, intimate and interesting. Any time, any place Orion - you've got me!
  • Beverley, Did you love Orion?
  • Yes, Bev, Australia is full of 'double' names - Wagga Wagga, Kin Kin, Goonoo Goonoo ... I once had a list of about thirty which I had collected.
  • Looking to previous comments, Sally I have just visited another 'double take' name. In the Kimberley, WA I left the Orion ship in Wyndham and took a flight over the Bungle Bungles - a once in a lifetime experience, not only exciting but incredibly moving.
