G'day! If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that life Down Under is an absolute ripper of a time. From stunning beaches to iconic landmarks, Australia has it all – and we've been lucky enough to call some of the best spots home sweet home (and still do, even though we live in the States!). Check it out!
Ah, Darling Harbour – the beating heart of Sydney and our go-to spot for a good time. Whether strolling along the waterfront, soaking up sunshine at one of the many alfresco cafes, or catching a show at the iconic Sydney Opera House, there's never a dull moment in this bustling precinct. Let's not forget about epic fireworks displays that light up the sky on special occasions – talk about a sight to behold! Honestly, we love Darling Harbour for the street entertainers too - their unreal!
As proud Canberrans (Bridget was born there), we can't help but shout out go to spots in the nation's capital. First up, Questacon – the ultimate playground for kids (and big kids at heart) with interactive exhibits and science experiments. Then there's Parliament House – a must-visit for history buffs and political junkies alike. And last but not least, the War Memorial – a place of reflection, reverence, & remembrance that holds a special place in our hearts remembering those that have come before (some of our grandparents specifically).
Brisbane sure knows how to throw a party, and River Fire is the ultimate shindig of the year (one of our favorite experiences for the year we lived in Brisbane)! Picture this: fireworks lighting up the night sky, live music pumping from the riverfront stages, and thousands of locals and visitors alike coming together to celebrate in style. Whether we're watching the action from the Kangaroo Point Cliffs or cruising along the Brisbane River on a ferry, River Fire never fails to impress – it's the highlight of our social calendar, no doubt!
When it comes to chill vibes and waterfront fun, South Bank is where it's at. We have spent countless hours here as a family enjoying fun in the heart of the city. From picnics in the lush parklands to lazy afternoons spent lounging by the lagoon pool, there's something for everyone in this vibrant precinct. And let's not forget about the epic street food markets and cultural festivals that pop up throughout the year – our taste buds are always in for a treat at South Bank!
Surf's up in our coastal town of Mooloolaba! When we're craving some saltwater therapy, you'll find us hanging out in the waves at Mooloolaba Beach with our extended family. With its golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and perfect waves, it's no wonder this slice of paradise on the Sunshine Coast stole our hearts. After a day of shredding the waves, we love kicking back with a cold brew at one of the beachfront bars and watching the sunset over the Pacific – pure bliss, mate!
And there you have it, folks – our top picks for living the Aussie dream in just a few of the best spots Down Under. Whether you're soaking up the sunshine in Sydney, catching a wave on the Sunshine Coast, or exploring the cultural gems of Canberra, there's never a dull moment in this great southern land. So here's to making memories, chasing adventures, and living life to the fullest – Aussie style! Cheers!
