A misty sunrise on the Yellow Water Billabong is a must-see in Kakadu National Park. We were blessed with the most amazing local guide Dennis who pointed out wildlife, told us stories of his childhood on the billabong and shared so much with us that made the cruise a highlight of our @ntaustralia Top End adventure. We saw so many crocs and birds, including the Jabiru. It’s colder than you’d imagine on the water so rug up and bring snacks for kids who will be missing brekkie. @kakadutourism #yellowwaterbillabong #yellowwatertaxi #kakadunationalpark #kakadu

The mighty Jim Jim falls is spectacular in the dry season. The hike to #jimjimfalls involves a lot of scrambling over sharp rocks like you can see in the photos. It was a tough climb for our city kid (and for my quads 😆) but what a stunning prize at the end. As we are about to start week two of remote schooling and week four of lockdown in Sydney, we are so thankful we managed to squeeze in this amazing experience when we did. @kakadutourism @ntaustralia #kakadunationalpark #kakadu #ntaustralia

What's lockdown without a movie and baking? We had a great time making bunny cupcakes and watching the new Peter Rabbit 2 movie (out now on digital!). If you're looking for a way to entertain your small ones right now, it's the perfect delicious activity and escapism that we really needed! We used the Magnolia Bakery cupcake recipe and yolo'd it with the frosting and decorations because decorating should always be the fun, creative bit! Share your own Peter Rabbit themed cake or baked goodies to win one of three Peter Rabbit 2 merch packs by tagging #PeterRabbit2 @Ownyourkicksau #spon

We are stuck in the middle a covid outbreak in Sydney that is not looking great 😬 but I’m grateful beyond belief that we were able to take this trip to the @ntaustralia just before the lockdown. Photo taken at the beautiful Jim Jim falls in @kakadutourism. You need a 4WD to access the falls and it’s also a difficult walk from the car park to the falls (it took us about an hour). Worth it though to see this majestic swimming hole at the end of the walk! The water is a bit chilly, but so beautiful. The walk to the falls is open seasonally so check it’s open before making the drive and hike. If you visit in the dry season the road is open to do the hike but if you visit in the wet season you’ll get to see the falls in full deluge! #jimjimfalls #kakadunationalpark #kakadu

In honor of NAIDOC Week I wanted to talk about an incredible experience we had in the @ntaustralia at @topdidj in Katherine. Top Didj run a cultural experience where guests can learn about life on Country thanks to the incredible Manuel, who was born in nearby Katherine Gorge while his parents were going walkabout “around 60 years ago”. Manuel shares stories of his childhood, hunting for each meal, and gave us a lesson in skills including making fire, throwing spears using a woomera and traditional painting. Manuel is one of the last three living speakers of Dalabon, an Australian Indigenous language spoken in Arnhem Land. Thank you so much Manuel for sharing your language and stories with us. #naidocweek #topdidj #ntaustralia

Hello teeth! A visit to Darwin isn’t complete without seeing 🐊. We highly enjoyed the @spectacularjumpingcrocodiles tour on the Adelaide River. There are a few jumping crocodile tours however this is the only one that is Aboriginal-owned. You’ll want to keep your limbs well inside the boat during this tour - no point in wearing life jackets as if you fall in, there are 10,000 lifeguards who will find you before you have a chance to drown 😅 the crocodile population was decimated from 26 years of intense commercial hunting, and was declared a protected species in 1971 to allow the wild population to recover. The biggest threat local crocs now face is attack from each other - they’re angry, territorial reptiles who don’t play well with others! @ntaustralia #ntaustralia #crocodile #crocodiles #darwin #jumpingcroc #jumpingcrocs #saltwatercrocodile

We made it out to the NT just in time 🎉 First trip out of NSW in a year and a half 😧 We’ve just spent the most incredible 10 days driving around the Top End swimming in waterfalls, getting a little too close to crocs and experiencing indigenous culture first-hand. What a trip. So lucky that we are here as we hear about Greater Sydney going into lockdown tonight. So sorry for all the holidays cancelled yet again 😔 stay safe Sydney friends! @ntaustralia @kakadutourism #ntaustralia #kakadunationalpark

Bookworm in the family? Reading is one of my greatest pleasures and I’m so happy the kid loves books too. Photo taken in the amazing @lastbookstorela where we highly enjoyed celebrating our love of reading and found many new books to read on the flight home that night. Are you a bookworm too? 📚 🐛 #lastbookstore #lastbookstorela

Tip toe through The Secret Garden at @thegrounds. Paying homage to the classic book by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Grounds has transformed into a magical garden filled with thousands of flowers. On display until August 15, there’s lots of time to explore this floral wonderland. #secretgarden #thegroundssecretgarden #thegrounds #thegroundsofalexandria

The final autumn leaves are falling this week. 🍁 Last year we spent autumn in lock down and I missed seeing the leaves change. I’ve taken so much joy this past year in the simple things like leaves turning fiery red and yellow and falling in huge piles ready to be thrown and run through. Photo taken at the stunning @breenholdgardens in #MountWilson.

In spring last year we had a wonderful road trip around central west NSW basically following the flowers. @mayfieldgarden in Oberon (just past the Blue Mountains) comes alive in spring with incredible blossoms, set against stunning canola fields. We have been highly enjoying seeing parts of our state that we haven’t experienced before over the last year and our flower tour of NSW was such a beautiful way to see the countryside! #canola #canolafields #mayfieldgardens

Jump into Monet’s water lilies at @grande_experiences @monetandfriendssydney. This incredible digital art exhibition is on at @eqmoorepark until May 28. It’s the perfect introduction to Impressionism for kids, with a stunning display of art works projected onto the walls and floor plus photographs and moving graphics. A wonderful way to spend an hour or so completely immersed in art (it’s also completely accessible for strollers and wheelchairs).#monetandfriends

A stunning autumn day at @breenholdgardens in Mount Wilson (two hours west of the Sydney CBD). The colours are breathtaking and at their peak right now, so if you can, go go go! There are several private gardens at Mount Wilson and most if not all are dog-friendly 👏🏻 #breenholdgardens #mountwilson #mtwilson

Somewhat unbelievably it’s been 16 months since

Somewhat unbelievably it’s been 16 months since we left the country last. I’m still quite stunned whenever I stop to think about how long it might be till we are able to travel freely again - honestly I try not to think to much about it and instead try to focus on counting my blessings, but I really feel like the pandemic has stolen so much from us, especially time. Time with loved ones, time experiencing the world with our kids. Photo take on the last day of our last overseas trip before Covid hit, enjoying Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room at @thebroadmuseum in LA. I look back at this moment and can’t believe how different the world now is. #yayoikusama #thebroadmuseum

We added the adorable @alicehavanese to our family a few weeks ago and now she’s had her shots we are loving taking her out exploring around Sydney. Photo taken at the extremely pooch-friendly Clifton Gardens. It’s been so much fun having a puppy in the house - it’s been such a joyful time for all of us. Dog-friendly explorations coming (at some point 😅) to the blog! #sydneydogs #sydneywithdogs

Hop on down to the @langhamsydney and enjoy their #EasterHighTea before the long weekend is over. Three tiers of Easter-themed sweets and savouries await, including tea / coffee, a mocktail for kids, and face painting. Such a delightful way to celebrate Easter with loved ones! Happy Easter! 🐣🐰

I love these huge, gentle creatures that are quiet

I love these huge, gentle creatures that are quietly going extinct in the wild. On our recent trip to @visitcanberra we had the privilege of meeting the #giraffe herd at the @nationalzoo (don’t worry it was socially distant for humans and animals). Giraffes have the same number of vertebrae as humans, did you know? Each one can be over 10 inches long 😱 The National Zoo & Aquarium is a part of the accredited international breeding program for giraffes, which is sorely needed right now considering the over the last 30 years it is estimated that the total population of giraffes has plummeted by 40% due to habitat loss and human destruction. With only approximately 111,000 #giraffes remaining in the wild, these endangered giants need all the protection and help we can give them. #nationalzoo #nationalzooandaquarium #giraffesofinstagram

In a moment of madness we decided to drive three hours to the @nationalgalleryaus to see #VanGogh’s #Sunflowers. Yes and the rest of the #bottacellitovangogh exhibition but basically this one perfect painting. And yes it was worth it. The painting literally glowed from across the room like it had a lightbulb inside it. I’ve never seen anything so luminous. Reproductions do not do it justice and I’m beyond grateful I had this opportunity to show the kid such a masterpiece in person. “I think the yellow represents happiness and hope,” she said, which is 💯, as the painting was created during one of Van Gogh’s rare periods of optimism. We could all use a bit of optimism right now, don’t you think? 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

It’s been so empty in Sydney all year that’s it’s been quite a surreal experience to walk around the Harbour where there would usually be thousands of tourists milling and not see a single soul. The businesses in the CBD have been suffering with the double whammy of no tourists plus people working from home, so we have been dropping by frequently on weekends to support cafes and local businesses. With NSW currently doing so well I hope to see this area coming back to life again soon. #sydneyaustralia #sydneylife #sydneylifestyle
