    So we made it back to Melbourne! 🚀⁠ ⁠ Sailo So we made it back to Melbourne! 🚀⁠⁠Sailor got a last minute call-in for work this week so I decided to hop down for a quick vacation. I always love coming back! We lived here before so it feels a bit like a second home and it was awesome catching up with old friends.⁠⁠It was about the same time last year that we last visited, so I couldn't wait to see how things have changed. The mood was a bit more sombre and it was such a shame to see so many business that sadly didn't make it through Covid. 😷 But hey Melbourne, I can see lots of cautious optimism and relief, you're doing well you beauty, keep it up!⁠〜⁠After days of typical Melbourne weather, I captured this shot on our last night when the sun ☀️⁠ finally made an appearance. Southbank looks purdy in the summer sun don't ya think. 🌻⁠⁠.⁠.⁠⁠#⁠melbournesouthbank⁠ #melbourneiloveyou #melbstagram #yarrariver #melbournecity #melburnian #melbourneinsta #melbmoment #melbournecityscape #visitvictoria #stayclosegofurther #seeaustralia #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid

    OMG, coral babies arrived in Port Douglas! 👶🏼⁠⁠After the massive coral spawning over the weekend along the Great Barrier Reef 🐠, we took a stroll along Four Mile Beach and found these colourful orange, yellow, pink, and green pools of water. How cool!⁠⁠So it turns out that from this biggest orgy on earth this is what's left, huge bundles of coral baby larva.⁠⁠Each year between October and December, this incredible natural phenomenon takes place across the Great Barrier Reef. Just a few days after a full moon ⁠🌕 when the sea is warm and conditions are perfect, coral reefs simultaneously release tiny eggs and sperm over a few days ready to be fertilised. ⁠#CueBarryWhite⁠⁠For the first time this year we got to watch it on telly thanks to @abctv and it looks like an underwater snowstorm. ⁠⁠Marine biologists say this year's spawning is the biggest on the reef in decades which is incredible news, particularly since it faced a third mass bleaching event this year due to climate change. ⁠⁠It was also truly inspiring to hear about the extraordinary work that scientists are doing to adapt & sustain the GBR during the challenges of today. ⁠🧬🙌🏼⁠⁠Head over to #ReefLiveAU on @abctv to get a glimpse of what it's all about, link in bio. ⁠⁠.⁠.⁠⁠#coralbabies #portdouglas #fourmilebeach #eyeonthereef #tropicalnorthqueensland  #coralspawning2020 #oceanlife #greatbarrierreef #coralreefs #spawning #queensland #thisisqueensland #exploretnq #australia 🇦🇺 #gbrlegacy #australiagram #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid

    It's beginning to look a lot like a hot and palmy It's beginning to look a lot like a hot and palmy tropical Chrimbo 🌴🍾⁠🎄⁠⁠Happy for the sprouting of decorations around town to inject some festive spirit. 🤶🏼 Even after six years in the tropics, it still doesn't quite feel like Christmas for me when it's busting 30+ outside!⁠⁠With family so far too, traditions have dwindled a bit these days, but I do love the chance to get outdoors, hit the road & explore somewhere new. ⁠⁠In a couple of weeks we're excited to dust off the cobwebs and venture out of our little bubble to see more of sunny Queensland. 😎 ⁠⁠I love living in the Sunshine State and haven't travelled far in the past year, so can't wait to experience more of this incredible coastline. ⁠⁠We'll be heading south in a campervan (we're CV newbies) stopping at a number of spots along the way to kiteboard (wind pending!), find epic landscapes, adventures and support local businesses. It should be fun.⁠⁠Very lucky to have booked it all back in August too as things booked out pretty fast!⁠⁠What are your plans for the festive period? I hope you're all keeping safe, well and out of trouble. 😉 Sending a festive cheer 🎉⁠⁠⁠.⁠.⁠⁠#tropicalchristmas #portdouglasdaintree #portdouglas #exploretnq #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #holidayherethisyear #summergreat #adventurenearnotfar #loveaustralia #australiagram #explorequeensland #queensland #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid⁠

    Beach life 🦀 ⁠ ⁠ For my birthday a few week Beach life 🦀 ⁠⁠For my birthday a few weeks ago we took a mini vacay to Mission Beach, just 3 hours south of Port Douglas. ⁠⁠I loved the vibes. It's uber chilled, beachy, a bit hippy and the locals are so friendly, it reminded us a lot of being in Thailand! ⁠⁠Pictured first is Kurrimine Beach which we visited for the morning. I read that it has the largest fringing reef on the Great Barrier Reef so during king low tides you can take a 40-minute walk to see the coral which is pretty cool.⁠⁠I didn't realise it was only between June & September so we missed out, but there was still so much life here to gawp over.⁠⁠Next time we'll be back for the reef walk, more rainforest strolls and kiteboarding - how awesome would this flatwater spot be?!⁠⁠.⁠⁠#kurriminebeach #cassowarycoast #farnorthqueensland #exploretnq #beachlife #downbythesea #australia #australianbeaches #queenslandcaptures #seeaustralia #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid
