    We did it!⁠!⁠ ⁠ It's so awesome to finally b We did it!⁠!⁠⁠It's so awesome to finally be at our new home in Western Australia. We got stuck in limbo for ages due to state border closures and 'rona related shenanigans... it took roughly 7 hotels, 3 lockdowns and a 16 day stopover in Darwin to get here, but it's all been worth it in the end.⁠⁠Until now we've been super busy setting up our new home and venture.⁠⁠⁠Some of you may know that we love kiteboarding and travel, and for a while now we've dreamt about setting up an idyllic kite stay for fellow adventurers. A place that's right on the beach with awesome conditions and surrounded by natural beauty. ⁠⁠When we found a house available along the Coral Coast earlier this year, we quickly flew over to take a look. Set on a 400 acre beachfront estate it has ocean views from every room, private access to the beach and its blissfully tranquil.⁠ ⁠We knew straight away that this place was perfect.⁠⁠For weeks we've been top to toe in DIY trying to set it up (Bunnings may start charging rent!) and hope to open soon. I'd love for you to follow along our journey, check out @glasshousewa⁠ 🌊 ⁠ ⁠to keep up to date with news and competitions!⁠ 💙⁠⁠⁠⁠#coralcoast #westernaustralia #wildflowercountry #geraldton #vacationrental #kiteboarding #kitestay #surfspot #windsurf #beachvibes #australia #boutiqueaccommodation #wanderoutyonder

    City in a garden 🍃⁠ ⁠ The Sailor and I have City in a garden 🍃⁠⁠The Sailor and I have been popping to Cairns for regular cheeky cityscapes over the past couple of years, and one of my favourite things to do here is of course, hit the hiking trails! There's so much green around the city that I'm pretty sure you can travel between Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands to do a different hike every week, and never have to do the same one twice in a year. This really is a city in a garden.⁠⁠Since we've been in limbo here for the past few weeks waiting to relocate to WA, we've managed to get to those last few on my bucket pile and now I've got a complete list of rippers to share. Expect plenty of rewards like scenic vistas, waterfalls, swimming holes and interesting nature to observe, link in bio 🐾 ⁠⁠There's certainly a lot I'm going to miss when we leave Far North Queensland but I think more than anything, I'm really going to miss the rainforest. Hard to explain but it sort of becomes a part of you after a while! If you're around, then I hope you enjoy these trails as much as I have ❤️⁠⁠⁠#hiking #cairns #cityinagarden #cairnslife #hikeaustralia #farnorthqueensland #explorefnq #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid

    Absolutely loved visiting Fitzroy Island over the Absolutely loved visiting Fitzroy Island over the weekend. The first (and last) time we came here was 7 years ago but I didn't get to see all the amazing coral off Nudey Beach then. It was beautiful, and so much better than I anticipated ❤️⁠⁠Each time I visit healthy spots on the GBR, it's a reminder of how incredible and diverse it is. Truly devastating that the Australian government still can't prioritise the Great Barrier Reef over coal mines or any decent climate policy. ⁠⁠⁠#coralreef #fiztroyisland #cairns #gbrmarinepark #coral #exploretnq #snorkelling #gbr #greatbarrierreef #australia #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid
