January 5, 2019

The first stop on our Big Lap of Australia, and we picked an absolute ripper! Halls Gap Lakeside is amazing.

A day trip to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade

March 28, 2018

We had the opportunity to get along to the Phillip Island Panguin Parade, down on Phillip Island. From Melbourne, it takes about an hour and a half to get down to Phillip Island. We had fish and chips for dinner in Cowes, joined by a thousand or so hungry seagulls. The kids had a blast! The Phillip Island Penguin Parade Visitor Centre was great, we were able to watch a short movie in their theatrette, before discovering about the little

An underground tour of the State Coal Mine

March 25, 2018

We were passing through Wonthaggi again and decided to visit the State Coal Mine one more time to participate in the Underground Mine Tour. We really wanted to do this on our last visit, but our itinerary didn’t allow it. We were passing through #wonthaggi again and took the chance to take the @state_coal_mine underground tour. It was fantastic! We bought a family pass and learnt all about the mines history, operstion and importance to the local area. Check out the

A weekend in Wonthaggi

March 21, 2018

We had a cycling event to participate in with the kids, so took the opportunity to do some weekend camping in Wonthaggi, Victoria. We grabbed our family tent, loaded up the car, and headed off for a short drive down the Bass Highway towards Phillip Island. Wonthaggi sits 130kms from Melbourne, veering off towards Inverloch and Wonthaggi from the Phillip Island road.

A family day trip to Healesville Sanctuary

February 26, 2018

We had a pretty clear weekend and decided to make a family day trip to Healesville Sanctuary, one of three zoos operated by Zoos Victoria. Healesville Sanctuary is renowned for being one of the greatest places to see Australia’s native wildlife and being in the heart of the Yarra Valley & the Dandenong Ranges there is an added bonus of being a beautiful drive to get there. [wpgmza id=”11″] It was a perfect day weather-wise for Todoing and on

A beach day at Sorrento on Port Phillip Bay

February 17, 2018

On a Saturday we headed early to the Sorrento Foreshore, parking at the Sorrento Foreshore Camp site to spend the day at the beach. The weather was perfect, high 20’s, with little wind. It was a great day for #todoing. [wpgmza id=”10″] Steph did a live post to our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/todoingfamily sharing a little bit about what we had planned for the day. We got ourselves set up, and the kids hit the water pretty much straight away. A

Camping at Paradise Valley Camping Ground

February 10, 2018

It really was as advertised – Paradise Valley! We love to go camping! Getting out of the daily grind, going to remote places with beautiful scenery and plenty of space for the children to run and play really doesn’t have any downsides. Now ordinarily you might suggest mozzies! But funnily enough, Paradise Valley is not just paradise due to the setting for camping, but a paradise with very limited insects! It must be perfectly in balance. That can be our

A Stay in Seaspray on the 90 Mile Beach

January 22, 2018

Seaspray is a hidden jewel for families on the 90 Mile Beach! The weather was hot and it was a great opportunity to get to the beach given it was the middle of the Victorian school holidays. The kids love the beach (a traditional Australian family getaway!) and we stayed at Beach Creek Cottage in Seaspray. This family home is 3 bedrooms, full kitchen, separate toilet and bathroom with all the mod-cons like Foxtel, WiFi and even an onsite playground.

Exploring our creeks and waterways

January 21, 2018

We joined DELWP Gippsland to explore a local creek! Who knows what an ‘estuary’ is? Thanks to the fabulous team at DELWP Gippsland (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning), we do now. We had a great opportunity to learn about the local creek in Seaspray, Merrimans Creek. It runs all the way from the Strezleki ranges down to the 90 Mile Beach in Seaspray. [wpgmza id=”5″] It was a perfect morning uncovering marine the marine environment in Merrimans Creek,

A walk along the 90 Mile Beach

January 17, 2018

We’re not doing the full 90 miles! But it’s a great stroll for the family. The 90 Mile Beach is as advertised. 90 miles long! It’s a beautiful stretch of beach to the South East in Gippsland, Victoria. Driving down the Princes Highway, head through Rosedale and off towards the lakes region. There are some great beach towns, many undiscovered for the bulk of the Melbourne population, many of whom now reside just 2 hours drive away. The urban sprawl
