Soak up the sunshine at feel-good musical Singin’ in the Rain

July 11, 2016 by Kirralee 8 Comments

Singin in the Rain

Brought to you by Nuffnang and Singin' in the Rain The catchy toe-tapping songs in this brand new, high-energy production of Singin' in the Rain had me jigging about in my seat. I adore old-school movie musicals and was thrilled that this new show has mastered every aspect to create a production that well deserves the sell-out West End season and multiple Olivier Award … [Read more...]

Review | Billabong Camp at Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo

May 24, 2016 by Kirralee 8 Comments

Dubbo roadtrip

Billabong Camp is one of three accommodation options in the grounds of Taronga Western Plains Zoo (aka Dubbo Zoo), but it is not merely a spot to lay your head, it is an all-inclusive camping experience, chock-full of unique activities from late afternoon until morning. I am not a camper. My camping experience is limited to girl guide camps and a high school tour of Central … [Read more...]

How to plan your first trip to Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo

May 19, 2016 by Kirralee 4 Comments

Dubbo roadtrip

As magnificent as Taronga Western Plains Zoo (aka Dubbo Zoo) is, planning a trip out here can be a daunting prospect, simply because it's so far away from anywhere. At approximately 5 hours from each of Sydney and Canberra, you definitely need to allow some time to get here. On our recent trip we headed off at lunchtime on the Friday before a long weekend, had two days at … [Read more...]

Sydney to Dubbo drive  | Get back to nature on this weekend away

May 13, 2016 by Kirralee 11 Comments

Dubbo roadtrip

Brought to you by Mitsubishi Motors Australia Way out to the north west of Sydney, in the flat sheep-covered plains of central New South Wales, lies Dubbo, home of the magnificent Taronga Western Plains Zoo. With the Sydney to Dubbo drive being over 5 hours drive, this road trip needs at least a long weekend to do it justice, preferably more. Especially when there's so much to … [Read more...]

IMAX Darling Harbour | Turning a movie into an event

April 20, 2016 by Kirralee Leave a Comment

IMAX Darling Harbour

You don't really watch an IMAX movie. You experience it. The 8-storey screen completely envelops you and draws you right inside the film. Especially if it's 3D! The movie becomes more intense - its impact seems amplified by the screen size. This is an experience so far removed from a DVD at home that it becomes an event. And being surrounded by cafes, tourist attractions … [Read more...]

Hunter Valley Gardens | Making Wine Country kid-friendly

April 17, 2016 by Kirralee 6 Comments

Hunter Valley Gardens

There's plenty to keep Mum and Dad happy in the Hunter Valley, with incredible food, wine and views for days, but it is the Hunter Valley Gardens that excels in entertaining the kids. The Hunter Valley, Australia's oldest and best-known wine region, lies just over 2 hours north of Sydney CBD. The perfect distance for a weekend away! So this week, being school holidays, I … [Read more...]

Dream Lover – The Bobby Darin Musical

Brought to you by Nuffnang and Dream Lover Blessed with a seductive voice and oozing charisma, legendary American singer, songwriter and actor Bobby Darin was a complicated and dynamic performer, who redefined the idea of rhythm in the 1950s and ‘60s. After suffering from rheumatic fever as a child, he always knew he would die young. So, as brand new Australian musical Dream … [Read more...]

Review | QT Sydney

Review - QT Sydney

When you have the rare opportunity for a night away without the kids, a bland and boring hotel room is just not good enough. Leave your responsibilities at home and step into a world of glamour at QT Sydney. Located next door to The State Theatre and sitting snugly between the shopping delights of QVB and Pitt Street Mall, QT is superbly central and walking distance to every … [Read more...]

Review | Atura Albury

December 20, 2015 by Kirralee 5 Comments

Atura Albury

The Atura Albury is a groovy family-friendly hotel. It brings a big-city, stylish vibe to Albury in country NSW, in a riot of colour, cool decor and quirky wallpaper. And it is FABULOUS!  Atura Albury The kids and I recently did the 10 hour Sydney-Melbourne drive without hubster, so to break up the trip (and ensure I didn't fall asleep at the wheel!) we stayed a night at … [Read more...]

Myer Giftorium – Your one-stop Christmas shop

November 19, 2015 by Kirralee 6 Comments

Myer Giftorium

How many people are you buying for this Christmas? It's a bit overwhelming isn't it. I've got 12 I think (or have I forgotten someone?), and I'm sure that's not a lot in the scheme of things. But I'm not great at choosing gifts. Possibly because I over-think it and talk myself out of any ideas, or possibly because everyone seems to have everything that they want, or possibly … [Read more...]
