Tony and Kim Outdoor Adventures

Ballina to Byron Bay Charity Walk “ Volunteers  do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” “You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.” The NSW coast is an unbelievable location with prestige beaches, breathtaking lookouts, fresh seafood and a mix between the beach lifestyle and relaxed country living. We headed out early Sunday morning for the 2 hour drive south to Broken Heads NSW. Only ten minutes south of Byron Bay, Broken Heads has preserved its unspoilt image to the point that you would swear you were a million miles from development. At the end of a bush road through the littoral rainforest, Broken Heads is the next headland south from the fabled Cape Byron, about 15km away. There's a beach resort and a caravan and camping park right near the beach, and a walking track over the headland to a string of isolated beaches. Even how persevered and unspoilt it is, you don’t what to spend any time here what so ever....

A TRIP UP THE RANGE, TOOWOOMBA “Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.” Up early Saturday morning we headed to the gateway of Queensland’s west, Toowoomba which is a casual two-hour drive from Brisbane and perches on a crest of the Great Dividing Range, 700 metres above sea level. Once a quiet farming community with some well-heeled residents and numerous private schools, the region is now embracing the arts, food and multiculturalism. A friendly, small-town vibe prevails in the Garden City, with its distinct seasons and heritage buildings. Australia’s biggest regional inland city is getting a bit hip in its old age. A food-and-arts scene has sprung up to complement the aroma of flowers and the sense of history that permeate Toowoomba’s fresh mountain air. We headed up the top of the Great Dividing Range and stopped first at Picnic Point. You’ll be mad not to check out the views. It was a great start to the day by taking the short ...

TimeWarp Festival, Ricks Garage, Palmwoods, Sunshine Coast “It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right,  and a shimmy, shimmy, all down the street” Nothing beats a good old-fashioned road trip. Whether it’s a leisurely Sunday drive or an extended journey to places without postcards, hitting the road offers unbridled freedom. On a quiet Sunday morning we headed to catch up with friends at Woombye once again at Hugga Mug Café.  This quirky little café is great for light breakfast and last time we were in town we had the most amazing food.  Very friendly staff, excellent menu offering full English breakfast ( the works ) or half a brekkie which suited us just fine. With tummies all full we headed to Palmwoods for the TimeWarp Festival. We penciled this festival off at the start of the year and we were glad we attended. The TimeWarp Festival has been held every year since 2015, at the iconic Ricks Garage in Palmwoods on the Sunsh...
