At the drop of a hat!
Burgo and I discovered beaches, caves, rocks, beaches, ancient life forms, valleys of giants and a lot more as we explored the natural attractions of Western Australia.
Enjoy our discussion in the audio below and a few examples in pics.
No matter how much you enjoy travelling, there are bound to be things you don’t enjoy. From people standing in the aisle of the plane when it stops to putting croissants on conveyor toasters, our discussion won’t solve the problems of the world but it might make you feel better just knowing these things annoy others.
Enjoy the audio below and please, it’s a short flight, there’s no need to recline the seat.
Enjoy the discussion in the audio below. I use some of my favourite places where I’ve stayed to work out why we stay where we stay. It might be because you want a warm B&B feeling, like Alda who runs L’arco Antico in Polignano Mare. It might be because you want a luxury resort experience like the amazing Apurva Kempinski in Bali or a full on funky vibe in a daring district like Chow Kit Hotel in KL.
If you enjoyed the discussion here’s a few pics of my favourite places for welcoming warmth, luxury and fun.
Three of my favourite places are in well discovered countries. Enjoy the audio below where Burgo and I explore Puglia, Kerala and Madikwe.
If you enjoyed listening, here’s just a few pics of these amazing destinations …
Talking Travel on 6PR with Burgo (audio at the end) spends a fair share of time overseas but came home this week to visit the things we’ve made that we can travel to.
Man-made attractions play a really important part in tourism, they represent heritage, engineering and sometimes are just there for fun. We had a caller who is about to visit Lake Argyle, the second biggest man-made lake in Australia. We mooooved our way down south to Cowarumup where they’re encouraging travellers to stop a while and enjoy the 42 life size cows that are in the streets and parks of this little town.
The Busselton Jetty, Lake Ballard sculptures, dams and lighthouses all got a mention and we even included the biggest periodic table in the world, right here in Perth!
Enjoy the pics and audio below:
The weather doesn’t matter when you stay at Pullman Bunker Bay. Enjoy the story below, published in Western Australia’s best newspaper, Have a Go News, available in print all over Western Australia an online all over the world.
Travel talk with Burgo was a lot of fun describing adventures to be found in Sarawak and in Sabah as well. Enjoy listening to the audio file below. In between the laughter there’s hopefully some good descriptions of the land beneath the wind.
Sarawak is an extraordinary experience whether you’re in the city of Kuching, travelling the waterways, trekking jungle paths or hiding from headhunters.
On 6PR with Fred we listed a few of our favourite travel firsts. First flights. First time overseas. First family holiday. Enjoy the discussion in the audio file below. Let me know what your favourite travel first is. I was in South Australia recently and my son Tom, who has travelled the world, was amazed by Stobie Poles.
With all the sites and sights of the world a power pole on his first trip to South Australia is what caught his attention!
Enjoy the audio below:
My love of islands came before my love of travelling. Making tea stained treasure maps after reading Treasure Island, imagining tropical beaches as I listened to Harry Belafonte sing, Island in the Sun.
With Burgo on 6PR we spent the evening going ashore on Rottnest, the Abrolhos, Borneo, Hong Kong and others.
Islands have history and culture, some have pristine beaches and impenetrable jungle and others are full of shops.
Whatever your island, go ashore and have the adventure of a lifetime!
In the 1990’s my brother sang in The Neptunes and one of their best songs was, ‘Down South’. It was about surfing, heading down south once you’ve finished the exams and having a good time before having to come back to Perth. Just saying ‘down south’ is enough. If you’re from Western Australia you know it means Margaret River, wineries, beaches, forests and lots of small towns along the way.
It also means camping grounds, farmstays, old pubs with a few rooms upstairs, forest cottages and beachside resorts. Enjoy the link below to my chat with Burgo.
When you head down south maybe our travel talk will remind you to pack an extra blanket and remember to stop at those roadside stalls for chutneys, jams and pickles. And remember to stay somewhere nice which for me is always the Pullman Bunker Bay. It has everything and is close to everything!
