The Wonderful Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary
The Healesville Animal Sanctuary is a wonderful place to visit and experience Australian native animals with guided tours and up-close encounters.
Where in the world are we?
The Healesville Animal Sanctuary is a great way to learn about Australian native animals and their habitats.
Visitors can take part in interactive activities, such as feeding the kangaroos and koalas, or take a guided tour to learn more about the sanctuary and its inhabitants. The sanctuary also offers educational programs for school groups, and hosts events throughout the year.
The sanctuary also offers a close encounter with one of Australia’s strangest animals, the platypus. You can walk through the platypus habitat and sprinkle some food on the water to encourage this unique animal to forage around you
Some of the close-up encounters book out early, so be sure you plan your visit. If you are not a zoo member, you need to book your tickets online for general admission. You can get all the details here

Cradle Mountain – The Ascent
Email from Ben: “I plan to climb Cradle Mountain when we visit the area in a few weeks – better start training”. So I reduced my alcohol consumption to one glass of wine a night (well, most nights) and did a bit of walking (on the flat) at weekends, so when we started our trek on a fine February day I was completely unprepared for what lay ahead.

Halong Bay is a beautiful bay in Northern Vietnam about 100 kms from Ho Chi Min City. There are over 1,600 islands in the bay and almost as many cruise boats offering a wide variety of experiences.
As you cruise through the bay in one of the famous ‘junk boats,’ you’ll pass by countless towering limestone rock formations surrounding the luxury cruise ship. The bay was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 and is today one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Vietnam.
