Have you ever dreamt of something great and then realised one day it didn’t eventuate? You’re lying if you haven’t. As humans, we are dreamers. We’re idea makers and plan creators – and that’s what makes us great. Our minds come up with tens of thousands of ideas each any every day. Maybe more. That…

I just spent the weekend in north coast NSW and visited Nimbin, New South Wales, for the first time and liked it so much I nearly didn't leave!

Read here - http://becsbackyard.com/2015/06/17/how-nimbin-nearly-lured-me-in/ Visit NSW Lismore and Nimbin Tourism

Have you ever been to a place where the people are so friendly that it feels as though they are part of some cult and are trying to lure you in? I have a few times. I first experienced it in Cape Town. And then in Tasmania. And most recently in Nimbin. Being from Brisbane,…

When I’m in a new city, I like to see the cityscape from a high vantagepoint. This may have started during a visit to Sydney as a child, when I looked over the city from Centrepoint Tower. Seeing Sydney’s impressive beauty from high up above is a memory that still sticks in my mind. Since…

Something for all those bed lovers out there! http://becsbackyard.com/?p=840&preview=true

I love bed just as much as Brick Tamland from Anchorman loves lamp. We spend about a third of our lives in bed, so I think it’s essential for us to enjoy our time being tucked in as much as we do being tucked out. I know, being ‘tucked out’ doesn’t make much sense when…

A different type of transport journey - Eating and drinking aboard one of Melbourne's most iconic trams http://becsbackyard.com/2015/06/02/a-tram-journey-with-a-difference/

There are some things that you just have to do for the sake of it. For me, The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant is one of them. My boyfriend got swept up in the joy of Christmas and bought it late on Christmas night as a last minute additional gift. I love novelty tourist attractions, so, naturally,…
