It’s all too easy to hit up the backpacker and holidaymaker hot spots when holidaying in Australia. But as the ‘Great Southern Land’ is absolutely massive (to put it mildly), it suffices to say you can’t experience them all, so it pays to pick your destinations wisely. What’s more, if you’re not keen on sharing your hard-earned time with hordes of your fellow backpackers — you may like to consider some under-the-radar beachside and country towns and regions that offer amazing experiences, but...

With Google search results evermore gravitating towards ‘Zero Click’ trends, it should come as no surprise that having an optimised Google Business Profile (formerly ‘Google My Business’) is an absolute must for all businesses seeking local exposure.

The other ‘Straddie’
The lesser-frequented of the Stradbroke Islands that lie a short distance from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, South Stradbroke Island, or “South Straddie” as it’s known to locals, delivers isolation in exquisite natural surroundings. Not to mention, the opportunity to explore practically unpeopled beaches, freshwater marshlands, rolling dunes and prehistoric rainforests just 500 metres from the mainland and the glitz and glamour of the Gold Coast.
Many people are surprised ...

So, what is a floor plan? ​A floor plan is essentially an architectural map that provides a birds-eye view of a home and illustrates the relationships between the spaces and physical features. Floor plans don’t go into as much detail as other building plans or masterplan, like electrical and plumbing plans, but they serve a simple purpose which is to help you visualise how people will use and move through the space. This makes it easy for homebuyers to check whether the space is suitable for ...

Heading to Australia on a working holiday visa? Be sure to set aside ample time to experience the home of the ultimate backpacker bucket list in Australia — Queensland.

House and land packages offer a wide range of benefits and can seem very appealing to first home buyers. However, like any other property purchase, it’s essential to do your research and ask as many questions as you need before signing a contract. Whether this is your first time considering a house and land package or you’ve considered this option before, here are a few key questions to ask yourself to ensure you’re making the right decision before embarking on the home buying journey with a ...

We’re blessed with an abundance of warm sunny days here in Queensland, but just because the temperature is rising by the day as we enter summer, that doesn’t mean your household electricity bills need to. Rising prices are a fact of life, but we all have many reasons to tackle increasing energy costs and find ways to save electricity at home. This is important for the health of our household finances as well as the health of our local environment and the planet.
If you’re looking to build a n...

Tranquil Caloundra gem with yesteryear charm
Shelly Beach isn’t just one of the Sunshine Coast’s hidden gems, it’s one of Caloundra’s hidden gems: a stunning stretch of east-facing oceanfront that’s rarely crowded and boasts a yesteryear charm that many parts of the Sunshine Coast have lost. As the beach isn’t patrolled and isn’t ideal for swimming, Shelly Beach offers a different vibe and feel to its more frequented and busier neighbours — Kings Beach and Moffat Beach — making it a perfect d...

A warm city in more ways than one – even in winter – it’d be easy to point to the weather and the friendly nature of Brisbane’s locals as the reasons why Queensland has seen higher levels of interstate migration than any other Australian state or territory.
While its 300 days of sunshine and relaxed lifestyle are certainly contributing factors to the popularity of Brisbane and Southeast Queensland as a place to call home, there’s so much more here than sunny skies and friendly lo...
