Probably the highest for a while that, as we’re off tomorrow for some Pacific wandering from Chengdu all the way to New Zealand, so our updates will probably be spotty at best; but never fear Dear Readers, we’ll be back by next month, not long to wait! Most hikers start just outside of Chamonix, France if they’re hiking the traditional counter-clockwise direction or they start in Champex, Switzerland if it’s the clockwise direction they’re going. We’ve made it to Bhutan via Kathmandu and Lhasa in that neighborhood, so we’ve flown around (more like through, really) the Himalayas a bit, but we definitely need to go back for some more, and that’s a region we could be convinced to take a trek, although one a good deal shorter than “close to a month p dir=”ltr”>So if you do fancy yourself a self-propelled modern day adventurer, Dear Reader, this is definitely a blog for you to top your reading list off with — and those of us of a generally more sedate bent to our travelling, you’ll no doubt find the adventures here entertaining reading, we certainly did!

After the storm blew through the Great Sandy World Heritage Area and disrupted our plans there, we set off early to the wilds of the Brisbane hinterlands to stop by no less than four of the literally dozens of properties that make up today’s World Heritage Site visit, as well as its tentative extension: This site, comprising several protected areas, is situated predominantly along the Great Escarpment on Australia’s east coast. The Gondwana Rainforests of Australia is a serial property comprising the major remaining areas of rainforest in southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales. This was at Bunya National Park, the most northerly of the parks in the Tentative Site extension; we took a charming walk through the enchanting forest as far as Pine Gorge Lookout — check out the video for the view from that, as well as the interesting birds we met along the way. The next day, we headed to Main Range Park and Cunningham’s Gap, where from the overlook you can see the city of Brisbane off in the distance: and stayed that night in a charming little cottage right by Purling Brook Falls in Springbrook National Park to the south of Brisbane: … and finally, topped off our three days of hiking with a visit to Natural Bridge, the top tourist attraction of the lot:

So, Dear Readers, we fairly often go over tools and strategies to find cheap flights on your own, and on occasion we’ve mentioned services that purport to find cheap flights for you … …but none of them have ever worked all that well.

And for our new blog to check out this week, here we are at #41 down from #34 last week: @TravelTalesLife‘s Travel Tales Of Life! 6 Stunning Restaurants With A View Around the World Even the most experienced food critic will have a challenging time savouring scrumptious morsels while gazing at a drab wall. Well, we’ve only been to the Cliffhouse out of that selection, although we’ve been close to all the rest except Victoria Falls — Brewski in particular is just a skip away from our day job at Agoda.com in Bangkok; we’re fans of Above Eleven‘s Peruvian-Japanese fusion but we’ll give Brewski a shot next time As the guide walks me through the raging waters of Victoria Falls toward Angel’s Pool the truth makes my eyes bulge just a little further out of their sockets.
