Travel: Paddleboarding in Townsville
Paddleboarding in Townsville, Queensland, Australia! Have you ever been stand up paddleboarding? We have and love it. However, we have never been paddleboarding in the ocean.

Some of our favourite paddleboarding is in calm, shallow waters, not becaues we’re afraid of the water, but because we love to explore and see what’s happening below. Our favourite paddle experience was back in 2017 in Christina Creek, but…

Travel: Mount Tyson
Mount Tyson – one of the most difficult hikes I’ve ever done. Not only was it a full 4 hours, we spent about 3 of those hours going up, and took us about an hour to get down. It’s a workout, that’s for sure! Mount Tyson The sign upon entry mentions that it’s difficult and you should be an experienced bushwalker.
