Sunrise Track is located in the Ruahine Ranges in Hawke’s Bay. It is a family friendly track which is pretty safe in most weather conditions. This is an easy walk on a well maintained track. The walk is almost entirely up-hill and will take about 2 – 3 hours or about 5 hours return. I’m sure some super-fit people could reach the hut in an hour if so inclined!
There is so much to do in Townsville, and better still there is a lot to do that is free, yep that’s what I said FREE!

The Strand has a water playground and there is a free swimming pool. Art galleries, street art, a free movie night and plenty of walking trails.
Hong Kong is not know as a budget destination, however there is a multitude of things to do that are free, or at the very least cheap, that makes visiting Hong Kong viable even for the most budget conscious travellers.

Street art has come a long way from the days of simple graffiti and tags. Street art is booming worldwide! Many cities are embracing this expressive art movement and Hong Kong is not being left behind.

From these festivals many creative wall murals now adorn Hong Kongs streets, lane ways and shop-front shutters.
Hawke’s Bay, on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, is actually New Zealand’s oldest wine region with a history beginning as early as 1851. The area has a temperate climate, and being one of New Zealand’s warmest and driest regions it is perfect for producing the award winning wines it is famous for. Hawke’s Bay is known predominately for Bordeaux style reds, Chardonnay and the famed Gimblett Gravels.

Street food is a quintessential experience of Thailand should not be missed. Don’t limit yourself to hotel restaurants and other fancy venues; if you do, you will miss out of some of the most sense stimulating food there is. Thai food looks exciting, smells delicious and is a tastebud’s delight. Vivid, aromatic and piquant… it ticks all the boxes.
