Cooma Cottage, Cooma : Review

Posted on August 13, 2024 | 1 comment

During our recent snow trip, we had the pleasure of staying at Cooma Cottage in Cooma, and it was a wonderful experience. This charming retreat features three beautifully furnished bedrooms, comfortably accommodating up to nine guests. Each room is equipped with cosy beds and plenty of warm doonas, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day in the snow.

The cottage itself exudes a welcoming ambiance that made us feel right at home. The fully equipped kitchen was stocked with a wide variety of cooking items, plates, and cutlery, making it easy to prepare dinners and breakfasts.

The seamless communication further enhanced our stay, making Cooma Cottage the perfect base for our winter adventures. Whether we were unwinding on the sofa or planning our next day’s activities, the cottage provided the ideal blend of comfort and convenience.

I highly recommend this place for your stay in the Snowy Mountains if you’re heading there for your winter holidays.

We found the place through booking.com.

Address : 31 Baron Street, 2630 Cooma, Australia

Museum of Contemporary Art

Posted on August 12, 2024 | Leave a comment

You know how you can walk past a building countless times but never actually go inside? That was me with the Museum of Contemporary Art in The Rocks.

When my uncle visited from Nepal, we decided to finally check it out. The museum is a treasure trove of modern creativity, featuring a diverse range of contemporary artworks from both Australian and international artists.

We explored various exhibitions that showcased everything from paintings and sculptures to digital art and installations. Each piece offered a unique perspective on contemporary issues and artistic expression.

The museum has different entry options: paid areas on levels 1 and 3, and free entry on level 2. This mix allows visitors to enjoy both complimentary and premium exhibits.

Located in The Rocks, the museum offers stunning views of Sydney Harbour. We took a moment to enjoy the scenic backdrop, which enhanced the overall experience.

We also discovered that the museum offers a range of educational programs and workshops for all ages, making it a great place for families and art enthusiasts to learn more about contemporary art.

Visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art was a wonderful experience, and I’m glad we finally took the time to explore it. It was the perfect way to spend the day with my uncle, discovering new and inspiring artworks together.

If you are in the city, don’t forget to check out the Museum of Contemporary Art. It is definitely worth the time!

Our Trip to Snowy Mountain: Thredbo

Posted on August 9, 2024 | Leave a comment

While many of you are enjoying warm weather, it’s winter in Australia, and Sydney doesn’t get snow. To experience it, we had to drive 6 hours.

Our adventure began with a 3-hour drive from Sydney to Canberra, where we stayed with friends. From there, it was another 3.5-hour journey to the Snowy Mountains. Along the way, we stopped in Cooma to hire car chains and toboggans.

Initially, we planned to visit Perisher Valley, but by 10 am, the car park was full, so we headed to Thredbo instead. Unfortunately, we discovered that Thredbo doesn’t allow tobogganing, which was a bit disappointing.

Despite this, we were thrilled to experience the falling snow, especially since it was my kids’ first time seeing it. We made snowmen and had a blast with snowball fights. Although the kids were a little let down by not being able to toboggan, they had a fantastic time sliding on the snow and enjoying themselves.

Around 4 pm, as the wind started to pick up and it became extremely cold, we decided to return to our accommodation. We had booked a place in Cooma for the night. Stay tuned for more details about our stay in the next post!

Camden Valley Inn’s Land of Oz

Posted on July 9, 2024 | Leave a comment

I’m excited to share our recent adventure at Camden Valley Inn’s Land of Oz. This spot is perfect for families, offering a delightful journey down the yellow brick road.

Our journey began with vibrant colours, blooming flowers, and oversized lollipops, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Following the yellow brick road under an arching yellow door, our first stop was the life-sized Tin Man, which was so much fun to see and perfect for photos. Next, we met the Cowardly Lion, who was taller than me. We continued down the road to meet the Scarecrow. As we walked further, we encountered a charming little girl dressed as Dorothy, complete with ruby slippers, which really brought the Wizard of Oz theme to life. Along the way, we were delighted by the intricate details and playful decorations that made us feel like we had stepped right into the beloved storybook.

After exploring, we settled in for breakfast. Be prepared to wait a bit; our breakfast took about 45 minutes to arrive. But the wait wasn’t bad at all—we spent the time exploring and snapping photos. The breakfast was worth it. We loved our meals and coffee, and the kids enjoyed their food too.

One of the highlights was the big outdoor area at the back. It features a large kids’ playground and even a petting area with chickens and goats. The kids had a blast running around and meeting the animals.

Overall, we had a fantastic day out at Camden Valley Inn’s Land of Oz. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to walk down the yellow brick road. This attraction is available until July 31st and is open from 7 AM, seven days a week.

Thanks for watching, and happy adventures!

Plane Spotting at the Beach ✈️

Posted on June 6, 2024 | Leave a comment


After our brunch at Muglan, we decided to take the kids to watch the planes take off and land at The Grand Parade in Brighton-Le-Sands. We used to live around this area, and it has always been one of my favourite activities.

Located just south of Sydney Airport, Brighton-Le-Sands Beach is part of Lady Robinsons Beach and is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a sunny reprieve with beautiful views. At the end of the beach, you are so close to Sydney International Airport that you can see the planes land and take off up close.
I’ve always loved this spot. You can get some amazing landing photos of planes, and the area is surrounded by a beautiful beach. Parking here is easy, and the walk to the plane spotting spot is straightforward. The beach is lively, filled with people fishing, and the nearby rock pools are great to explore and spot wildlife such as crabs, fish, and seagulls.


We walked along the rocks and found a perfect spot where we could see the planes take off and land. We saw some big aircraft, and the kids got incredibly excited.

We spent some time just waiting for the next plane and then the next. The thrill of watching each plane ascend and descend was exhilarating for the kids and nostalgic for us.

It was a beautiful sunny day with a clear blue sky, making it the perfect time to spend with the kids. The weather was ideal for plane spotting, and the joy on the kids’ faces was priceless. The sound of the waves crashing and the sight of the planes soaring made it a memorable experience.

On the way back to the car park, we stopped at the kids’ playground where the kids had a blast while we took a moment to rest. The playground was well-equipped and safe, providing a fun diversion for the little ones. It was a really nice family time together.

Have you ever been to Brighton-Le-Sands for plane spotting? Share your experience!

Have a nice weekend !!!
