We’ve just spent 8 days in Port Douglas with Kids and it was absolutely awesome. It’s hard pressed to decide whether a week in Port Douglas with kids trumps a week on Hamilton Island. I just can’t decide. Port Douglas has a lot more to do with varying types of activities. Port Douglas wins but […]
Fairmont Resort, Blue Mountains
If you follow AllThingsMomSydney on Facebook or Instagram you’ll know that we love the Fairmont Resort in the Blue Mountains. We try get up there at least once a year, it’s one of the true child-friendly hotels in New South Wales and the location is absolutely magnificent. It helps that it is close to Sydney […]
A weekend on the Central Coast
Living in Sydney it seems crazy that we had never spent a weekend on the Central Coast. I think in the past we’ve always headed to the Blue Mountains because it’s so different to where we live on the Beaches or to Canberra because we just love it there. This winter we decided to take […]

Sadly, the Blue Mountains has been affected by all the fires and the devastation. The are has really suffered this season as a result of the bush fires and it’s left the tourism industry […]
The Australian War Memorial with Kids
This post focuses on how to visit the Australian War Memorial with Kids. While it may not seem to be a place to take kids, it does have a child friendly area and it’s great to expose kids to the significance of war memorials. It’s also a great activity for rainy days. One of the […]
Visiting the Central Deborah Gold Mine with kids
Going down a gold mine has to be one of the best things I’ve ever done with the kids. I was really worried about visiting the Central Deborah Gold Mine with kids. Going down a mine with two children alone… But it was so unnecessary!! The whole experience was perfect and they both loved it as much as I did.
What to do in Port Stephens
There are quite a few things to do in Port Stephens. From camel rides in the dunes to spotting Koalas in their natural habitat. It’s also a magnificent place to visit. We were completely blown away by the natural beauty of the area. 2.5 hours from Sydney (unless you try on a Friday night) Port […]
Fighter World
Fighter World is not where you take your toddler to fight it out with another toddler, would that be insane. It’s an aviation museum. Fighter World is dedicated to preserving the proud history of fighter aircraft operations in the Royal Australian Air Force. We really enjoyed our visit to Fighter World. I took over 120 […]
Confectionery Capers in Greater Bendigo
Confectionery Capers is an awesome find in rural Victoria. It’s not about lollies or chocolates, it’s so much more!! Spinning and twirling, thumbing and hitting, banging and clanging. It’s all about cause and reaction. 178 mechanics to watch and play with.
Car games for kids
We’ve just completed two long road trips with the kids and it’s really important to have some car games for kids. I’m talking I-spy type of games. Games where they don’t have to be hooked up to the iPad with head phone. Not that I’m judging, my son watched the I-pad for a record 9 […]
