Lifes a Terrigal Beach

Just a 1 hour drive north of Sydney, straight up the M1 you will find yourself entering the Central Coast, and a little drive further- Terrigal. It's the perfect location for family picnics, surfing, beach days, food and fun.

The Hot spots... a locals perspective

One of my favourite things about the Coast is the beaches. Everywhere. There's something really calming about being near the Ocean. Every beach is stunning and has their own highlights. It's important to remember that the ocean is unpredictable and having the ability to swim is essential. Always swim between the flags. Always supervise your kids. Most major beaches on the Coast are patrolled, however there are a few secluded ones that are not.

 Terrigal Beach: A super family friendly beach. It is patrolled by life guards during the Summer, and also has a rockpool for the kiddies (currently funding has been approved to upgrade and maintain it).
Parking is easy with the free Multi Story car park located on Wilsons Road. Food isn't an issue, with multiple food venues available. You want fish and chips? There is literally 3 different places to choose from? Pizza? Choose from Pizza Inn, Hungry Wolfs or Crust Pizza. Thai food? Cafes? Restaurants? Ice cream parlours? There is something for everyone.

The Beer Garden located under Crown Plaza has amazing ocean views, an exceptional menu, and is family friendly during the day. Keep in mind it becomes a local night life hot spot on weekends, so underage people will not be permitted in as it gets late.

Fuji Q - Home to the roller coaster world records

Fuji-Q Highland - Home to the roller coaster world records Are you a thrill seeker? Perhaps you'd call yourself an adrenaline junkie? Well if that's how you see yourself, then Fuji Q is a must go when visiting Japan. It is obvious that Mt Fuji is one of the main tourist attractions in Japan, however, people never seem to consider FujiQ.  Why not get more bang for your buck? FujiQ is a theme park situated at the base of Mt Fuji, which means that you can essentially see Mt Fuji, as well as enjoy yourself on the thrilling rides the theme park has to offer.  In my personal experience, the long train ride was well worth it, especially if you have a group of friends to support you during your journey.  Now I'm betting your wondering, what exactly makes Fuji-Q different to any other ordinary theme park?  Fuji-Q is home to the many of the world's record holding roller coasters, as well as two haunted houses which operate all day with highly specialised ac

Disney Sea - Nostalgic for both you and me

Disney Sea - Nostalgic for both you and me It isn't much of a surprise for Disney Sea to be a place of extreme nostalgia for the current generation of teens, and even the older generation of parents in our day and age. With references to Disney favourites such as Mickey Mouse, and perhaps even newer Disney icons such as Indiana Jones, regardless of what age group you are, you're bound to have a blast.  It should be duly noted that an early arrival at Disney Sea is of paramount importance if you want to secure those prized quick pass tickets that allow surpassing of the long and dreaded lines that exist in all major theme parks.  With an amazing light show, as well as delicious chicken and turkey legs, the food and entertainment segment is covered. However, for those that are adrenaline junkies, fear not, because the Toy Story ride is just right for you!  So, what in the world are you waiting for? Take a trip down memory lane, and visit Disney Sea ASAP
