Student budget travel: Exploring the Flinders Ranges National Park
South Australia's Flinders Ranges National Park is a haven for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts. Its rugged landscapes, ancient rock formations, and vibrant wildlife make it a dream destination for travelers. And here's the good news: you can explore this incredible region without breaking the bank. My last trip to the Ranges was about this time of the year – after the cold of winter, but before summer comes and the days get too hot for camping.

Fashiontok and fashion magazines would deem Melbourne as the face of the Australian fashion scene. It’s hard to dispute that when every other cool and stylish person that comes up on my For You Page is from Melbourne – Carlton or Fitzroy, specifically.

Recently travelling to Melbourne for a short holiday, I found there was so much to do.
Whale migration
Oh August, I feel like you went by too quickly. The last weeks of winter have always been celebrated with a migration of sorts and this annual retreat has become a tradition. One that always felt like a rebirth, and I will always be grateful to winter’s chill for the darkness that makes fires burn brighter and hotter.
Quick getaway

It’s that time of the semester again – classes are halted for two weeks and we’re all itching to escape the academic life that we have been so privileged to wallow in these past few weeks.
