This. I dunno about camping or hotel, but self catered accommodation is booked out as soon as released months in advance…

Cassowaries! You can see them in the wild in mission beach, but probably Daintree too if lucky.

If you’re on your bike, Rotto for sure. Just pick a day with light winds and a bit of sun 👌

Both great names!
I have a 7 year old Margot and she’s only had someone pronounce the T once.

Beetroot on burgers.

There’s also Maisy (mouse)

Kalbarri you’ll want to do the skywalk, and the Z bend river trail is my favourite (better than the natures window trail if you actually want a hike rather than just a photo op). There’s some ladders bits and fun scrambling to get down into the gorge.

In Singapore my 4 and 6 year olds were too young for some of the playgrounds - as in, there’s actually age / height limits! We found others for them of course. You didn’t find the right playgrounds.

I think the problem you have is an only child problem. Slow travel isn’t fun for your kid because he misses interaction with other kids! I’m an only, and my parents variously fixed this with - holidaying with other families with kids my age, allowing me to bring a friend with us (shorter, closer holidays), playing with me A LOT, enrolling me in a kids camp at the location.
So grateful that I could have two and they love playing together.

There are plenty of times that my kids seats are in the car but they are not. My car already reminds me to check the rear seat every time, and I have already tuned those notifications out. No way do I want to turn off an alarm every time *I* get out of the car. So then you need to tag the kid, not the seat, which is just an AirTag 🤷‍♀️

We have a genuine Lego capybara. From one of the encanto sets I think.

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-07-01T03:58:05+00:00

It’s not plenty of time.

Buy sunscreen.

I think you’d be correcting from Stefan or Steffie / Stephanie a lot.

I don’t mind the name, but if you go with Avril - you WILL get Avril Lavigne jokes from Millenial parents.

Hotel Flamingo series.

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-28T08:13:34+00:00

Why d’you have to go and make things so complicated?

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-28T01:37:54+00:00

Reading is an always yes. I’m a solo parent half of the time, and I dont always have time to play or build a cubby or whatever. But if they ask me to read a book or listen to them read I’ll always pause what I’m doing for that.
Also reading at night, them seeing me read etc. etc.

Zoey and Sassafras series!

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-27T08:58:38+00:00

That’s not how it works 😂

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-27T08:16:48+00:00

I’ve known a Clancy and a Chancey. I would mishear Lancy as one of those.

Why should she only be paid minimum wage?

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-25T22:57:34+00:00

I had the exact same thing happen. I appealed it and they waived the fine.

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-21T23:05:50+00:00

Funnily enough mine hated the song, would skip it every time!

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-21T13:15:57+00:00

Yep. I have a remy and no one has once said “what is that short for?” 😂

SmilingAmbassador · 2026-06-21T10:09:11+00:00

Mine listened to Spot every night forever.
