Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

The Beauty That Surrounds Brisbane

By Kathy Smith

Just outside of Brisbane there are various attractions for you to enjoy, located in Brisbane Hinterlands. Take a twenty minute trip to D'Aguilar Range and enjoy this wonderful subtropical haven. From there you can travel to the Valley of the Lakes and South Burnett, where you will come into contact with diverse crops, old fashioned villages and the opportunity to encounter native animals.

Bunya Mountains: This is a region that is full of waterfalls, king parrots and what remains of the bunya pine. Enjoy a 4 kilometre scenic route, from the Dandabah camp area Pine Gorge lookout.

South Burnett: At South Burnett yo can visit historic timber towns in Blackbutt or Yarraman or visit the wineries along the Barambah wine trails.

Booubyjan Homestead: Located near Goomeri, by two Irish brothers, the Clements, in 1847. They originally populated the land with sheep, and eventually cattle. They are open daily for tours, that give you a look into the early years of Queensland's settlers.

Brisbane Forest Park: This is a unique location to visit, and offers mountain streams, waterfalls, forests, wildlife and rainforests. There are many walking trails at Mt. Glorious. From there you can travel about 10km further to arrive at Lake Wivenhoe lookout, which offers one of the most stunning views of Lake Wivenhoe.

The Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre in Brisbane Forest Park features a freshwater creek environment populated with water dragons, frogs, platypuses, pythons and fish. The Australian Woolshed, just past Samford re-creates life on sheep station .Shearing demonstrations, ram shows and cattle-dog demonstrations are staged daily, while native animals roam freely around the property.

Daisy Hill State Forest is a pocket of eucalypt forest and acacia scrub 25 kilometers south of Brisbane where visitors can scan the canopy for koalas from a treetop tower. The Daisy Hill Koala Center in the central picnic area has information about koalas and their habitats.
