"There's so much information out there but often people aren't discerning. Don't settle for leaking, don't settle for discomfort. It's common but it's not normal." When should someone start seeing a women's health physio? Sure, this isn't a question some women would be afraid to ask, but for those who are worried they've left it "too late", it's one that can weigh heavily on their minds. The short answer, Cooke said, is that it's never too late.

The purpose of the rules was to turn the week leading up to a holiday into a calm and pleasant experience. After some trial and error, I am astonished — nay, dumbfounded! — to report that the rules have actually taken 99 per cent of the stress out of packing.

For full disclosure, given I was unencumbered by my children, I probably would have thought a 10-hour drive was a delightful bit of alone time, so the actual drive absolutely flew by. Where to stay. Callala Beach is a hotel-free zone, which, in my view, lends to its charm. If you want to stay in the area, it's an AirBnb or a holiday rental, which just adds to the relaxed vibe of the place. We stayed at Matilda's on the Beach, which is, as the name suggests, directly on the beach.

Complete with an infinity pool overlooking the water, a kids' pool zone with play equipment and slides, and its own soft play centre on the bottom level of the hotel, you honestly wouldn't need to leave The Fullerton Ocean Park. Except, you would, because it runs shuttles to Ocean Park itself every hour and you won't want to miss out on that either. Sample local dim sum. It wouldn't be a trip to Hong Kong without sinking your teeth (literally) into all its culinary delights.
