It looks like an unremarkable pile of dirt but it's hiding secrets that have remained buried for hundreds of millions of years.

5 days ago | travel.nine.com.au | Kristine Tarbert

As a seasoned traveller, I've been on many international flights over the years and have always loved watching the inflight map to see how we're getting from A to B.

Western Australia travel: 'WA is a million times better than the East Coast, and I'm sick of hearing otherwise'

1 week ago | travel.nine.com.au | Jemima Skelley

OPINION - In life, the best things are overlooked in favour of flashier, louder options. That's exactly how I feel about Western Australia.
