Credit card payment makes Sydney commuting so easy
One of the the biggest joy of my trip to Sydney was the discovery that I could use the credit card to pay for public transportation. There’s no need to buy and top up an Opal card. The contactless credit card works perfectly. Why didn’t they think of this earlier? OK, kudos to Sydney but…

Desaru Coast? Where’s that?
My first thought on hearing about Desaru Coast was “has Desaru changed its name?” It’s been many years since I last went there so perhaps I was a little out of date. Turns out that Desaru Coast is a newly developed part of Desaru. It’s a premium integrated destination with a blend of renowned resorts and…
