Travel anxiety is the fear of visiting an unfamiliar place. It can also involve the stress that comes with planning your travels. Even if you have no history of anxiety, the idea of being outside familiar territory can throw you into panic mode. There’s a lot of life affirming stuff on social media these days. There’s also a stack of people leading us to believe they are leading fruitful and happy lives with not a care in the world.

The last time we launched a new site version was 2016 so it was long overdue for a facelift! Due to the significant traffic the site receives these days we’ve opted for a graduated upgrade where we’ll overhaul various sections of the site on a piecemeal basis to reduce the overall disruption and minimise the learning curve for our users. We started with the homepage because it’s the FACE of the website. We’ve gone for a lazy load approach that rapidly speeds up the load time of objects and graphics and improves the user experience. We’ve streamlined element design and standardise functionality, improved phone andRead More →

As reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Queensland has seen approximately 14,000 Australians migrate from interstate in the 2nd & 3rd quarter of 2020 and there is no sign of a slowdown in interstate migration to Queensland. The growth in Queensland residents has created a high demand for homes. Either by owner occupiers or by long-term residential tenants. This has driven average weekly rentals and property prices sky high. Low interest rates and the desire for interstate migrants to work from home in Queensland has fuelled emotive buying tactics which put further pressure on the tight rental market. At the height of the pandemic,Read More →
