The Big Merino! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Located 196 km south-west of Sydney via the M5 Motorway and Hume Freeway, Goulburn is a town with lots of historical importance. The Big Merino is a giant sized replica which stands at 15.2 m high, 18 m long and weighs 98 tonnes, The Big Merino pays homage to the Merino ram and the famous Australian merino wool. An idea originally conceived by brothers Attila and Louis Mokany, he is an impressive life-like model of Rambo, a stud Ram from a local property, “Bullamallita”. There is also a small exhibition about the 200 year history of wool displayed under the structure and you can also climb to the top and take a view of Goulburn through Rambo’s eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read more about our road trip to Sydney; link in bio.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #visitgoulburn #aussietowns #thebigmerino #merinowool #australianwool #goulburn @destination_nsw #ilovesydney @visitnsw #NewSouthWales @sydney #sydneyoperahouse #roadtrip #travellingwithkids #travelwanderlust #familytravel #visitaustralia #planet_locations #melbourneblogger #igersmelbourne #ozphotos #australiaphotography #sydney_insta #aussie_captures #sydneymoments #exploreaustralia #wanderaustralia #mynikonlife

Getting runway ready! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We had lots of fun, laughter and crazy photo sessions @tussaudssydney. Located at Darling Harbour, this is a smaller wax museum than the one at London but an absolute fun space to spend a day with the whole family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The museum is divided into sections; for eg: the sports section features models of famous sportsmen, the music section features famous artists/musicians etc…. There are many sections to walk through and you can spend as little or as much time based on your interests. Also, a lot of attention and emphasis has been placed on choosing celebrities or famous personalities who are more popular in Australia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you been to any Madame Tussauds museum before? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #TussaudsSydney #waxmuseum @destination_nsw #familyfun #ilovesydney #familytravel @visitnsw #roadtrip #NewSouthWales #schoolholidays #travellingwithkids #mynikonlife #travelwanderlust #darlingharbour #visitaustralia #melbourneblogger #igersaustralia #aussie_captures #sydney_insta #sydneymoments #tourismaustralia

No matter the angle/perspective/direction.....the @sydneyoperahouse is a spectacular sight to behold. But there's so much more you can learn about this architectural wonder when you take a guided tour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We had an excellent guide who was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Opera House; she offered an in depth understanding of its history and how this iconic structure was finally completed after a tumultuous journey. We had access to the performance arenas, theatres and insights about unique architectural details that we might otherwise have never known about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Truly a world wonder..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #sydneyoperahouse @destination_nsw #ilovesydney @visitnsw #NewSouthWales @sydney #sydneyoperahouse #roadtrip #travellingwithkids #travelwanderlust #familytravel #visitaustralia #planet_locations #melbourneblogger #igersmelbourne #ozphotos #australiaphotography #sydney_insta #aussie_captures #sydneymoments #exploreaustralia #wanderaustralia #mynikonlife

Ever since I came across the 'East Indian Bottle Masala' on @mariagorettiz cooking channel, it has become a staple blend in my spice cupboard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Apart from using it to season a variety of curries, I also use it to make a special marinade for fried fish. Like this recipe, where steaks of Trevally was marinated using this special spice blend and then shallow fried till crusty outside but soft and juicy inside.

The Dogman Sculpture by world renowned artists, Gillie and Marc at St. Collins Lane. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Installed in 2018, but I got to see this massive bronze statue only about a month ago. The artists, Gillie and Marc, created this sculpture in honour of the 'Year of the Dog'. Apparently the Chinese word for apple is 'ping' which also happens to be the word for peace. Dogs are also known for harmonious relationships with humans from all walks of life, without any kind of discrimination in the name of sex, religion, class or race. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So the Dogman holding the apple stands for harmony, love and togetherness, to spread the message of diversity and acceptance to make a better world happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you seen this sculpture before? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #traveleverywherewithlove #dogmansculpture #melbourneart #melbournetosee #stcollinslane #gillieandmarc @cityofmelbourne #dogmanwithapple #visitmelbourne #melbourneblogger #igersaustralia #melbmoment #wanderaustralia #aussie_captures #mynikonlife

Pasta salads are amazing during the warmer months, whether it's served as a side or as the main meal. Today, I used mini macaroni tossed with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, cashewnuts, basil, parsley, garlic, chilli and a simple olive oil vinaigrette. So good!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your favourite way to make pasta salads? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #summerfood #mynikonlife #pastarecipes #melbournefoodie #saladrecipes #healthychoices #meatlessmonday #foodphotographer #foodstyling #eeeeeats #homemadefood #feedfeed #igersmelbourne #lunchideas #eatrainbow #thewayweeat #foodblogfeed #lunchboxideas #bhgfood #theweekoninstagram #vegetarianrecipes
