4wd at wilbinga

I never thought I'd be one to enjoy four wheel driving, but it seems to have become a fairly regular activity to fill our weekends. We grabbed our friends D & N and made the 70km trip from Perth to Wilbinga to make the most of a sunny Sunday afternoon. 

The majority tracks at Wilbinga are fairly tame, however for safety's sake I'd recommend taking sand flags to let other vehicles know you're around. There's always a great mix of families, young lads in modified barbie jeeps (yeah I went there) and 4WD enthusiasts testing their cars on the more advanced tracks.

We always end up at the beach, and with views like this (in the middle of winter may I add) you can probably see why. We'd planned on taking the BBQ however decided no in favour of a stop at the British Fish and Chip shop in Currambine on the way back home. Massive shout out to my iPhone for filling in for my camera and producing some pretty nice snaps! 

Have you been 4 wheel driving before?

Plug and play with vividwireless

One of the hardest things about moving 1000's of miles from home is missing friends and family, you can no longer pop round your mums house for a cup of tea, or wander to the local pub to meet your old school friends on a sunday afternoon, luckily though we live in the 21st century and it's easier than ever to get online to keep in touch....if you've got the internet!

When we first arrived in Australia it was so hard to decide between internet service providers, as a blogger and expat being online and having a speedy internet connection is so important, we unfortunately aren't in a fibre optic suburb (hurry up Australia!) and struggled to get internet fast enough to Skype home or stream our favourite youtubers so were really excited when Vividwireless got in touch to see if we wanted to trial their unlimited 4G wireless broadband.

Vividwireless have made getting online and staying in touch easier than ever, with their simple 'plug and play' wireless modem. Simply go online to http://www.vividwireless.com.au/coverage to check your address gets coverage, grab a modem online or in store (Harvey Norman and Good Guys both stock them), activate your modem and get surfing!

We unboxed our modem, plugged the power cable in to the wall and were streaming youtube within a few moments. I was a little skeptical at first, surely a 4G modem wouldn't be anywhere near as good as cable internet? It's safe to say we were both pleasantly surprised, we've managed to watch hours of youtube, stream movies on Netflix, Skype home and upload 100's of photos without even the slightest bit of buffering.

Vividwireless initially launched here in Perth in 2010 with WiMax network aiming to provide straightforward pricing, simple internet activation process and easy to understand terms and conditions. In early 2016, Vividwireless expanded its wireless internet services using LTE technologyto Australia’s five capital cities; Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Plans start at just $29 per month for 10GB through to unlimited for $89 a month (fair usage applies).

I am honestly so happy to have found Vividwireless, I never would have believed that the plug and play modem would have provided us with such a stable, high speed internet connection but it has!

Have you tried Vividwireless before?
