Who created the Big Australia Bucket List?

Vicki Garside

Hi There!

My name is Vicki, and after travelling the world & running the award-winning travel blog, MakeTimeToSeeTheWorld over the past 5 years I decided I wanted to explore – and share – more of my own great Aussie backyard with the world.

A Brit who was born to travel, I’ve lived in 8 cities on 4 continents and travelled to over 55 countries, but proudly call Melbourne my home and the Great Ocean Road my first Aussie love (and have done since 2012!)
On my travels I’ve worked for the Mouse at Walt Disney World, ran hotels in the French, Swiss and Austrian Alps, call Spain my second home (my folks live there!) and am a qualified legal practitioner in the State of Victoria and absolute love trivia and quizzes.

I created the Big Australia Bucket List to provide detailed and accurate information from a local’s perspective to help everyone explore this magnificent country – and hopefully help you fall in love with Australia as much as I have over the past 8 years of living here!

Happy exploring!Vicki from Big Australia Bucket List
