 Dutch Connection
The creators of australia exposed are of Dutch origin so there is a nice aussie - dutch connection when it comes to exchanging ideas when we talk about trends, fashion and anything else interesting.
One of our favorite connections is with Constance Hage, founder of shoppen blogo.
This Dutch blog site has an overwhelming following and has grown to be one of the largest blog sites in the Netherlands.
Constance is a larger than life personality and has a talent for exposing the latest trends and pin pointing what people are interested in,a self confessed shopaholic and stewardess have proven to be the perfect ingredients for success, if you speak dutch, a must visit to discover what makes people tick in Europe.

Australia is a naturally beautiful place,magnificent scenery is available almost everywhere you can look, from its mesmerizing ever changing skies, sunsets and sunrises, to its wildflowers, animals, beaches, rainforests, mountains, deserts and even snow fields.
Australia is also home of a vast range of gorgeous islands, from the largest sand islands in the world to desolate coral reef atols.
Because of the sheer magnitude and vastness of the country, a life time of exploring might not be enough to see everything this country has to offer

Coodgie Mudlo Island off the coast of Brisbane is a tiny little Island you can walk around in 30 minutes, its a gorgeous 10 minute ferry ride of the mainland and although the island is tiny, it has a lot of features that are outstanding. 
The first thing to notice is that the Island has a big red rock, the story goes that the Aboriginal population in the old days used to collect the ochre from the Island to be used as paint up and bark paintings.
The Island also features coloured rocks embedded in the beach sand and great mangrove trees that have been eroded away from the salt water and left as bright white branches on the beach, one of our favorite places to visit because of its photogenic nature.
