We love this sort of holiday....

The story started in Wagga Wagga and made headlines around the world. It involved a butcher, a baronetcy — perhaps a few lies along the way — and a trial that went on for years.

We're going deep on the Tichborne Claimant story this June and we'd love you to join us.

Family History Holidays is hosting its first Hands-on-History Experiences event in Wagga Wagga on 12-13 June 2026, featuring guest family historian Brad Argent.

There are two ways to be part of it:

📆 Friday 12 June: The Workshop.
A half-day session at the Museum of the Riverina for local heritage groups and history lovers. From $30.

📆 Saturday 13 June: The Discovery Day.
A full private day of curated experiences, local experts and good food. Includes two nights’ accommodation at The Houston. $500 per person (twin share).

No Wagga connection? No problem. Curiosity is the only requirement.

Travel to UK

If you visit the UK for less than 6 months as a tourist or to transit, you will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
If you plan to stay for longer than 6 months or for reasons other than tourism, you will likely need a visa. Consult the UK Home Office for the latest rules.
Dual Australian-British and Australian-Irish citizens need a valid British or Irish passport or certificate of entitlement in another valid passport to enter the UK.
As a temporary measure, carriers (such as airlines and ferry companies) may accept certain alternative documentation to enable Australian-British citizens without a valid British passport to travel to the UK. For more details check this page

Three days in During Covid I was able to work a vintage and started the journey of all things wine. While studying I was drawn to this region. Last year a visit confirmed my attraction. Back again in has again been an immersion of walking in the vines .tourism - let us create an itinerary for you.

As a one person business (so to speak - there are many great people behind the scenes but only moi who books the travel ) last year I conducted an experiment to combine working and traveling - essentially working remotely which means the working day is 1pm - 8pm EST and in my destinations 5am - 11 am - This allows time to experience new places, learn new languages, engage in new cultures and for me take a hike. 2024 has arrived. Day 1 - small towns in 🇫🇷.
