Aloha travellers, today we yarn with Terry and Madeline. I met the lovely couple at Lakelele Ukulele Festival in August 2023. They shared many fab tales of travel and ukulele music but also gave some insight into the town of Lismore following the devastating floods of 2022. When I recorded the episode little did I know that within six months I would be experiencing the impact of devastating flooding in my hometown of Cairns. To all those who are still in ANY recovery process, I send our BIGGEST ALOHA , prayers and best ukulele vibes to you and your community. Please reach out if there is anything we can do at Travellers Ukulele Gig Guide. Thanks you & good luck!

Hear how she chose ukulele as a holiday activity but over time has turned a hobby into a fun-tastic lifestyle.

Aloha travellers, we're off to the sleepy little town of Babinda in far north Queensland. This thriving community was once based around the sugar mill but after it's closure in 2011 the town has re-fashioned itself into a tourist gemstone boasting pristine swimming holes, an awesome bakery and a very Uketastic ukulele club.
