Minimal Impact Camping and Cycling Routes
April 25, 2019
It was officially Earth Day last Monday. Though I’m not usually a big fan of one-off name days, it was an important reminder to respect and appreciate our beautiful planet. Every day. To me camping is one of the best ways to do this. It’s a minimalist lifestyle, a fantastic way to travel and the … More Minimal Impact Camping and Cycling Routes

Blue Lotus Love
February 14, 2019
“The Earth laughs in flowers.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson If that’s true then the flowers at the Blue Lotus Water Garden in Yarra Junction must be the happiest on the planet. Located just off the Warburton highway, barely an hour from home, I found a glorious landscape. Lakes and ponds, filled with thousands of water lilies … More Blue Lotus Love
Dialogue in the Dark
February 9, 2019
Who would have thought walking round in the dark for an hour with nothing but a white cane would be so challenging, enlightening and fun.
