I’m a wonder lusting woman, a musician, a freelance travel writer and magazine columnist. Utterly passionate about travel and life and turning the ordinary moments into the extraordinary. My motto is “just do it”.
As our road trip continues from the heart of Australia to further north the days are getting longer and the nights warmer. From the magic of Uluru we continued into Alice Springs for two days of catching up; washing the car and van, restocking, writing articles, vehicle maintenance, washing and routine stuff that’s part of … More From Devils Marbles to Mataranka
From the moment we started our current big trip I’ve felt a sense of heart centred connection, a feeling that somehow, despite having virtually no plans, we’re being guided to exactly where we’re meant to be. And so our journey has continued. We finished the epic Oodnadatta track (which I’ve yet to write about but … More Heart Centred at Uluru
“Life isn’t about the destination. It’s about all the wild stuff that happens along the way.” That couldn’t be more true for me at the moment. We’re currently on a road trip, Doug and I. And it’s a big one. We left Melbourne a week ago, on Friday 3 July for Mildura, staying by the … More Closing Gates and Crossing Borders

Walhalla, the picturesque gold mining town we camped at barely two months ago, copped a battering, like many places. The normally sedate Stringers Creek turned … More Wind Blown and Wild
Here in Victoria where I live, on the edge of leafy outer Melbourne, our lockdown has been extended for yet another week. That’s the fourth time this past year. I’ve lost track of the number of days. So, I’ve been out walking again. To be honest I’ve never walked as much as I have in … More Those We Meet on the Journey
It’s hard to believe we’re almost half way through the year. Time is flying by so fast. Looking back at the last three months of Autumn, it all feels like a bit of a blur. So, what do we do when life gets blurry? We adjust our focus. March began with family changes and challenges, … More Autumn Highlights
This time last year I embarked on Mindful in May, a month long program of practising daily meditation and mindful awareness. It was timely and apt as the whole world slowed down in response to the pandemic of fear that swept the globe. Amongst it all, sprang the start of a different kind of journey … More A Mindful Journey into Love
We visit the Royal Mail Hotel at Dunkeld recently and discover for ourselves what all the hype is about. … More A Royal Meal at Dunkeld
We’ve recently returned from a long weekend at the tip of the Southern Grampians. Our destination was past Dunkeld, near Balmoral, at the Rocklands Reservoir, a huge water catchment area that supplies water to the Grampians and Wimmera area. And, as it’s often the case with us, adventure followed. We spent four cool, crazy, culinary, … More Reflections at Rocklands
A weekend camp along the Murray brings more than we bargain for with an unexpected guest, a cheeky drop in visitor and some surprising art nearby. … More A Masterpiece on the Murray
