As we settle back into Victoria after our epic ten months travelling around Australia, I reflect on our time away and how grateful I am for it all Looking back it’s hard to know where to start so thank goodness for this blog which allowed me to journal our adventures. With so much wow factor … More When the Journey Changes Direction
After leaving the moody blues on the Eyre Peninsula coastline we head inland and begin our adventure in the Gawler Ranges. Our first stop is Wudinna, pronounced Wuddna, as said a truckie on the UHF radio coming into town. It has a nice vibe, there’s a huge statue of The Australian Farmer, a scenic 30km … More Exploring the Gawler Ranges
Once again it feels as though the Universe is guiding us. Soon after we leave Denmark, bushfires rage through and around the area. We’re unaffected. And the day after we visit Wyllie Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park there’s a shark attack not far from the beach we swam at, literally 24 hours earlier. … More From Wave Rock to the South West Coast
From Bunbury we skirt around Perth. It’s still school holidays and everywhere on the southwest coast is busy, so we’ve booked a farm stay at Big River Station in the Margaret River region. It’s a peaceful spot and we spend three relaxing and very enjoyable days there. From there we travel further south to where … More From Bunbury to the Forest Giants
I’ve been keeping a diary for most of my life. On and off I pen musings, memories, what’s happening at the time, places I’ve visited and people I’ve met. I’ve chronicled heartaches, joys and silly stuff I’d have otherwise forgotten. And I’ve often poured out my heart and vented on paper when times were hard. … More Gratitude for the Journey
As we say goodbye to 2021 and this coastal community we’ve lived in for the past two months I reflect on our time here and the year that’s been. Slowing down, choosing to work whilst holidaying and immersing ourselves in this beautiful town has changed the feel of our journey. Slow down and enjoy life. … More Farewell 2021 and Goodbye Kalbarri
It continually amazes me how the Universe brings us what we put out there. When I chose my word of the year back in January, I had no idea how apt it would be and that in December I’d be working as a cleaner at a caravan park in West Australia! What was my word? … More Cleansing, Celebrating and Choosing Love
It was the news that everything wanted and had prayed for and that we eventually woke up to on Wednesday 3rd November. Four year old Cleo had been found, alive and well, after 18 days of being missing in West Australia. It was a post by fellow blogger Ann from Muddling through my Middle Age … More Lost and Found – From darkness to light
The wildflowers in Western Australia have really been showing off this year. There’s been lots of rain so it’s been a bumper year for blooms. It reminds of when I was a 19 year old and on a wet wildflower bus tour in the Margaret River region of WA with a girlfriend. It was supposed … More Wild and Blooming Free
From the dazzling area of Shark Bay and Denham we continue on to the red earth of Kalbarri National Park. It takes about four hours and we base ourselves at Murchison Station. The sight of the wildflowers and mountains as we drive in gives us a taste of what’s to come. “Your life is a … More Colours of the Earth
