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
Time is flying by so fast lately. The days, weeks and months feel like they’re blurring into one.

We stop for the night at the … More From the Bungles to Broome
I love this sign that greeted us at the Purnulu National Park Visitor Centre. “How lucky are you to be sleeping under a million stars instead of five.” Lucky indeed! It seems that wherever we go on this trip the Universe has our back. Here in Purnulu the night skies are clear and the stars … More Our Bungle Bungle Adventure
We farewell Wyndham and head towards Kununurra, booking a caravan site at Hidden Valley along the way. We book for one night but as soon as we arrive I know we’ll stay longer. The park is picturesque and backs onto the stunning Mirima National Park, which looks like a mini version of the Bungles Bungles. … More From Kununurra to Lake Argyle
