“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk”. Paul Klee. I love that idea, that a line can go anywhere. That it can start from nothing and become something significant, that it can be both a journey and a destination. That line can go from Point A to Point B with purpose or … More Story-lines in the High Country
Why do seagulls live by the sea? Because if they lived by the bay they’d be a bagel! Sorry, I know that’s pretty corny but it reminded me of some cheeky seagulls we met on a recent trip. They were everywhere. Come to think of it I seem to be attracting a lot of birdlife … More Prolific cheeky Birdlife
How is it that at this late stage in life I feel I’m finally awakening? Something seems to have shifted this year. It’s like everything that’s happened has lead me to this point where each day feels open, vulnerable, expansive and new.

Why did The Sound of Music come to mind when I read this prompt? It was mum’s favourite movie, cheesy, corny and the songs so annoyingly catchy. However, I have to admit, as a wide eyed girl, I secretly loved it. Don’t worry, I’m not going to break into a rendition of My Favourite Things. … More My Favourite Place
What is it about endless horizons, wide open roads and big skies that feeds the soul?

Yesterday I returned from my overnight camping trip, feeling rejuvenated and utterly at peace. Whilst there was no blazing campfire, as it was hot, windy and a ‘total fire ban’, I returned home to find a virtual fire burning within this sphere.
So here I am tonight, camped on the banks of the Goulburn River at BlueGums Riverside Park, about an hour and a half from home.
