We stayed longer than we’d planned to. We’d booked in at Horseshoe Bay for three nights, followed by a two week house sit organised for the school holidays. We hadn’t counted on the car hassles that kept us here another full week. But who could complain when this is the backdrop. The photo above was … More The Best of Bowen
Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude. “ A.A Milne I bought myself a gift back in October and today I finally opened it! My newest Gratitude Journal for 2023. Inside are pages of inspiration, uplifting quotes and astrological moon charts. And … More A Gift of Gratitude
It was our first ever home stay. I registered with Mindahome a couple of months ago and this was our first “assignment”: a week of looking after a place and pets: one dog, two rabbits and some chickens. I felt suitably qualified to care for them as I’ve had all of the above and more, … More Our First West Australian Home Stay
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
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
Time is flying by so fast lately. The days, weeks and months feel like they’re blurring into one. It’s hard to believe we’re half way through October and it’s been over three months since we left Melbourne for our big road trip. Every day this journey of ours feels more and more like an odyssey. … More What’s so Special about Shark Bay?
“A birthday is just the first day of another 365 journey around the sun.” And so our road trip continues as I celebrate my birthday and give thanks for all the blessings in my life, big and small. We’re currently on the Ningaloo/Coral Coastline of West Australia where you’ll find some of Australia’s greatest marine … More Big Blessings and Small Joys on the Coral Coast
We spent five days here and even though we only scratched its surface I feel as though we uncovered a fair bit of what makes Kakadu so special. Kakadu National Park is under three hours from Darwin, it’s at the top of Australia. At 20,000 square kilometres the world heritage listed Kakadu is HUGE. Here … More Five Days and Five Reasons to love Kakadu
From the oasis of Bitter Springs and Mataranka we continued north … but not very far. Our next stop is Katherine, just an hour away. We’ve already become familiar with the town due to my recent phone dramas but this time we’re staying for a couple of days. It’s a hot one again so after … More From Katherine Gorge to Edith Falls
A fresh start, a clean slate … a brighter tomorrow is never too late for anyone. I hope your year’s started well. My first days of 2021 were spent at a tiny place called Bealiba, in the goldfields region of Victoria. Years ago miners flocked to this area to find their fortune. Today fossickers still … More Starting Fresh in 2021
