Ahh, to be walking along a windswept beach right now. Smelling the sea air, watching the waves crash on the shore, the continual ebb and flow of the tides a certainty of life. It makes me breath easier just remembering. I wrote this post more than three months ago. I have no idea why I … More Virtual walking on Phillip Island
What a time. The world is changing before our very eyes. So much global uncertainty, so many people are bunkering down and becoming isolated. So it’s become even more important to stay connected. Now more than ever we have the wonderful gift of being able to connect with people all over the world through our … More Grey Skies and Lighthouses
What a welcome. We’d just checked in when we spotted him. He wasn’t asleep or high or chewing on leaves. He was alert and a real cutie. And then he came down, as though to greet us. Welcome to Kennett River. What a perfect way to begin the final night of our Great Ocean Road … More A Koala Convention

On the Australia Day long weekend we travel back to the tiny township of Lake Tyers in East Gippsland, post fires, to help support small businesses and towns evacuated barely a month ago. … More Going back to Lake Tyers
It was all so peaceful, except for the raucous five o’clock wake up call. But that’s life on the Murray, where we were camped last weekend. The river near Cobram is one of our favourite camping spots with wide sandy stretches of riverside beaches, surrounded by the peace of nature. Oh, and those bloody noisy … More Seven of the best Free Camps in Victoria
It was the phone call that changed the course of our holiday. I rang the caravan park a week before Christmas, by chance someone had just cancelled their camp site. It was for the exact five days we wanted. Otherwise we would have gone back to Corryong in the High Country, one of many fire … More Innes National Park
