Bringing colour into December

December 6, 2020

As I write this from my van it’s raining outside. We’re camped on the edge of a lagoon near Gunbower Island in Victoria and the sky is grey. There’s no sunshine and who knows what the next 24 hours will bring. That’s the unpredictability of nature and, indeed, of life. The heat disappeared an hour … More Bringing colour into December

A Gift of Mindfulness

September 25, 2020

Today, as I celebrate 55 years on this planet, I’m filled with gratitude. I also wonder where on earth the years have gone. Seems like only yesterday I was a wide eyed teenager. I reflect on all the experiences that have made up my journey so far, all the joy and blessings, all the challenges … More A Gift of Mindfulness

A Dubious Detour

June 29, 2020

Have you ever made a decision, feeling somehow unsettled about it? And later realised you had little choice but to go through with it, regardless of the consequences. Our recent camping trip taught us some big life lessons. … More A Dubious Detour

Lost and Found in Autumn

May 26, 2020

It’s the last week of May 2020 and the final days of Autumn here in Australia, a perfect time to reflect on the season before winter barges in. The last three months have seen big shifts and a huge pause in the world. Here in Australia, a tiny speck amid a big wide world battling … More Lost and Found in Autumn

Life Lessons from Animals

April 27, 2020

If only we could live as lightly as animals. Taking what we need and nothing more. They live in sync with nature, can teach us so much and, as pets, bring a world of love and laughter to our lives. Their playful innocence and unconditional love can ground us in todays crazy, uncertain times. This … More Life Lessons from Animals

No Power, No Worries

April 17, 2020

Virtual walking on Phillip Island

April 1, 2020

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

Grey Skies and Lighthouses

March 20, 2020

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

We’re passed this lake dozens of times on the way to the Grampians and never realised how big it was or how much free camping there is along its foreshore. So it was great to finally check it out. Swipe to see the many magical moods of Lake Burrumbeet from sunrise to nightfall.
Our weekend started off with a rescue! Here’s hubby snatching them out of some deep sand, after their RV got stuck near the lake where we camped. Gary and Glenda from Korrumburra became our newest best friends! Helping out fellow travellers ... it’s all part of the adventure. 😎
Let ripples of serenity flow through your day. 💙
After a day relaxing in the river, (swipe to see) nothing beats a great camp roast dinner with the whole family, a night by the fire and a dreamy sky full of stars. Simple pleasures. 🌟
“Life is a highway, I’m gonna ride it, all night long ...” 🎵
Rise, oh wild one. Fly high and free. 🖤💛🦅
