It’s been over a month since we returned from our epic trip around Australia, a trip that morphed from three months on the road to ten. Not only did we journey through the centre of Australia and the length of the west coast, but it took me through a bit of an inner journey of … More Changing Course in the Grampians
After leaving the moody blues on the Eyre Peninsula coastline we head inland and begin our adventure in the Gawler Ranges. Our first stop is Wudinna, pronounced Wuddna, as said a truckie on the UHF radio coming into town. It has a nice vibe, there’s a huge statue of The Australian Farmer, a scenic 30km … More Exploring the Gawler Ranges
As we say goodbye to 2021 and this coastal community we’ve lived in for the past two months I reflect on our time here and the year that’s been. Slowing down, choosing to work whilst holidaying and immersing ourselves in this beautiful town has changed the feel of our journey. Slow down and enjoy life. … More Farewell 2021 and Goodbye Kalbarri
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!

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
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?
There’s something about the West coast of Australia that draws you in like a magnet. A warmness that invites you to stay longer. It’s the same in Carnarvon. We’re practically on the most western side of Australia, thousands of kilometres from Victoria, yet I feel so at home here. With a population of just over … More Four Days in Carnarvon
Our first camping trip after lockdown sees us rediscovering the magic of the High Country. It’s there I also find a few lessons from mother nature. … More Remembering the Magic
