2020 Clarity
January 2, 2020
Happy new year everyone! I’m writing this from our Journey, camped on the beautiful Yorke Peninsula on the South Australian coastline. It’s the first day of a new year and a new decade and (typing this one fingered, on my phone) I wanted to wish you all a beautiful new year, one of joy, peace … More 2020 Clarity
Birds need Extra Water
January 15, 2019
“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think”. Rumi Except that the birds aren’t singing very loudly today. There’s a heat wave moving across Australia this week. As I sit down to write this post and share a long overdue book review, it’s a sweltering 41°C outside. The trees … More Birds need Extra Water
Date night at the Prom
July 31, 2018
Some camp spots are worth revisiting, more than once. I think Yanakie, on the doorstep of Wilsons Promontory National Park, takes the record for the amount of times we’ve been back in two years. Last weekend was trip number five, an impromptu overnighter and a prelude to hubby’s birthday this Friday. It’s a special place … More Date night at the Prom
Prolific cheeky Birdlife
April 22, 2018
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
Lessons from a Bird
October 22, 2017
Going after our dreams isn’t always smooth sailing, but then again, nothing worthwhile ever is. Before you can fly, you have to learn how to walk. When we set our mind on something it can feel exhilarating. However, when doubters come and question our dreams it can bring us down with a thump. They don’t … More Lessons from a Bird
It’s not Unusual
June 15, 2017
We’ve seen some strange things on our travels. I guess that’s what makes travelling in Australia so interesting and so much fun. It’s not often you see kinky art in country paddocks but at Mt Cole State Park these two are permanently intertwined. This is in the same paddock. Makes you wonder what the artist … More It’s not Unusual
Whatever the Weather
June 9, 2017
How’s the weather in your neck of the woods? Such a typical conversation starter, isn’t it? Secondary maybe to “how are you?”. Though I’ve often thought when people are in a rush, they don’t really want to know how we are. Not really, unlike the weather.
Fierce Creatures
September 28, 2016
Australia has a reputation for having some of the fiercest creatures in the world. We have deadly snakes, stingers and the odd croc up north, but sometimes things aren’t always as they seem. What can appear downright scary on the surface can be pretty harmless, if we’re game to look closer. Still, I have to … More Fierce Creatures
Travel theme: Pairs
July 26, 2016
Life is so much more fun in pairs. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy time alone, which is fortunate as hubby’s interstate for work again. I’ve kept myself busy, especially with a four legged energetic Lamborghini in the family. But it’s always better when he’s around, sharing the highs and lows, the good days … More Travel theme: Pairs
