Queen of Parks

I wonder if there are parks in countries – other than those once colonised by England that have botanic gardens named for a queen? I’m thinking probably not but maybe to marka visit from her royal highness, be it either Victoria or Elizabeth. Mind you I’m not sure if world travel was a thing in…

Phillip Island

27th November 2018 For a few days we were camped at the small but quiet Bass Valley campground just a short drive to the many “country” attractions in the State of Victoria. We were marking time until we could check into the caravan park in Melbourne where we were to catch up with family and…

My father and I were avid readers who enjoyed the library’s hushed environment that evoked curiosity and learning. Sturdy shelves…

Kingston SE

5th February 2019 Sometimes you keep moving, like we’d been moving on from one camp spot to the next for five weeks as we meandered the coastline of South Australia. This wasn’t how we’d planned our trip as we’d decided to slow things down by spending at least four/five nights at each camp. But the…

Jurgens Sungazer

Today’s post is a slight departure from the places through which we’ve travelled during our retirement trip around Australia. Instead I wanted to tell you about our “home” on the road: The Coddiwomple. Not so much the story of how we came to own it but rather how well it has served us as a…
