15th November 2020 How is it that when we were at work, days droned into weeks, months and years, yet in retirement, time passes so I can’t believe it has been a fortnight since our last coffee catch up? Are you well? How are you managing the seasonal changes? If we were having coffee I…
Another beautiful morning in Airlie Beach, home for the past week. We flagged our original plan for a two-week stay as the midges (small biting insects) were dreadful, and each night we were chased indoors well before 6:30pm. Not a fun way to spend the balmy evenings in the Whitsundays. Nevermind, we packed a lot…
Welcome to this week’s coffee catch up. It’s an evening cuppa, after another full day and while Basil watches motorbike racing, I’m outside listening to the sounds of campers settling into their evenings. Night creatures are about and birds still chatter. It’s been a warm day in Kununurra, Western Australia but it has cooled off…
It wasn’t a day for hiking one of the trails in the Lesueur National Park but we drove the 18km loop to see the early showing of wildflowers. The National Park was named for Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, a natural history artist aboard the Naturaliste on an 1801 expedition. The French Government commissioned the sister ships, Naturaliste…
With more than 100 campgrounds in National Parks, Western Australia (WA) offers plenty in the way of bush and remote camping experiences. Where we are at the Milligan Island Camping Node, north of Green Head is one of the best we’ve been to, and within a few hundred metres of the warm waters of the…
Morven with a population of 250 people is an Outback Queensland town where we spent a few sleepy days camped at the Morven Recreation Grounds. That was in 2018 on the start of our road trip to see Australia. A lot has happened since those lazy days and I am again grateful for diary entries…
Since 2014, New Year’s Day is when I print the digital journal entries for the previous twelve months and then set about binding them into a book. It is a labour of love and one I enjoy spending the day doing. It is as much a time to dip into the previous year’s entries and…
Esperance. The beaches. The Great Ocean Drive. The vibe. The cafes and the festivals. We heard so much about this town and the abundance of beautiful places to visit. From endless beaches along a pristine coastline with white sands and crystal clear turquoise waters, Esperance would seem to have it all. And it has. But…
Ceduna, on the far west coast of South Australia, is a far cry from the bustle of Adelaide. With its focus on a fishing industry and its slow-paced country vibe, it was the perfect stopover before we crossed the Nullarbor. We used it as a base to restock the pantry, spend some downtime and ensure…
Adelaide at this time of year is magical. It is probably magical any time of the year. But February is when we have visited in the past and here we are again. It’s the smooth and swanky architecture. The fresh and fruitiness of the city markets. The artsy scene that happens year round. The friendly…
