Hello and welcome to coffee, G & T, cuppa tea or hot cocoa. I’m having a G & T and happy to share along with you what’s been happening in my week. Before we crack on with our week’s let me say that once again I’m joining others to share our week on Natalie’s blog…
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…
This weekend coffee catch up is a new kind of post for me but I like the idea it will be informal and off-the-cuff. So, pour your self a cup of your favourite brew and let’s get into it. If we were having coffee I’d offer to share my custard-cream-filled apple turnover from the Dongara…
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…
The outback desert regions have a way of reminding us of our in/significance in the role of intriguing land formations. The sheer size and solitude are eerie and today a soft breeze shushed through these bizarre rock formations adding to the sense of isolation. Handing us the route map, the park would like walkers to…
Today I’m running the red light on the challenge guidelines by writing about the Barossa. I figure the title has the letter “V” in it so it counts. Come to think about it, I reckon it’s the orange I ran which must make it nearly legal. You’re with me on that, I can tell. Thank…
Day Eighteen of the 2019 A-Z Challenge in which I am participating during the month of April. The challenge is to post six days a week, Sunday respite or catching up with other participants and their posts. Each of the twenty-six days represents a letter of the alphabet and while each post stands alone they…
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…
