Little Beach, east of Albany, punches well above its weight. As a devote beach goer, from a very youthful six months of age, I pride myself on being a connoisseur of sandy shores and surf breaks. I’ll even admit (reluctantly) to being biased and have always considered Queensland beaches to be the best in the Continue reading

Remembering the Anzacs
Sunrise in Albany as the Last Post faded.
Poultry poem… :-)
Down Margaret River’s main street The ducks are quick on their feet There’s a sign up for all Traffic slows to a crawl So for breakfast the birds can all meet
Cow of a day
We watched the boys tow surfing on solid three meter waves off Prevelly Beach last night. I was very jealous that I’m no longer fit enough and, never was good enough, to be out the back surfing with them. The sunset was magnificent, but the rain clouds were rising in the east. We woke to Continue reading
Margaret River – so much more than a river…
Thanks to my friend, Simone, who pointed out that my photo of Margaret River was in fact incorrect as it showed a beach… Typical… I’d loosely grouped the lovely beaches west of Margaret River into one area, but of course they all have different names! We had a fabulous day exploring the Caves Scenic drive Continue reading
Red Bull Rampage
Wow what a day! Sunburnt, with a stiff neck, sore feet and a silly grin we watched the Red Bull Air Race team carve up the skies over Perth. I think the helo pilot should have got first prize for his tireless efforts – he flew every single run!! The weather was superb, the organisation Continue reading
When the road takes a different turning…
Sometimes the fork in the road is imposed rather than selected. In this case it’s Mother Nature doing the imposing… Yesterday we were due to fly to Singapore then on to Manchester in the UK. Instead, we turned left out of Cairns and headed to Ayers Rock and Perth. I couldn’t help but compare the Continue reading
Blondes have more funds?
According to Vivien Cuttle not only do blondes have more fun, but they also take home the loot as well! Her article for ABC news at http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/09/2868901.htm highlights the roots of the matter. Researchers at QUT sampled 13,000 women and deduced that the only thing separating the ‘haves’ from the ‘wannebes’ was the colour of Continue reading
Fiona’s Family Farm
Fiona Palmer’s first novel, The Family Farm, has been a big hit since its release in July 2009. She’s currently working on her second novel and has taken time out from her busy life to visit my blog. So welcome, Fiona! Firstly, I must thank Helene for the opportunity to guest blog on her site. Continue reading
Golden flashes of sun
There’s something so joyous in an animated discussion between a pair of sunbirds that I have to smile. These tiny northern-dwelling honey-eaters are happiest nesting as close to humans as they can reasonably manage – including building their homes hanging off the centre piece of a wind-chime… How’s that for thrill seeking? Like so many Continue reading
