You know what they say about fisherman – the size of the fish grows in the telling… I’m over at Cathryn Hein’s fabulous Friday Feast waxing lyrical about Capt G’s endeavours on our recent sailing trip from Brisbane to Cairns. I’m even prepared to share a couple of my sure fire recipes so drop by Continue reading

The Marion Centre
Yesterday was the final day of my South Australia tour and it didn’t get off to the most seamless of starts when our flight from Mt Gambier was delayed by almost 2 hours… One of the issues for regional flying is always going to be availability of spare parts and engineers when something goes wrong Continue reading
Mitcham Library then off to The Hub
With the temperature at a balmy 12 degrees I had a lovely walk around Adelaide’s CBD this morning, drinking in the autumn colours – so very different to Cairns! Today we headed to Mitcham Library where Wendy and her enthusiastic team had rounded up another wonderful audience for me. Thanks also to Wendy from ‘Booked Continue reading
Seppeltsfield
I’ve never been to the Barossa Valley so today was already set to be special. I’d googled Seppeltsfield Winery and thought it looked rather swish, but the photos don’t do it justice. It’s the oldest winery in the Barossa and its heritage shows in the magnificent buildings, stately old trees and wonderful aged oak barrels. Continue reading
Knowledge in Gosnells
Once I got over the shock of 3 degrees on the temperature gauge the walk to the Green House was an invigorating start to the day. Drop by the website for the Green House and check out the time lapse video of the restaurant’s construction. It is truly unique with delicious food and a quirky Continue reading
Ellenbrook
The drive from Bunbury to Ellenbrook took a little longer than planned this morning with a car and a truck having a nasty altercation on the highway causing a major disruption. Then, just when we thought we’d make it on time despite the delay, a runaway trailer from a B-Double took out some traffic lights. Continue reading
The sun shone on Bunbury and Eaton
Despite the rain pelting down we left Perth under a double rainbow – an auspicious start which delivered on its promise. The audience at Bunbury Library were lovely and asked some excellent questions. Thanks to Debra and her team for hosting the event. It was great to meet you all. I did venture out for a Continue reading
Not even fog could stop us getting to Kalamunda Library!
After a flying visit to see Mum before I left Brisbane we got to the airport to discover fog in Sydney was playing havoc with airline schedules. Instead of arriving in Perth with plenty of time to check into the hotel and enjoy Perth’s ambience Ali, my publicist from Get Reading Australia for this leg Continue reading
Warwick, Chermside now onto Perth!
It’s been a while since I’ve visited Warwick, but driving up through Cunningham’s Gap, with the rain coming down and lines of large trucks groaning under their load as they laboured up the incline, brought back many memories. As we crested the hill approaching Warwick and several churches poked their spires up through the trees Continue reading
Get Reading in Caloundra and Redcliffe
I started the day in a rainy Cairns and finished in a chilly Brisbane. Along the way I chatted with readers, writers and an old friend in Caloundra and Redcliffe. Thanks to Belinda from Get Reading I was on time and on track – nothing more a pilot could ask for! Thanks to Simone and Continue reading
