There’s something very engaging about small children intent on their artwork. A tongue sticking out of the corner of a mouth, the furrowed forehead of concentration, the tunnel vision required to get that curved line just right. So absorbed are they, you can speak to them and they don’t hear you. It’s not that they Continue reading

And our holidays are over…
Back to work… After a wonderful holiday it’s always a touch hard to get motivated and this time was no exception. Spending so much time away from home with work meant I treasured the four weeks of having GW all to myself! I’m back in Sydney now and I have one final story from holidays Continue reading
Bikers Descend on Darwin
This should be titled ‘The people you meet on the road’! We went all the way to Darwin to have catch-up sunset drinks with Ray and Owen. They’ve spent the last week, along with 300 other bikers (as opposed to bikies…), riding from Brisbane to Darwin as part of a Ulysses Long Ride, raising funds Continue reading

Over the last couple of days I’ve been watching the beautiful stingrays swimming along the beach. They look like black velvet as they Continue reading
Tourist tames terrifying wild animal

These engaging little marsupials are everywhere – including this one in our shower. We figured it was thirsty so GW put down a bowl of water. Five minutes and Continue reading
Moo to you too!!
Dig deep for the truth
Ok, I knew there were great wines in Margaret River – I’ve tasted a few… I’d heard about the awesome surf and now have to agree that it’s at least as good as Queensland’s Gold and Sunshine coast (maybe better?) But nowhere had I read anything about the caves! And I’m talking about the limestone variety not Continue reading
Definition of Perfection
Incomparable nature! Why would we try to improve it?
Size doesn’t matter
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
