Road Trips the right way

Posted 2 months ago

Over the school hols we packed the family in the car, hooked up the caravan and headed off on a nearly 3,000km round trip to the Coffs Coast.

The road trip, with 3 young kids in the back was a bit worrying so I was super prepared. Road Trip Tips describes what we did to prepare and how successful the first part of the …

Winter! Who'd have it?

Posted 3 months ago

The day before spring and I think the winter lurgies have almost left us. At least I hope they have.

Talk about an unproductive stretch! Just when one kid (or adult for that matter) was starting to sound healthy another one would bite the dust. My days have been filled with coughs, snot and Ventolin.

The last couple of mornings the birds have been chirping. We’ve certainly been having sp…

A Day Out with Dali

Posted 4 months ago

On the weekend we ventured to “The Big Smoke” to check out NGV’s Salvadore Dali exhibition: Liquid Desire. We’d tossed over whether to go for a while as we weren’t sure whether the kids would be able to stick it out. They lasted about 20 minutes :-P

Weekend Away

Posted 4 months ago

Over the school hols, we braved the less than favourable Victorian weather and headed down to Toora, in Gippsland, for an extended weekend away.

It was my husband’s choice of destination. He has fond memories of the area from childhood visits. He forgot about two things though: Gippsland is even colder & wetter at this time of year than usual; and the road through the hills to get there (...

Australian Travel Writing & Photography Redbubble Group

Posted 5 months ago

I’ve always loved reading about and looking at beautiful photographs of Australia. I love seeing it for myself even more. Earlier this year I decided to combine these loves and try my hand at photographing and writing about it myself. Being a bit of a research nut, I looked to my good friend Google for some more specific information.

One of the first sites that Google suggested was the “A…

Bugger the housework

Posted 6 months ago

After a less than auspicious start to the day yesterday, I decided to ignore the housework piling up, pack the camera, a bit of food and my four year old daughter into the car and head off for some happy snapping.

I wasn’t exactly sure where I was going when I set off but thought I’d better include the beach somewhere along the line or else I’d be bearing the wrath of Miss 4 before too long….
