We’ve said a couple of times how meeting people has been one of the best aspects of our trip so far. We’ve been lucky to meet some fabulous people so far, some of which we know we will keep in touch with long after our trip has finished. Bill and Belinda and their family are …

Gold sparkles in Kalgoorlie
Kalgoorlie was the stop that we were prepared to take or leave when we were in the planning phase of our trip. If we made it there, all well and good but if it didn’t happen, then that was ok too. On our trip across the Nullarbor we realised that we hadn't made plans for Easter …
Our summary of Tassie – Wk 2
They get shorter, I promise you!!! Base at New Norfolk So, in my last post, you would have seen us just finish up our Christmas sojourn to Strahan (and the comfort of a hotel room!). But of course, when on a trip like ours, it was time to get moving again. We left Strahan thinking …

In illness we bond
Just in case the picture from my Silent Sunday post yesterday was a bit too cryptic, today was spent recovering from a particularly nasty little tummy bug. Thankfully it was only a quick 24 hour kind of thing but like they normally do, they pack a punch! I spent pretty much most of Sunday camped out …
No sleep Thursday
If you're in Australia you might have seen on the news the story of the South Australian bush fires ravaging the Barossa Valley yesterday. Fires on that scale are always devastating and just plain scary, even if you are not personally affected by them. Yesterday, the hubby was stuck in the area where the fires …
