Do you often drive past a local tourist attraction but never make the effort to stop and have a look? For years I have driven past Yellagonga Regional Park, noticed the old buildings but never stopped to have a look. Now I am making a conscious effort to explore the attractions on our backdoor step.
I am so glad that I made the effort as I was pleasantly surprised! Walking around the area we learnt about the indigenous people who used the area as camp grounds, to perform ceremonies and as a source of food and water. After white settlement the land was used for market gardens, there are ruins on the site which include a shed and a cottage that has been restored.
LocationBoshack Outback is located in the wheatbelt near the town of Bolgart which is 90 minutes from Perth. If you are travelling from Perth it is a pretty drive and I suggest stopping along the way to have a look at Noble Falls just past Gidgegannup. If you need to pick up some last minute supplies then Toodyay is a nice little town to stop in and it is located on the Avon River.Read More »

Today is International Mud Day, a day for splashing in muddy puddles, making mud pies, squishing, squelching in glorious mud!
Victorians seem to be extremely passionate about the Murray River, they always talk about the area so fondly. Since I met Dixie he is always reminiscing and telling me stories about the river, his mates house boat and ski racing. I am sure some of these tales grow taller!
I had to check out the good old Murray River for myself so we headed to Echuca which is the closest town from Melbourne located on the banks of the Murray. It is Australia’s longest river, it spans over three states, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. In the 1800’s it was the busiest inland port with paddle steamers ferrying supplies along the river. These paddle steamers are now one of the main attractions in Echuca so naturally we took a ferry ride down the river.Read More »
Water is something I have always loved, I don’t know if it was because I grew up in the bush hundreds of kilometres from the beach. I craved family holidays spending weeks at the seaside just wasting the days away, I think this is when my love of the ocean grew.Read More »
