Easter has to be one of my favourite holidays. There is no pressure to find the perfect gift or cook fancy food. For us, it is about spending quality time together and going camping at Easter has become a bit of a tradition.

Keeping Healthy While Camping
I must admit when we go camping, lollies, chips and other processed foods sneak their way into our trolley. I take the easy option and provide far too many treats for our family.
Just because we are going away doesn’t mean our eating habits should change. Don’t get me wrong we will still have a few red wines and roast marshmallows around the campfire. We all need a few little indulgences after all!Read More »
Free Camping at Cliff Head
Who doesn’t love a free campground located right on the beach? Nothing is more relaxing than sitting in your favourite camp chair, soaking in the view and listening to the sound of the ocean.Read More »
Camping at Potters Gorge and Honeymoon Pool
Potters Gorge has had a bit of a bush makeover (if there is such a thing) since the last time we were there. It has been upgraded to have nice large campsites, paths, shelters, BBQs and a mountain bike pump track.
The name Potters Gorge is a little misleading as there is no gorge in the area. The campground is actually situated along the banks of Wellington Dam. Read More »
Review: RAC Margaret River Nature Park
For the longest time, I have been wanting to camp at RAC Margaret River Nature Park (formerly Wharncliffe Mill Bush Retreat). I had heard nothing but rave reviews on the property so I decided to check it out for myself. Would it live up to my expectations?Read More »
Road trip to the farm for a 40th!
Nothing beats a road trip, especially when the kids are not in the car!!! We loaded up the car with our camping gear and headed down the country road to my friends farm. The shearing shed had a makeover with festoon lights and other decorations ready to celebrate Liv’s 40th birthday!
Photo Essay: Australia Day at Sandy Cape
We rolled into Sandy Cape Recreational Park in the hope to get a camping spot for the Australia Day long weekend. I said a little prayer “Hail Mary full of grace, please find us a camping space”. And what do you know we got the last site available! Read More »
Ten on Ten: Moore River, a nature playground
Welcome to ten on ten! On the 10th of each month I share 10 photos from our family life. I know I am a bit late sharing this post but I am sure you can forgive me!
The heat was intense, it was a welcome relief when the weather turned. The sky grew dark, loud claps of thunder echoed through the sky and lightening could be seen in the distance.Read More »
Ten on Ten: Boshack Outback, getting off the grid
Welcome to ten on ten! On the 10th of each month I share 10 photos taken in a day.
As soon as we opened the gate we entered into a new world. Boshack Outback is more than just a farm stay. They are eco-friendly and have as little impact on the environment as possible. They are off the grid, all solar powered and drinking water comes from a fresh water spring.Read More »
4wd Holland Track a Thrilling Outback Adventure
To tell you the truth I was a little nervous about doing the Holland Track. I didn’t really know what to expect. I just knew we would be in a remote part of Western Australia 4wding for 3 days. Thoughts were running through my head like what if the kids get hurt or sick? What if we breakdown and can’t get help? I mean the thought of spending days on end in a car with small children is enough to send anyone into a panic attack. What I didn’t expect was to be intrigued by the pioneer John Holland and his life.
