I feel like the year has gone in the blink of an eye and nothing much has happened. I have just been surviving raising two little ones and dealing with the strain of every day life, changing nappies, temper tantrums and never ended sickness.
Now that I sit down and really think about it we have had a great year and so much has happened.Read More »
So I have a confession to make. I like to knit!! Many people have there own ways to de-stress like yoga, meditation or the new fad of colouring in. For me I can’t really get into these activities but knitting helps me relax and I get a finished product at the end.
The most stressful thing about knitting is that you may spend hours making something and then not be real happy with the pattern or the way it looks. These are some of my favourite patterns that have been trialed and tests and are great for camping.
Click on the pattern name and it will take you to the pattern, some are free and others you need to a pay a few dollars for.Read More »
As soon as we turned off the highway onto a gravel road our adventure at Boshack Outback began. Looking in the rear-view mirror I could see a cloud of red dust, ahead paddocks and bushland. Needing to jump out of the car to open and close the farm gates made me realise we were about to experience an authentic farm stay.
What better way to spend the long weekend then to hook up the camper trailer and head north along the coast. For the next few days Cervantes a laidback fishing town which is well know for its crayfish but probably better know for the Pinnacles became our home.

Camping can be a wonderful experience getting away from everything and exploring a new area. If you don’t want to be in a crowded caravan park, a rest area by the side of the road or just looking for a new experience then try camping on private property.Read More »
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 »
Gone are the days of throwing a bag of clothes in the Troopy (which was decked out for camping) and hitting the road in search of a new adventure. Now that we have small children we need to be more organised to make life a little easier.Read More »
Crossing the Nullarbor was not something I was looking forward to, sitting in a car for days on end looking out at the total emptiness of Australia. It is affectionately known as Nulla-boring to many Aussies however I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the journey.Read More »
I have been camping several times while I was pregnant, the last time I went I was 33 weeks when we stayed at Sandy Cape. So many women said to me there is no way they would go. Was I doing the right thing? I must admit I was nervous about going, what if something goes wrong? what if I go into labour early? what if we can’t get to a hospital in time? There were so many what if’s going through my mind.Read More »
Munglinup Beach is a place that took us by surprise with its crystal clear water and white sand. We had no expectations when we went there as we knew nothing about the place.Read More »
