The children were playing happily so I snuck on the computer to check my emails. Sitting in my inbox was an email to say that one of my readers had nominated Let Me Be Free for the Travel Blog Awards held by Mr Promocode. I was blown away to discover that some thought my content was worthy of a nomination.
The car and camper trailer was packed and we were ready to set off for the Easter long weekend. The only problem was we had no booking and no where to go. We hoped to get a site at Sandy Cape Recreational Park which is a first in first severed basis campground. It seems that everyone else had the same plan and the place was full to the brim.
What were we to do? Where will we stay? Suddenly I remembered a camp ground we had seen on one of our previous adventures. We headed a little further up the coast to Milligan Island Camping Ground and thankfully we managed to get a site.Read More »
Welcome to ten on ten! On the 10th of each month I share 10 photos from our family life. A little snippet of our days.
Perth is having glorious Autumn weather and we are soaking up the suns rays, heading to the beach every chance we get. Making the most of the weather before it changes.
In an attempt to improve the fuel economy of our HZJ105 Landcruiser, through the process of elimination we started with checking the valve clearances. We purchased a T & E tool which didn’t work as sold for our application, some modifying was required.Read More »
We have camped with our children since they were infants. I must admit I was nervous when we strapped our little bundle of joy into the car and headed down a rough dirt track into the Aussie bush. We camped in a remote location with no amenities just plenty of fresh country air and tall trees to give us shade. Read More »
People often tell me that they are envious of our adventures. We try and get away every six weeks and they are usually short camping trips. I decided to put the call out to all my friends and let them know that we were camping at Lake Brockman. Anyone was welcome to join us and to my surprise we had 11 families take up the offer. It was a wonderful getaway for everyone and most of all I loved seeing the children enjoying nature.Read More »

On the 10th of each month I share 10 photos. This month is all about Rottnest Island, Western Australia.
Instead of catching the ferry to Rottnest Island like most people I decided to swim there instead! Rottnest Channel Swim is a 19.7km open water swim from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island.Read More »
It is that time of year again when we set out to compete in the Rottnest Channel Swim. Months are spent juggling children, training and preparing for the event. It is worth all the effort to challenge yourself and to taste that ice cold beer at the Rottnest pub once it is all over!
Swim to Rotto is one of Western Australia’s iconic events, the Rottnest Channel Swim is a 19.7km open water swim from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island. The race can be done as a solo, duo or in a team of four and you need to have a support crew of a boat and a paddler.Read More »
Bali is fondly known as another state in Western Australia. It is cheaper and closer for us West Aussies to go to Bali on a holiday then it is to visit the Eastern States. I have lost count the number of times I have been to Bali but it is more than 10 times.
If you have never been to Bali before and planning a trip here are few things that you need to know.Read More »
