Rottnest Channel Swim 2017
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!

Bali for the first timer
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 »
10 on 10 Project
Recently I completed a photo essay course at university and I want to keep practicing my photography. So on the 10th of each month I will share 10 photos. The photos have been taken by myself or my partner and it is a snippet of what we have been up to over the summer in Western Australia.
It is about finding life and beauty in the ordinary things of our day to day!
Discovering Augusta, Western Australia
Augusta is a place I have been to many times but just as a day trip from Margaret River. I have not spent quality time in Augusta until lately and I fell in love with the coastal town. It is a laid-back town full of natural beauty. The town overlooks the Hardy Inlet and Flinders Bay is a perfect spot for snorkelling and swimming.Read More »

Making Sunprints
Summer holidays are in full swing and to tell you the truth I was dreading it! Worried about how I would entertain my two little children without Kindy and our usual activities. To my surprise I have been enjoying these school holiday. There is no need to rush around in the morning, the mornings are now calm. We have been spending lots of time at the beach swimming and pottering around the house.
Spending lots of time at home means we have been doing lots of craft, making and creating. My daughter JJ and I have been experimenting with a Sunprint Kit.
What I learnt on my Photo Essay Course
Photography is something that I struggle with and I often hand the camera over to my partner Dixie. I shy away from taking photos as he is much better at it than me. I decided it was time to take action so I enrolled with the University of Tasmania to do a Photo Essay Course.
I really enjoyed the course as it got me out of my comfort zone by capturing images that I wouldn’t normally shoot.
Here are some of the things I took away from doing the course.Read More »
4wding from Ledge Point to Seabird
Summer Holidays are for hitting the beach with a bit of 4 wheel driving thrown in for fun.
We departed Perth and drove 120 kilometers north along the Indian Ocean Drive to a small coastal town called Ledge Point. The main beach was crowded with holiday makers so we didn’t stick around. We dropped the tyre pressure in our 4wds and followed the coast line back towards Perth.
In search for our own private beach to have lunch and relax. Taking our time to explore the coast line.Read More »
