Just like that another year is almost over! December is a busy month for us, along with all the Christmas parties we have two birthdays. JJ is turning 6 and I am slightly freaking out as I am turning 40! 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: These Days
Welcome to ten on ten! On the 10th of each month I share 10 photos from our family life.
Spring is here and the weather is warming up so we have been making the most of it.
Balmy Nights
Bloomin’ Western Australia
When I think about spring as a child it brings back memories of picnics in the bush, cooking on an open fire and searching for native orchids and other wildflowers. I grew up in a small wheatbelt town which is know as wildflower country.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 »
What I learnt about myself while travelling solo
Recently I watched a documentary on David Gulpilil an aboriginal actor. Something he said has stuck with me. “In the blackfella world we share everything. Everything is ours. In the whitefella world it is private property and everything belongs to someone else.” He went on to say “Blackfella world you have nothing, a spear and your ready to go. Whitefella have too much junk.”
It got me thinking about how we live our life. In our culture we collect things. My house is full of books that I have read once and will probably never pick up again. Vases that never hold flowers, ornaments and other dust collectors.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.
A local’s guide to Perth
I am a Sandgroper, so who better to give you a local guide to Perth. Not sure what a Sandgroper is? It is the affectionate name given to Western Australians as our state is full of sand!
Perth is the most isolated city in the world. It is easier and cheaper for us to duck over to Bali than visit our friends in the Eastern States. Perth is very laid back, we love getting outdoors and making the most of our glorious weather. In fact, we enjoy more sunshine in Perth than any other city in Australia.Read More »
Ten on Ten: Dirt bikes and wildflowers
Welcome to ten on ten! On the 10th of each month I share 10 photos from our family life.
Recently we embarked on a road trip to the wheatbelt. Sadly the crops are not looking as healthy as they should be due to a dry start to the WA winter. The farmers are doing it tough this year so just remember to thank a farmer for your next meal.Read More »
Camping at Lake Navarino (Waroona Dam)
I stumbled across Lake Navarino on Instagram some time ago. I love finding new places to explore and that is why I have an Instagram obsession. So when some friends asked me if I wanted to spend a weekend at Lake Navarino Holiday Park I didn’t hesitate to say yes. That and the fact it has been almost 3 months since we have been camping. Hard to believe I know!Read More »
