Dalwallinu will always be my home. It is the place I grew up, where 4 generations have lived. This is the longest I have been away from my home and I had a strong urge to return to my roots. Show my children what country life is like.
Dalwallinu is located 252 kilometres north east of Perth, a place of wheat and wattle. A wheat and sheep farming town but also known for it’s wildflowers. From July to October the country side bursts into bloom with a large variety of wildflowers.
The dark clouds were rolling in but we needed to get out of the house and go on an adventure. The whole family has been sick, we had to escape these four walls and get some fresh air. We headed to the Perth Hills to explore the spectacular Lesmurdie Falls.Read More »
Driving to the wheatbelt feels I am coming home. I grew up in a small wheatbelt town and when I think of the area I think of red dirt and dry brown paddocks. I have forgotten how beautiful the countryside can be in the winter.Read More »

After the recent rain we had in Perth we headed out to John Forrest National Park in the hope to see the waterfalls flowing. Unfortunately there was not much water around however we still had a lovely day out.Read More »
The more I camp the more I like to find a secluded area to call home for a few days. A place where no one visits except for the native animals. All you can hear is the sound of nature and take in the aromas of the Australia bush.
My partner Dixie is dirt bike mad, he lives, eats and breaths it. He wants to get our children into the sport and to tell you the truth it frightens me. Growing up in the country it was normal for kids to burn around on their dirt bikes but now I have my own children I want to delay them from ridding. Maybe I am wrapping them up in cotton wool too much but as a mum I want to protect them!Read More »
I just want to hitch up the camper trailer to the 4wd and hit the highway. In search of an endless summer. Follow the sun. Although I must admit it does feel like we are having an endless summer here in Perth with the magnificent Autumn weather.Read More »
