I love it when you have no exceptions about a destination. You are amazed and stunned at the beauty a place has to offer. I knew very little about Bridgetown except that the Blackwood River ran through the town and surely there must be a bridge there! Well one would assume with the name Bridgetown.Read More »

Day trip to Rottnest Island
After my 19.7km duo swim to Rottnest Island I decided that I needed to go back and enjoy the island. Take the time to reflect on our swim, enjoy the beaches and everything the island has to offer.
Sculptures By The Sea
I am no art critic but Sculpture by the Sea at Cottesloe Beach is an event I enjoy attending each year. I love the colour, texture and playful displays.
It is great to see that the people of Perth embrace these events. I joined thousands of people who came to get a glimpse at the artwork in the sunshine. Stunned at how many people are drawn to this free outdoor event.Read More »
Our Rottnest Channel Swim in a Duo
In the lead up to Swim to Rotto nerves took over and I faced a lot of self doubt. I knew that I could not let fear take over, I had to believe in my abilities and that all my hard work would pay off.

Climbing Castle Rock, Porongurup
While we were spending some time in the country Dixie and I left the kids with the Grandparents and headed off to climb Castle Rock. This is the first date night (or is it date day) that we have had in a year. I think other couples would choose to go to one of the wineries located near by for their date night.
The Porongurup Range is 12 kilometres long and is located 24kms from Mt Barker or 48kms from Albany in Western Australia. There are 4 different walks you can take in the park and we opted for Castle Rock which had a Granite Skywalk at the top.
At the base of Castle Rock there are picnic tables, bbq’s and long drop toilets so you can enjoy the area before or after your climb.
