I’ve recently started experimenting with video editing and creating action-packed videos. While I’m still in the learning phase, it’s been a fun and rewarding experience. I’m trying to capture high-energy moments, but I’ll admit, the editing, frame rate, acting, and audio aren’t quite perfect yet. It’s all part of the process, and I’m treating this …
You know that point when the rice is just about to boil over. The water is rising quickly in a volcanic surge, with a desire to erupt onto the vogue cooktop previously cleaned to Martha Stewart standards. That’s where my brain is right now…work induced CTSD. That is current traumatic stress disorder……..we’ve all been there. …

Moving forward from Adelaide towards the Flinders Ranges, a number of interesting small towns pop out to say hello. This one was very interesting, considering we have found where Nessy is hiding. Alligator Gorge boasts many undercuts, sheer walls, alpine trees and seriously loose and slippery rock trails. It was raining and the footing is …
Everything Once in a while you find something interesting, something unexpected. Not lost but definitely not where you thought it would be. In the middle of the Sunshine Coast and also on school holidays, we found a little gem. A hidden treasure, a secret haven, a moment of sanity, nestled within the quagmire of suburbia. …
All across Australia, there is a movement, a signal, a friendly gesture that is time honoured, gender inclusive and completely non-discriminatory. The wave. We are not talking about the actions of the group at a soccer game here. It’s a personal thing. Automotive related. Deeply emotional to some and physiologically robotic to others. At its …
Today is a good and a bad day. A wonderful part of owning and travelling in a 20+ year old car is that you can do much of the maintenance yourself. Sometimes, a lovely little surprise raises its head up and bites you. Today we were bitten. I had been driving an hour and a …
Kangaroo Island is full of wildlife. We spent two days with the seals, in cyclonic winds and freezing conditions. Seriously, I was wearing 5 layers of clothing, most of them thermals, a scarf, beanie and Gore-Tex shell jacket. Now slightly warm, in these sub-arctic conditions, we could enjoy what nature had to offer. Admirals Arch …
Reminiscent of myself after a tin of baked beans and a curry, the winds are strong with frequent gusts. Time to brave the wild SA coastline; the southern waves and winds are mighty today. Ferry terminal found, ginger tablets devoured, snacks purchased; we are ready for the 45 min trip from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw, …
Birds, beaches, bums, boulders and Seals (there are no B words for seals). A Goolwa beach, Granite Island and Victor Harbour tour with a flathead and chips slipped in there somewhere. We are in the heart of the Murray River Mouth country. Where the beaches are endless, birds are bountiful and seals perform individualised synchronised …
Two hundredish wineries. Eightyish cellar doors. That’s a lot to choose from when you do drink wine, but normally about once a year. We set off with the task to experience the Barossa Valley and all of its delights. Promises of many and varied beverages, cheese, chocolate and fruits a plenty. We were not disappointed. …
A little slice (the irony doesn’t escape me) of Germany, found in South Australia. Hahndorf was built by Prussian settlers in 1839. They did a wonderful job. The streets are littered with cottage industries and have been since the settlers originally built the foundations of what is now a thriving little town. German culture is …
Carpenter Rocks & Beachport Our introduction to the South Australian coastline was rather dramatic. Age old, weather-blasted, time beaten, into ‘Aerobar’ shaped sculptures, of grandeur and mystique. Oh how I wished the fishing line was in hand, pilchard sacrificed, in order to retrieve a generous tuna, salmon or bream; another day perhaps. The wind was …
