A raw new direction
Trying to make a few video’s of the action. I apologise for the editing, frame rate, acting, audio…..etc. Anyway it is an experiment.
Good things come in small packages like Cowley Beach.
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. …

Melrose (place ….. ha ha) & Coober Pedy
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 …
Buderim Falls, in the middle of everything
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. …
Alice Springs to Hervey Bay -> Chillin
Alice Springs ….. Covid ….. Run for the hills ….. or Qld. After the big drive from Curtin Springs we meandered into Alice Springs. Free camping for three days, it was time to find the last powered site known to man, woman, child or non-binary unit in the Northern Territory. We wanted a warm shower, …
The wave
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 …
NT-Big rocks, little rocks, many rocks.
Since SA, we have been travelling many, many, many, many kilometres. Literally many 1000s. So my posts have often been sporadic and brief to say the least. The situation is compounded by being completely wrecked at the end of the day, from the tyranny (ha ha) of sightseeing national treasures, the enlightenment of the outback …
Adelaide City
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 …
Seals
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 …
Kangaroo Island
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, …
Beaches
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 …
Barossa Valley
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. …
