Choked up with Memories of Home

Kerst bij Frank
Mijn veel te zware tas lanceer ik met een plof in de auto van Frank, mijn vriend die ik met Kerst enkele dagen zal bezoeken. We rijden naar zijn woning, en ik krijg een voorproefje op Franks rijstijl, welke niet al te best blijkt. Vakkundig zwiept ...
Sunny Ridge, Gunnamatta and Frankston

We'd just got back to Rye from our Great Ocean Road trip, and I was telling Sam's wife Kate how we'd seen koalas but no kangaroos. She said that the view from up at Arthur's Seat, a twenty minute drive away, was worth getting back in the car for. There ...
Voted best NYE!
A gruelling hiking New Year's weekend. My aching muscles!!! But it was all worth it, and character building to boot. The plan: 10 of us hiking and bush camping at Wilson's Prom. 35 kms in 3 days. Bush camping. Too much grog. What were we ...

Philip Island, Newhaven
Two days to go, what a scary thought. It makes me fizzy dizzy everytime I think about it. At least it doesn't actually feel like my birthday so maybe I can pretend to be 29 for a while. The smoke caught up with us today, it was really hazy and the smell ...
Philip Island Cowes
Sunshine and a cool breeze greeted us with a chirpy hello this morning as we emerged from a cold night in the van. Still a bit windy but not half as much as yesterday and we were both very thankful for that. As we ate breakfast a parrot type bird flew ...
