Multi-Day Hiking – My Thoughts So Far
Earlier this year, we did the Three Capes Walk in Tasmania, a four-day walk on the Tasman Peninsula. I’ve just finished my recaps: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4. This was our second multi-day hike. We did the Overland Track in 2022, and I loved it so much I couldn’t wait to…

Tasmania Day 8: Three capes walk Day 2
Continental breakfast and hot drinks were available from 7 a.m., with hot breakfast served at 7:30 a.m. each morning. After fueling up for the day, we collected our lunches, selecting our choice of extras to pop in with the salad that had been made up by the host and later put into wraps carried by…

Good Things Friday
Dinner Party “Have my school friends over” is on my list, and I am happy to report that it happened on Friday night. G was away in Noosa with his school friends, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to have my school friends over for dinner. I reconnected with two of them at…

Hiking @ Ferny
I’ve mentioned before that my husband has moved to a 4-day work week and I work casual hours from home, so some weeks we can do some fun things during the week. Last Friday I wanted to hike, and G had been wanting to take me up to Ferny to show me the running trail…

In The Garden – December 2023
This has been a year-long project where I photograph our garden each month. The garden is still sporting some thigh-high weeds that grew up while we were away but I’ve got a fair bit of it weeded and I gave the Myoporum a massive haircut today. I thought it might be fun to compare with…

In The Garden – November 2023
It’s now the 30th of November here, so the end of NaBloPoMo. I just checked my number of posts for November and there are twenty-seven, this post makes twenty-eight and I just found two that didn’t post on schedule. I think WordPress may not have liked my multiple time zone changes. So today you get…

In the Garden October 2023
Now it’s Spring everything is taking off in the garden. When I planted it last year I chose a mainly purple, yellow and white flowering scheme. The long-purple flags went in after they would have flowered so this is the first time I’ve been able to enjoy their flowering. They tend to flower in one…

In the Garden September 2023
I’ve had these photos sitting on my camera since I took them in September. The section of the garden near the water feature has really bushed up, filling in a lot of the gaps, although there are some spaces where Riley dug some big holes that we might need to look at. I planted several…

A common sight … but still beautiful
It’s not hard to spot a Rainbow Lorikeet around our place. It wasn’t always this way though. They disappeared from Melbourne in the 1920’s but are now back in greater numbers than before settlement. Experts think this is due to the flowering gums from other parts of Australia that were planted by councils and gardeners…

In the Garden August 2023
I pottered around the garden today and marvelled at how much more pleasant it is to garden in mild weather. Even though it is still officially winter here we are having a spring weather day so at least for today I didn’t come back into the house with freezing hands. I even had lunch outside…
