One of my fondest memories of Christmas time growing up is that we would often make and decorate gingerbread houses together. We would generally make 3 or 4 houses and then give them to other families to enjoy. In the last few years we have revisited this, but in a more creative way. Now thatContinue reading “Gingerbread Creations”

Paperbark Forest Boardwalk, Agnes Water
I have been a busy little beaver in the past few weeks, so apologies for missing my post last week – I was taking some time out to enjoy a well-earned rest before starting work again. But during my holiday I went all over, from Victoria to Queensland and then back to NSW, including aContinue reading “Paperbark Forest Boardwalk, Agnes Water”
Arthur’s Seat
Following on from my post last week, Arthur’s Seat is another place that I revisited recently after spending many hours there growing up. It is a lovely area that has so much to offer, from beautiful gardens and lovely walks to gondola rides (or a chairlift as it was when I was growing up). ItContinue reading “Arthur’s Seat”
Cape Schanck Rock Pools
In my previous post I mentioned that I have been spending time with my family and going adventuring with them. So in the coming weeks I thought I would share some of my experiences of our adventures with you. I spent some of my childhood years growing up on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. AndContinue reading “Cape Schanck Rock Pools”
Christmas 2021
Today’s post is going to be a short one! I just wanted to check in to say ‘hi’ and ‘Merry Christmas!’ For many of us Christmas is a busy time of year (it certainly has been for me this year!). I know that I can tend to get caught up in the many traditions andContinue reading “Christmas 2021”
Cubby Houses
I grew up with two older brothers and one younger one and this means that as many boys tend to when they are growing up, they were very interested in being creative and adventurous. All of my brothers were very hands on in their creativity, building many sling shots, bows and arrows and swords. AndContinue reading “Cubby Houses”
Breakfast at the Top of the Yellow Arrow
I have written in previous posts about my experience walking the Green Arrow track in Cairns, so today we are moving on to the Yellow Arrow track! This walk is located in the Mt Whitfield Conservational Park and is 1.9km long with a steady uphill climb. When I lived in the area I had seenContinue reading “Breakfast at the Top of the Yellow Arrow”
Memories while Adventuring
Have you ever had a conversation with someone and then you look back and remember vividly what you were talking about and where you were? For example, you are going on a hike and you remember exactly what you were talking about when you got to a particular lookout, or when you stopped to enjoyContinue reading “Memories while Adventuring”
Road Trips
There’s something so freeing and exciting about taking to the road for hours on end, whether you have a destination in mind or not. Road trips bring out my sense of adventure because there is so much potential – new places to see, snacks, good conversations and pitstops at the most random places. I haveContinue reading “Road Trips”
Planning Future Adventures
As I wrote last week’s post on the Snowy Mountains I got a real case of wanderlust. Actually, let me rephrase that – my wanderlust increased significantly. Being from Sydney I have been in lockdown for the last 3 months, only leaving to go for walks or occasionally shopping, and I must say I haveContinue reading “Planning Future Adventures”
