It’s so strange to have a body clock more reliable than an alarm. Is this what being a 30 something is? Our first stop today was to go visit Larry the Lobster, and tick off another “big thing” in Australia. This is probably the most impressive “big thing” I’ve seen personally. Larry is in Kingston, […]
Read MoreMy body clock is mean. We had 7.45 alarms but I was up and finalising yesterday’s blog at 6 o’clock. But once I ran out of things to be productive doing, we got up and ready to start the day. First stop, breakfast and coffee. Once we were sufficiently nourished, we started our hour journey […]
Read MoreToday’s the day I get to tick another Aussie state off the list! We were on the road by 8.15, heading to a bakery for a quick brekkie stop before heading towards The Big Miner in Ballarat where we met up with Amy and Anthony, our travel buddies for this trip. We had only planned […]
Read MoreWe may have bitten off more than we could chew for today. We had the best intentions of getting up early and getting to a few more places before heading back to Melbourne this afternoon, but I think we may have underestimated the sheer size of Salamanca market. Looking at a map of the market, it […]
Read MoreWe left the Airbnb that I had mentally moved into this morning, and honestly I’m still mourning the loss. Sitting on that balcony staring at all of Hobart, with a backdrop of Mount Wellington has become a morning ritual that I’ll miss tremendously. But alas, we got ourselves up, cleared the place, checked out and […]
Read MoreRichmond is a beautiful and historic place that I feel we need to come back to give an appropriate amount of time to. As we were driving to the Richmond bridge area for today’s festivities, I fell more and more in love with it. Old cottages and green hills, the bridge itself is the oldest […]
Read MoreToday started at 5.30am. The mad rush to leave the house before a flight for some reason always surprises me. House preparation, dog preparation, last minute packing and, for early ones at least, just attempting to wake up and human enough to function. Our flight was at 8.40, and Virgin Australia was right on time! […]
Read MoreI don’t think I’ve had a trip so far where illness hasn’t reared its head; this trip has been no exception. We had a quiet day planned for today anyway, nothing booked or paid for. Originally we were going to go walking in the Glass Mountains, but since 3/4 people in our party are crook […]
Read MoreToday was something even more special than I had prepared myself for. Something that you may have learned about me while reading my blogs is that I have two predominant interests when it comes to what brings me joy. Natural settings like the beach or forest, or animals. As such, I’ve always been interested in […]
Read MoreDefiinition of everglade: a swampy grassland especially in southern Florida usually containing saw grass and at least seasonally covered by slowly moving water —usually used in plural. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/everglade There are only two places you will find the everglade environment in the world, Florida and right here in our backyard, Noosa Australia, and we were headed to […]
