Tweet Phillip Island … bird watching … picnicking … drawing … comic writing … strolling … exploring … delighting in the notion that when we stop and really look, there’s so much more there then we’ve ever before realised. cape barren geese – these are the sweeties that drew us here Abby met them on [...]

Tweet Ahhhh … you know where we are, don’t you. Yes, Abby, Sacha and I have made the trek across the Gippsland and are spending a week with Mum in marvellous Merimbula. Oh how I do love this sweet seaside village. Only a few more years and our family will be moving up here. Until [...]
Tweet We went to the zoo! On the hottest day of our heatwave so far ….. (that sound is me hissing through my teeth) … it was lovely. But excruciatingly hot. The best part was when I stood under the canopy sprinkler with the kookaburra. I just wish they’d turned the tap on a bit [...]
Tweet … and say sorry for every occasion on which I have been a bit dismissive – alright, downright sneering – about the beaches of Port Phillip Bay. I’m truly sorry. Today I have been forced to eat almost every harsh word I’ve ever uttered regarding the rights of Victoria to claim that there’s lovely [...]
Tweet The day was grey, drizzly and cool. Sensible folk were staying indoors. But my dear old Grandad is not so sensible – especially according to some of the women in his life. So, when I suggested a quick drive to Haycocks Point – the furtherest rocky outcrop to the south that we can see [...]
Tweet Now my old Grandad is an intrepid adventurer but when he saw this staircase last week, even he had to admit that he was perhaps past climbing 84 steps. Such a shame :-) because at the bottom lies a remarkable treasure – the Blue Pool. Built in the 1930s – a Great Depression Project [...]
Tweet After almost an hour of twisting, turning, sliding, plummeting, inching, and bumping along the most alarming dirt track I have ever adventured along, this is the sweet sight that greeted us. Oh with what relief we stretched our legs and trotted off, these gorgeous, freshly whitewashed chimney pots – almost luminescent against the deep [...]
Tweet Our first day of our summer holiday by the beach and I was given the privilege and delight of taking my dear old Grandad on an adventure. Soon after midday, we tootled off to take the long road to Tilba Tilba – home of Erica’s beautiful cheese. Grandad had long heard of the [...]
Tweet We had a rather turtly time, driving home across the Gippsland last week. Instead of sticking to the highway, we turned off shortly after leaving Bairnsdale and took the back road to Sale – via two wee villages that were so wee we missed them altogether! But we did meet some of the locals. [...]
