March 8, 2020 Day two of our Cradle Mountain adventure dawned rather chillier than day one. The cloud was out, the sun was shy, there was a nip in the mountain air, but we set off for another traipse around Cradle Mountain. Our starting point was Ronny Creek, where we were deposited by the shuttle.... Continue Reading →
March 7, 2020 “Are you sure!?” called Steve from behind me, with undisguised questioning of my navigational skills, seemingly convinced I was taking us on a merry dance through the Tasmanian wilderness. “Yes!” I replied with utmost certainty. I had the guide posts in my sight and despite the fact our path had become nothing... Continue Reading →
“We really are lucky.” Those words have passed our lips on more occasions than I could count with a stadium’s worth of fingers and toes. On our travels we daily expressed how fortunate we were, to be in a position to see the amazing things we’d seen, to travel as we did, in the manner... Continue Reading →

We’ve roamed around the city and marina and we roamed around the Botanic Gardens, so today we decided we wanted to see a bit of history and learn a bit of Singapore’s story. I’d... Continue Reading →
October 5 - Singapore After I got in an early morning run before things got too hot, we got started on our day. Today we did one thing, so I’m not going to do a whole lot of talking, I’ll just let the pictures tell the story. The one thing we did was explore the... Continue Reading →
October 4 - Singapore “You’re looking very red,” I commented to Steve, as his nose, cheeks and chin seemed to emanate a very rosy glow by the end of this afternoon. “I’d never get tired of this heat,” said the happy roaster, as he contentedly cooked under the solar grill above. The Big Fella had... Continue Reading →
October 2 - 3: Windsor to Singapore Wednesday dawned bright and clear and was a gorgeous crisp, sunny, autumn day. We motored out of Windsor but with some time to kill before a night flight, we decided to explore just a little more. We made our way to Runnymede, the place that has been called...
