One of our favourite comedians is Jimmy Rees. A few weekends ago his Meanwhile in Australia Tour 2022 was held at the Gold Coast, so after booking our tickets, we decided to make a weekend and explore the Coast. As Fate would have it, the Star (the casino, and also where Jimmy was performing) was…

When you put your work out there, it can be scary 😬
I was scared, which was the main reason I kept quiet when I launched my podcast and blog. Yes, I also wanted time to find my voice, get used to talking in front of a camera, and feel comfortable with the content I was creating. Publishing is not needed to do that. By keeping quiet,…

Lessons learnt on the Overland track ⛰
My feet hurt. They were wet, and had been for four days. It was an easy hike, yet I got the basics wrong. How did I, as a former outdoor educator, get myself into this position? 🤦♂️ Looking back it’s easy to see why. The hike itself was fine. My preparation was influenced by other…

Honeymoon and what’s next 😎
We returned from our honeymoon last week, tired and weary, yet excited. It was a great trip, and I highly recommend the Overland track as a must do hike. We had the weather window, so for five beautiful days we trekked south from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair, enjoying each others company, the changing…
