First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes… an Australian adventure.
Close your eyes. Think of a place you’ve visited where you’ve felt extremely at ease, like the atmosphere beckoned you to this very corner of the planet, and you obliged willingly. Now imagine the wind blowing softly through you, and the soil beneath you pulling your spine straight up and down, like this magnificent place…
It’s a mild evening on the banks of the Fitzroy River, not far out of Broome. The sun is moving past the horizon and the sky is still touched with pink as another peaceful day draws to a close. The fire cracks away inconspicuously as I wait in patience for harsh, hot coals to form…

It’s Wednesday, 33 degrees and the flies are rampant. I’m nestled cross-legged on our picnic mat, the dogs two metres away snuggling around Ben as he reads atop our swags. Oak has managed to occupy himself with a couple of chew toys while Sam tries his best to snooze uninterrupted. The air is hot but…
Your first time visiting Western Australia? Ours too. Tips for traveling (kindly). After the famous stretch of nothing (The Nullarbor), we weren’t quite sure what to expect of the great western state – a land more foreign to us than say Bali or New Zealand… This is a place nearly 3,000 kilometres from home. This…
When you here the term ‘red centre’ what enters your mind first? Is it the obvious – the huge natural wonder of arguably our most famous landmark, Uluru (more commonly known as Ayers Rock)? Or is your vision blurred – do you see red sand or a desert land which feels far more foreign than…
Prairie Hotel, Parachilna It was too early for lunch, and we hadn’t long had breakfast by the campfire, but we weren’t leaving. We eagerly swatted away armies of flies to get a taste of this rare outback meal. We were waiting outside the Prairie Hotel at Parachilna for lunch service to begin. I try my…

The fire crackles and the air is still. I’m wearing two layers as opposed to three, but the hot water bottle still radiates away under our covers. Oh how I’m longing for warmth and I think it’s finally coming… layer by layer. From cool coastlines to the deep centre. The soil beneath our toes has…
When I stop to consider the words I should string together in my attempt to inform and inspire, it’s always a task that seems near impossible. Every new place we visit, every smell, every sight, every person we meet. What we wouldn’t give to bring you with us – and the Eyre Peninsula in South…
TWO MONTHS ON THE ROAD and I suppose you’re probably expecting a concise wrap-up of our journey. A list of where we went, how much we spent, the dos and don’ts… Only this time we’re going to do things a little differently – a little uncomfortably. Often, we are blinded by the pretty pictures and…
It’s a bleak Saturday morning and my eyes are bleary as we sit and wait for our cue to board our jet back to the mainland. The Hobart sky displays its darkest grey and rain drizzles down on the tarmac as we stare out blankly, trying to muster the energy to make the most of…
