Icebergs Bondi Beach
Bondi Beach is a total iconic Australian land mark. Even today, a gloomy wet day, the beach is magnificent. Bondi has a reputation world wide as being that “typical Aussie beach”and it is… although it has soared a bit in hipster and wealth notoriety! I have been going to Bondi for years and today, just…
Read MoreMt Warning Delights
Today was a magic day shared with close friends in a very spiritual part of Australia, Mt Warning. Mt Warning, also known as Mt Wollumbin is a step craggy mountain (actually the remnants of a volcano) that makes for a big day time climb. The 4.5 km, one way walk, (9km return trip) takes on…

It seems to have been gracefully, healthily stuck in the 80s with its town feel and community. It’s here that I love going to…

Why Wategos, Byron and Fishheads are my happy place A favourite of mine is Byron Bay, especially Wategos Beach around under the light house. It’s one of my “happy places” where time stands still, where dolphins break the water and the sun always beams (even on rainy days). Today was a perfect start with a stretch…

Our Sunday finds us pottering along the Northern Rivers seaside towns of Fingal and Kingscliffe where we stumble across Baja, celebrating the famous Mexican day Cinco De Maya. The day when the Mexicans beat the French. The Giant Causeway at Fingal, named after the famous Irish Giants Causeway. Absolutely magic. Before finding our lunch destination…
