There’s a pattern that’s developed since I have been working. Whenever there is a public holiday I try my best to take advantage and scrimp together any remaining holiday leave to add to it and get away and do something I couldn’t otherwise do in a regular weekend. Australia Day was no exception, falling on … More A Micro Road Trip in Tasmania
I have been to Byron Bay a number of times and each time I’m at the lighthouse and look across the ocean to see the peak of Mt Warning, I promise myself the next time I’m here I’ll hike up it. Well I learned from my past mistakes and this time organised myself to get … More Will procrastinate another day
I am prone to booking a weekend away with no itinerary. In September I found myself flying up to the Gold Coast on a whim having stumbled upon cheap flights a few weeks previous. Hmmm what to do….. I needed a walk and the Coomera Circuit in Lamington National Park caught my eye. Australian Geographic lists it … More Getting out of the city
In October there was a long weekend so a friend and I headed off to tackle a track in the Blue Mountains over 3 days /2 nights. Although it’s within 90 minutes of Sydney I don’t know the Blue Mountains very well. As is often the case…..what’s on your doorstep doesn’t always hold the same … More What goes down must come up
Hello, amn’t I a blast from the past? Hope you are well. Strange that it can be so easy to fall out of a good habit and almost impossible to get back into one. Over the year I have often thought about writing on this blog and sharing some my photos from my less frequent … More Where did 2015 go?
Hi, long time no talk. Hope you are all well. More recently being Niamhonleave has only been a fleeting state of mind in-between busy weeks working. However I got to spend some time in New Zealand over the Easter and it was very easy to slip back into my former ways. Just a shame I … More A State of Mind
Over time I have stayed in many wonderful places and have enjoyed great company, yet something about camping alone in Mt Kosciuszko captured my imagination. In my last post I shared some photos of the hike but I left out these ones….possibly because I think they deserve their own post! I set up camp in the … More Carry on Camping
I decided to do an overnight trail in Kosciuszko National Park. Its been a while between hikes involving a full pack so this one was at a gentle pace. Mt Kosciuszko, whilst the highest point in Australia, the track there is not the most demanding. It is however beautiful this time of year. This area is more familiar … More Top of Australia
Leaving the Budawangs, the intent was to spend some time in the ocean. However it was a dull afternoon on the south coast so I changed my plans and decided to drive inland towards Jindabyne. Shortly after I headed west the sky revealled itself from behind the clouds it has been shrouded in all day. Here’s a … More Sweet summer colours from the road
