I learned something recently. I get distracted in company, so much so that I hardly take any photographs at all. I met up with some friends for a hike and I have no photographs to share with you of it. Seems I am far too used to hiking alone and will have to learn how … More Short and sweet
The other weekend I went for the hike. It was the first one in a long time and taking the stairs through the office on Monday morning was telling – my legs were stiff. All worth it though, great to be back in the bush. I headed along to the Royal National Park and hiked … More Back in the bush
Greetings from my kitchen table in Sydney, long time no talk. Hope you are all well. It’s been too long since I wrote anything on this blog so am feeling a little uncomfortable at the keyboard. In recent months I have swapped by blog for presentations and reports and road trips for a daily commute to … More Hello World…… it’s been a while!
It’s my last night on the road. Tomorrow I will arrive back in Sydney. Not altogether sure how I feel about that or what comes next for Niamh on Leave as I will be back at work within a week. Quite incredible really when I think about it. It might sound strange but I haven’t really been … More Last minute thoughts

It was quite windy on my first day with lots of sand blowing in the air giving everything … More Locals of Mungo
I wanted to get dressed. Not that I spend my days naked. It’s just that the last few weeks I have been either driving or hiking and have been wearing the same clothes all the time. I wanted to wear something new (i.e. new to the trip new, as in, I packed it weeks ago but … More A Liquid Detour
I am not sure when I first heard about or saw a picture of Wilpena Pound, but I know the thought of seeing it for myself has captivated me for a while. To fully appreciate the area, it’s possibly best from the air, a treat for another time, this day I chose instead to hike … More Hiking Wilipena Pound
I have set up camp in the Flinders Ranges National Park for a few days. Interesting place. Much of the park can be accessed by car at this time of year as it’s dry. So if you are feeling especially lazy you can spend your day driving through the gorges with the air-conditioning on, pulling over … More Flinders Ranges
