Tourist tames terrifying wild animal
Ok, so maybe I’ve taken some liberties with the title, but it worked! Here you are reading a story about Mocha the Quokka on Rottnest Island. These engaging little marsupials are everywhere – including this one in our shower. We figured it was thirsty so GW put down a bowl of water. Five minutes and [...]
Moo to you too!!
Dig deep for the truth
Ok, I knew there were great wines in Margaret River – I’ve tasted a few… I’d heard about the awesome surf and now have to agree that it’s at least as good as Queensland’s Gold and Sunshine coast (maybe better?) But nowhere had I read anything about the caves! And I’m talking about the limestone variety not [...]
Definition of Perfection
Incomparable nature! Why would we try to improve it?
Size doesn’t matter
Little Beach, east of Albany, punches well above its weight. As a devote beach goer, from a very youthful six months of age, I pride myself on being a connoisseur of sandy shores and surf breaks. I’ll even admit (reluctantly) to being biased and have always considered Queensland beaches to be the best in the [...]

Margaret River – so much more than a river…

We had a fabulous day exploring the Caves Scenic drive [...]
Red Bull Rampage
Wow what a day! Sunburnt, with a stiff neck, sore feet and a silly grin we watched the Red Bull Air Race team carve up the skies over Perth. I think the helo pilot should have got first prize for his tireless efforts – he flew every single run!! The weather was superb, the organisation [...]
When the road takes a different turning…
Sometimes the fork in the road is imposed rather than selected. In this case it’s Mother Nature doing the imposing… Yesterday we were due to fly to Singapore then on to Manchester in the UK. Instead, we turned left out of Cairns and headed to Ayers Rock and Perth. I couldn’t help but compare the [...]
