Cuddly Koala and Wild Kangaroo in Canberra

TIDBINBILLA

On my recent trip to the ACT, I was delighted to visit Tidbinbilla Reserve for the first time.

Recently returned to the reserve after being evacuated during the bushfires, it was wonderful to see the animals happily enjoying their surrounds.

Whilst the kangaroo and their joeys roam freely, the endangered Koala are surrounded by a predator-proof fence in a transitioning enclosure as part of the Tidbinbilla breeding program.

Here is a sneak peak. 

Enjoy. N x

A munching Wallaby and Jacky Lizard

-

  A bit of a warm one at 36 degrees but always lovely in the bush. It was a bit warm for the birds but the reptiles and mammals were loving it.  I came across a Swamp Wallaby having a munch of dinner. Curious at first, he went on unperturbed, offering me the occasional glance. It fascinates me how curious these little ones are. A Jacky Lizard watches me from his overhanging rock as I observe his curious behaviour. A wonderful specimen of Water Dragon rests on the tree catching the last of suns warmth. Drying his wings after a recent dive for his dinner. Which reminds me, it's time for my dinner. THE AUTHOR As it does, life took a devastating sideways turn for me. With fierce determination, I quit my teaching job, shut down my photography business, packed up my apartment, hired an agent and rented it out on Airbnb, bought a ticket to London and embarked on an adventure of discovery, both about the world and myself. I’ve learned a great deal about people, places and myself. I’m happy

Albania - How On Earth Did I End Up Here?

 Albania has happened purely by circumstance.  As I have with this entire journey, I've let the universe decide on my itinerary, so when I met Lisa in Morzine, France and she asked me to come with her to Albania, of course, I said yes. This is her little stone house on top of the hill in Qeparo (pronounced Chipero). It is actually not small at all in terms of Albanian homes. At least 10 people would live here ordinarily but we have the place to ourselves. It is quite the hike to get here and not for the faint-hearted. The house sits 600 metres on the top of the hill. You can only park a little way down the hill and then navigate through tiny alleyways over cobbled paths to get here. Not too big a deal unless you are carrying heavy bags or groceries, which we have on a number of occasions.  You can't complain really because the view to the sea is stunning and worth every step and almost twisted ankle. 😂 Where is Albania anyway? Nestled in the Balkans between Italy and Greece wi

Must Do Sydney Walk - Top Sydney Walk For Harbour Views

-
Image
  As a local Sydneysider, I never get tired of this walk or this view. Today I was thinking how incredible this would be for a visitor to our beautiful city. It's an easy walk with loads of cafes and eateries or picnic spots along the way as well as a few must-do detours. You could do it in a couple of hours walk or even make a day of it.   What you'll need: Water bottle Opal Card Good walking shoes  Snacks or money for a coffee Start: Wynyard Station End: Circular Quay Distance: Around 7km 1.  Wynyard Exit 1 to Wynyard Park 2. City Turn right and walk down York. Just before Grosvenor, cross over York at the light, then across Clarence at the Zebra crossing. You'll come to a walkway that goes under the road. Follow is through to Kent street. Walk down Kent until you come to the Observatory Hill entrance on the right. It is well signed so just follow up the steps.  3. Observatory Hill Walk to the left of the Observatory buildings, you'll see Barrangaroo and Crown Casino
