  • Louee - Dads Early Morning Hike

    July 11 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 3 °C

    I’ve looked at this mountain many times and thought I’d like to climb to the top. So early Saturday morning in the dark I got up, lit the fire, had a coffee, took a dump and then left at first light.
    On the way up I stumbled across two big pigs sleeping under a rock, I scared them and they scared me 😂.
    As I approached the top, the mist moved in and I couldn’t see a thing. I waited a while and explored all over it. There were a massive family of goats living on it which was pretty cool and heaps or lushes grass growing on the rocks like a secret garden that only the goats could climb to. There was also goat shit everywhere but I suppose it’s acting like garden fertiliser and maybe why the grass was so lush and green.
    It was a really nice way to start the day and…..
    Mountain conquered ✅

  • Louee - New Bike and Friendy Fox

    July 10 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Out with the old and in with the new!
    Brax finally got his upgrade after selling the KX85, and wow did he score a beautiful KTM250 that is pretty much brand new. He was also wrapped it comes with electric start, traction control and wet and dry track tuning modes that he can switch between while riding.
    On our way to Louee, we stopped in the Bylong Valley to toast some of Lauren’s home made banana bread and we were greeted by a very friendly fox and cat that also enjoyed banana bread too 😜

  • Gem no 2

    June 13 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    I finished my second stone a while ago, I just didn’t get around to taking any photos.
    On this stone I made many mistake and every session things just kept going wrong! I nearly gave up on it! But with mistakes come learning, so even know things kept going wrong, on this stone I also learnt the most!

    Stone 2 : Smokey Quartz

    It is very tricky to get a good photo! Something I need to work on perfecting.

  • No Kids for the Night!

    May 16 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Lauren and I had planned to head up the state forest camping in the swag but supposedly it was going to rain so we opted to take the dog out to the island in the tinny and the weather was amazing. There were heaps of jellyfish out sunning themselves too.
    After that we had a campfire, Prosecco and nibbles followed by an $8 cheap bag of rice paper rolls for dinner and a movie. Not a bad way to spend a kid free evening 😊

  • Free Flight ANZAC Long Weekend

    April 25 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Another great weekend spent motorbike riding, cooking pizza’s and camping.
    Brax towelled the old man up on the sand track riding Finn’s KTM 250 SXF, apparently it’s time for an ungraded.
    Lachlans bike didn’t stop all weekend.
    Shaun bought Lyla a new bike and we worked most afternoons modifying Shaun’s trailer, adding a tie down bar, lockable tool box, and rust killing it. It turned out great.
    Shauns kids had a ball and they hardly got off their bikes, only for food and toilet breaks. We had to usher them in last thing so we could put their bikes on the trailer and leave for home.
    The Nevstad’s behaved and it was nice to have no hospital trips this time, it’s always very fun camping with them.
    Now it’s time to start planning the next trip away……

  • Silversmithing School

    March 27 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Silversmithing is something I have wanted to learn for a while now. After attending a few sessions at the Lapidary Club and getting a taste for it, I enrolled in a more intensive 4 day course at Warnervale.

    Day one: today was a skills based session, we learnt to solder and we practised and practised and practised.

    Day two: we made a stamped ring, from start to finish. Unfortunately, I forgot to take some before photos, so I only have then end product.

    Day three: bezel set ring. For this one I got to use one of the star sapphires we found in Sapphire. I was the only one in the group who completed each step myself 🤓💕. I made this ring to fit my stacker rings I made previously.

    Day four: finishing the bezel ring and bonus activity of melting silver into balls and stamping them! We turned the biggest one into a pendant, which I made to match my ring.

  • Newcastle - Pre Wedding

    March 21 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    We arrived early in Newcastle keen to make the most of the day. The weather wasn’t forecast to be great but it turned out fantastic, very sunny and hot.
    We booked a king room at The Grand Royal which is an old pub with plenty of character and we even had a spectacular balcony.
    We lakes the beach and the streets, had a nice breakfast, swam at the beach (the water was soo warm), and picked up Prosecco and nibbles to have while getting ready.
    This was a great way to prepare for the wedding 😊

    March 14 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    Headed out and found some very hidden Adelaide bars. Pete had a 65% rum on the rocks, we all had cocktails, fiery tribal drinks, pizza n wings to soak it up before heading home. Maybe next time we do the food first 😂
    Trip home was long but good, very tired when we arrived home, but all well worth the extra days 😎
