Brisbane

Nice relaxed vibe in Brisbane. No rushing, just enjoying my apartment and the sub-tropical rain 😎

Looks lovely , bet you're having to pinch yourself , lots of love Fliss x
Brisbane River and GOMA
18 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
GOMA - Gallery of Modern Art on the South Bank, a really lovely area of paths, boardwalks, concert venues, art galleries, a big wheel, all sorts! All through rainforest and tropical planting. The landЧитать далее
Roma St Parkland and Lone Pine Koalas
20 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌧 23 °C
Top recommendation - Roma Street Parkland, complete with flying foxes (1m wingspan!) Bit of a shock after growing up with pipistrelles.
Totally touristy day today taking a river cruise to the LoneЧитать далее
Byron Bay Arrival
21 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Feet in the Pacific for the first time ... might be just the tiniest bit excited 😃😎
Much simpler accommodation. No aircon, no en suite and no kitchenette (complete with dishwasher !), but I getЧитать далее
'Bluebottle' encounter
23 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
I hired a bodyboard this morning - the surf is great - up to about 3' cresting waves (enough for me) even in waist deep water (safe 😉 ). Thought I brushed against some seaweed, that's my Irish SeaЧитать далее

They can be, mostly if you are a young child and your torso gets wrapped in the tentacles.
Cape Byron and a wallaby
25 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Bit overcast and cooler this morning so I took a track round Cape Byron. Saw dolphins ... amazing...maybe 30 or more around Watego's Beach, then followed the path up to the most easterly point inЧитать далее
Sarah BerthelemyWhat a great trip out! This Holiday's turning into a wildlife- fest :-)
Sarah Berthelemy
Me and Mark got the watchful silent treatment from a bunch of wallabies once. In the Cotswold Wildlife Park. It must be what they do :-)
Tallow Beach and Arakwal National Park
26 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Tallow Beach at the Cape Byron end seems to be THE place for serious surfing, so that means the rest of the beach is nearly deserted. South of the car park is the Arakwal National Park, which isЧитать далее

Early morning snorkelling trip to Julian Rocks which is an important site for the Bundjalung nation.
"There are several important Dreaming stories associated with Julian Rocks.
In one story,Читать далее
Debbie and the Creatures
30 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
It's impossible to capture the wetness of the day as the remnants of Cyclone Debbie pass through. So far Byron Bay has got off lightly though the forecast is for much stronger winds overnight. A fewЧитать далее

How big is this lizard? I was imagining a little, cute thing about 4" long - but this looks bigger than that. And it lives under your cabin???
Surf's Up!
31 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌬 21 °C
Today in Byron there are loads of surfers taking advantage of the high seas, and loads of photographs taking advantage of the number of surfers!

Time to sit back and chill 🙄 Green Coast lager going down nicely. There's another challenge to my daily budget!
This is no laughing matter!
3 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
I felt a little disheartened this morning, the weather hasn't really picked up after last week and as well as plenty of heavy showers it's cold! Of course that's relative, but I just couldn't thinkЧитать далее
Today's animal: Red-bellied black snake
4 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Well I took a walk to try to find Cumbebin Swamp boardwalk. There are one or two vague references on the internet but nothing very precise, and all several years old so I'm beginning to suspect it mayЧитать далее
Final day in Byron Bay
6 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
It was an absolutely beautiful morning, warm and not too breezy so I was able to get back in the sea on my final day here - so happy. It does my soul good.
Visibility is great so there's an amazingЧитать далее
The kookaburra speaks!

The recycling bin lorry came doing its daily empty soon after first light at 5:45. Beep beep beep, crash! No need for an alarm clock here.
Then something that sounded like chimps going crazy …Читать далее
Murray, Darling?
8 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
I love looking at the lie of the land from a plane, how land is divided up, regularity of plots, irrigation, that sort of thing. Had a great flight from Brisbane to Adelaide today and was transfixedЧитать далее

The Murray River, flowing R to L (E to W) with the Darling River joining just downstream of the oxbow lake, and the confluence with the Great Darling Anabranch downstream again.

Another striking wiggly stretch of the Murray near Cullulleraine, with added flooding
Adelaide
9 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Done it. Tried Vegemite. Had the same impact on me as Marmite - broadly harmless but unnecessary.
The place I'm staying provides breakfast - cereal (you need your own milk), bread, spreads, and aЧитать далее
Heading Bush Day 1 - Warren Gorge

Here goes ... Day 1 of my 10 day 4WD bush adventure from Adelaide to Alice Springs with the wonderful http://headingbush.com.au/

Packing up the van after our first night in swags (piled by the van) in Warren Gorge. Toilet? Pick a tree 😁
Heading Bush Day 2 to Brachina Gorge
11 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Spent the day around the Flinders Ranges, first around the Simmonston Plain which I loved for the wide open space. Simmonston is 'the town that never' was because the proposed route of the originalЧитать далее
Heading Bush Day 3 and dingo country
12 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
As if Day 2 wasn't amazing enough, Day 3 was even better!
Had an early stop at Copley for quandong cheesecake. Quandong is related to lychee but much less fleshy. Tasty enough, esp with a cuppa!Читать далее
Heading Bush Day 4 - Coober Pedy opals
13 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Great start to the day with our first dingo sighting.
Then stopped in William Creek to look at the memorial park which has the first stage of a rocket used to launch British satellite 'Prospero' fromЧитать далее
Heading Bush Day 5 - Northern Territory
14 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Up really early - soon after 4am rather than the normal 5:30 (gotta make use of all the daylight!) to get to the Painted Desert for sunrise. Beautiful. Followed by the Rainbow Serpent Creation walk.Читать далее
Heading Bush Day 6 - Uluru
15 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Brill! We got to do almost all the Uluru base walk. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. The rock surface is rougher and the whole rock craggier than the impression I'd got from the usual shots. It'sЧитать далее
Heading Bush Day 7 - Kata Tjuta
16 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Packed up camp before dawn to head to a viewpoint towarda Kata Tjuta and, in the other direction Uluru, for sunrise. Followed by the Valley of the Winds walk as far as the second lookout point.Читать далее
