The road from Adelaide to Coober Pedy – Making our way to Central Australia
The big question we had when we first decided to do this trip was fly or drive.
The trip has begun, first stop, Adelaide
This trip hasn’t seemed liked one that I have been waiting a long time for, probably because it doesn’t seem that long ago that I said to my friend, “I’ll go with you”.
The things you find from the past
I finally made it up to my mum’s place. It has to be almost 3 years since I was here last. I think it is the longest gap between visits.
Visiting the Old Beechworth Gaol
I have mentioned before that on my trip to Beechworth we also went to the Old Beechworth Gaol (jail).
Driving on Gorge Road around Beechworth
It seems there are always lots of places to go when you visit a new place, except where you live. For some reason not much where I live. It can seem quite boring.
Flowers to remember others by
Today is ANZAC day. That is our main memorial day to remember all those that fought in a war and also those that died.
Is it premature to plan some trips away yet?
I’ve tried planning trips before and then lockdowns happened. The trip was postponed. We planned again, another lockdown. In the end, we gave up.
Early morning on the Savannah at Werribee Zoo
I had a lovely morning on Sunday as I got up early and went to the Werribee Zoo where I toured the Savannah.
A day out to movie country – Winton Wetlands
Yeah, you read that right, it was movie country. While we were there we were surrounded by film crews as they got ready for a film shoot later in the day.
Trying to make hot cross buns
It is coming up to Easter and here in Australia, that means hot cross buns. As soon as Christmas is done you can find them in the supermarkets.
Adding to our solar with a battery
Getting solar panels on your house is a great thing to do. Especially if you care about the environment and have a government that seems hellbent on forcing people to continue to use fossil fuel […]
Is this the death of Solar in Australia?
They have been talking about it for a while now, but it seems the laws are being put in place that will mean we can be charged a SUN TAX for feeding power into the […]
Not always proud to be Australian
As I am writing this it is Australia Day here. It is a post I always struggle with each year because I’m not sure it is right.
Pre-planning trips, or trying too
How many times have you gone somewhere to take photos and then realised that it was the wrong time of the day, or the wrong season, or the wrong something?
Photography in lockdown
It is an interesting concept and one that I spoke about in my last post. When you are in lockdown trying to work out what to do can be hard.
Sometimes it isn’t worth getting out of bed
We all know that saying and really sometimes it is so true. That is how I felt on a trip into the city recently to take some photos.
Photography trips in between lockdowns
It has been a while and I thought I was getting back into everything again, but then we went into lockdown again. I don’t know what it was about this last one, but it really […]
Back in lockdown
So it would seem. Melbourne has had yet another outbreak of Coronavirus and because it is a very virulent strain, apparently, they have put us back into lockdown.
Trying something new
For many years now I have resisted the idea of using a drone, but now I’m starting to wonder if I should give it a go.
It almost seems like it is back to normal
Trying to get back out to take photos now that Covid seems to be in control here.
