This week, we ticked another must do off our list…the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk…and I have to admit that it nearly killed me! This Kokoda track is not the one in Papua New Guinea…it is located in the Dandenong Ranges National Park at Mt Dandenong….about a 45 minutes drive from the city. The track was […]

I live with a few issues which can really ruin my day…my week…my month…today is such a day and I admit that I am feeling sorry for myself. I have no thyroid…removed due to cancer…which means I find I have to manage my energy levels carefully. A big day or a late night can wipe […]
Today is the inaugural DonateLife Thank You Day…a national day to acknowledge organ and tissue donors and families that agreed to donation.
