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 […]
We have had a few days spare at home during these Christmas holidays, so we have done something we have never done before…go on some op shop crawls! One morning, we managed to visit 7 op shops, spread all over Melbourne…had no plans as such…just kind of random exploring as one thing Melbourne has plenty […]
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the gorgeous children’s book, Little Dog and the Christmas Wish, and that this book was chosen as the theme for the famous Myer Christmas Windows in Melbourne.

Sadly, we haven’t been able to get close to the windows but on the weekend, we were […]
So, today is my birthday…another year survived with only a few bumps along the way! Which also it means I am officially in my mid forties…yep, I am now 45…how on earth did that happen? It is so true that when you get round this age, you begin to wonder where did the years go…and […]
