When London Bridge came down
Now called London Arch, the rock formation on Victoria’s Shipwreck Coast near Port Campbell was once known as London Bridge because of its similarity to London’s famous bridge. That is until an afternoon in 1990 when the arch connecting it … Continue reading When London Bridge came down

Dando’s Campground
In the heart of the Otway Ranges and 12kms from Gellibrand, the road into Dando’s Campground is good gravel but the locals have warned us to watch for trail bikes and logging trucks as it is narrow. They also smiled … Continue reading Dando’s Campground
Is anyone home?
After reading an American blog about how often beautiful locations are marred by wall to wall RV’s I realise that we here in Australia often forget how lucky we are being able to park close to beaches or rivers or just out in the countryside.

Just off the Midland highway you’ll find the turn off to Mt Franklin. It looks a bit like a pine tree covered pimple rising out of a yellow wheat field. The road corkscrews up and around the small extinct volcano and suddenly we find ourselves in the shelter of the crater, in a wooded garden. The campsites are well marked on the grassed areas and deciduous trees shelter us. The crater rim blocks … Continue reading Mt Franklin
Cape Hillsborough
July 2016, Cape Hillsborough, Qld I bounce out of bed at 6:15 and run onto the beach with camera in hand to find that the ‘show’ has already started. Each morning rangers encourage the kangaroos and wallabies onto the beach … Continue reading Cape Hillsborough
You’ve just gotta love Queensland pubs
I have a soft spot for architecture of all types. I’m fascinated with the way housing developed differently in each state and territory of Australia to adapt to the climate and needs in each area. The soft beauty of the … Continue reading You’ve just gotta love Queensland pubs
