A mecca for the surfers. So many great waves and a regular swell it seems. Great fishing. Rock hopping. So much fun to see the ocean crashing over the waves. A very impressive little village. I imagine it gets busy in the school holidays and summer though! Best to go…

Such an interesting place. Mines, sunsets, art galleries (above and below ground), thermal pool open all hours, nice cafes, warm and comfortable temperatures in late Autumn. A recommended stop for a few days. Love watching the sunset on the open plains. Get a nice seat, a cool drink, and sit…

A reward for getting up early. Seeing the sun rise on Rainbow Beach. Look south toward Noosa Heads. Beautiful. The beach that is a road too. For the 4WD enthusiasts. For those who just love a beautiful place. Expansive. Serene. Colourful. And nearby is the many waterways, more protected, of…

I grew up in the north east of Melbourne. Not need the ocean or the beach. Never knew this view. Nice to see this different perspective. A growing and expanding city. The Dandenongs further to the east. the large Port Phiilip Bay. My home town. The western suburbs becoming gentrified….

It is also common that people can report how they felt when they experienced those moments in time. So it will be today and in recent…

Not much! Maybe not at first glance. I just wanted to post a pretty picture. However… Check out the foot prints on the beach. Soon they will disappear, either via tide, or wind, or further human traipsing. Contrast with the moon. Apparently, all those footprints from just the twelve men…

As an older person privileged enough to have witnessed humanity’s first steps on the moon (via black and white TV of course), I remain in awe of that program. In two days, it is fifty years since that occurred. It was certainly an amazing achievement by the Americans and NASA…

The view from Mt Oberon, near Tidal River, Wilsons Promontory, Victoria. Australia. “The Prom” is the southern most edge of mainland Australia, with the great island of Tasmania to the south across Bass Strait. In the age of the digital camera, I have so wanted to return to this spectacular…

After preparing my last post, and commenting on the benefits of just being in nature, I was reminded of our wonderful trip to Kangaroo Island, in South Australia. A gentle reminder to all, to not just get out in nature, but work each day to preserve it. I trust you…
