Last weekend, we decided to go for a short road trip to Bridgewater, so we could do one of our favourite walks. Bridgewater is only about 50km from home so we go there fairly often. It’s been an extra special destination in these covid times, each time we’ve come out of lockdown. Walking along the […]
Mulga Bill Walking Track – Eaglehawk
Mulga Bill’s Bicycle As long as I can remember, I’ve loved Banjo Paterson’s poem, Mulga Bills Bicycle. When my children were young they had the Mulga Bill’s Bicycle children’s book with its amazing drawings. All three loved the book, with it often being the bedtime story of choice. I really couldn’t say how many times […]

2021 Year of Health – Fit February
Looking Back to January My theme for 2021 is #YearofHealth, and my plan is to have a theme of the month for each month of the year. January was Less Sugar. I’d say the less sugar plan worked well, overall. In the first few days, I had slight headaches, presumably through sugar withdrawal, but they […]

Murray to Mountains Rail Trail
We made the decision to visit family at Myrtleford, last weekend. which is at the base of the Victorian High Country, and surrounded by mountains which are snow covered in winter. It’s a beautiful part of the world, about three hours drive by car from our house, that I never tire of visiting. We had […]
