March 14, 2010 by textile
On Saturday we went bushwalking with our friend Elaine to the Valley of the Waters. It sounds like something out of The Legend of Zelda huh?

January 27, 2010 by textile
Since just after Christmas our house has had regular visits from a lone dingo.

December 30, 2009 by textile
Its the middle of summer but the mountains are covered in mist and I sit here at the kitchen table rugged up wondering where the warmth went. But I’ve ventured out into the chill to revisit the Pope’s Glen walking track and Twin Falls and found the grey landscape to be as full of magic [...]

Along the isthmus runs a rough gravel, sand and rock strewn path stretching 10 km through hanging swamp, dense bush, and then… almost nothing at all. At points, the track drops off and sheet cliff faces [...]
