From 202 onward, travel figures to be a much bigger part of our life. Those posts will go here. All my travelling features A LOT of photography, though I take quite a few other pics too.
Probably the only place from our trip to Australia I wouldn’t want to visit again, Canberra does have some nice cultural stuff and good beer. This was leg four of our trip, four nights in the Australian capital. Overall Impressions Canberra was our least-favourite stop on the whole trip. We still managed to see some wildlife, enjoy some really good … Read more
Our second week in Australia was spent in Brisbane, Bundaberg and Noosa. A real study in contrasts, this leg of the trip saw a river city, sub-tropical beaches, turtles, Great Barrier Reef and snorkelling.

For the most part, the move’s … Read more

That post was reasonably light on words and very heavy on photos. I’m hoping this will be a shorter and lighter weight post. After our time on the west coast of Vancouver Island, we were spending … Read more
This post will likely be of little interest to anyone other than us, since it’s strictly to document part one of our week-long vacation up Vancouver Island to the Pacific Rim. Mind you, there are a couple decent pics, so if you’ll be hitting Ucluelet-Tofino you may want to have a peek. Of note, we have an older dog with … Read more
