I mused during my morning commute, as I people watched, the lost art of conversation. Most of them either had headphones in, eyes glazed over listening intently to music/ podcasts or there were some without headphones mindlessly scrolling through their phones. I mentally match-made young couples from what info I could easily gather using only…

Bibbulman, musings at 200kms..
As I walk, everything passes me by. The ever-changing bushland, wildflowers, bird life, huts. Sometimes just a blur of green, browns and greys in my peripherals.

Oodnadatta track & the wonderful William Creek
Most Aussies have “Driving across Australia” on their bucket list. I’m not a bucket list kind of girl, but when the opportunity arose late last year, during a work stint in Sydney, to drive home to Perth with one of my best friends — saying no didn’t even enter my mind. We planned very little,…
