Let Me Tell You a Story.
Like many of you, I grew up in an Australian neighbourhood not too far from the city, knowing only one or two Aboriginal people. So when a few years ago, I drove across the country and had to refill at a petrol station in a remote Aboriginal community where bowsers were in locked cages and…

Half way through the year and 11 camping adventures down!
I love camping. The rawness & simplicity make my soul sing and when we (casually) promised ourselves at the beginning of the year that we would camp every second weekend… I was hopeful we would at least get out once a month. Well, it’s August and we are thirty-two weekends down, and have stayed at…

Chase the Sun. Camping at Gnaraloo plus beauty / food essentials for women.
I am solar powered, and wintertime withers me. I live and work in a beautiful city called Perth, in Western Australia, which if you’ve never heard of it, has hot summers and fairly mild cold days in comparison to other places. Nevertheless, after my first winter holiday to the north in 2015 I was hooked, and…
