Tuesday 3rd May There was no early walk today as we had a day tour with a scheduled 7.45 am pick up. This turned out to be 8.45 though due to bus issues. The trip today was operated by Emu Run Experience and was out exploring the west MacDonnell ranges. The first stop was… More
Monday 2nd May It was a beautiful sunny morning and so Mark headed off for an early bike ride and I took a walk into town. Town was nothing like I had expected: there were very few walkers out and about and very few cars on the road. Rather strange for a Monday morning… More

Tuesday 26th April Mark and I are off to central Australia for a week. It’s a trip I wasn’t all that keen on taking and as it turns out, our Uber cancelled at the last minute to get us to the airport, and so we very nearly didn’t take it. The T2 terminal at the… More
