Friday 29th April It was our last morning at Sails in the Desert, Uluru and so we took the opportunity to have a leisurely lie in. This was enthusiastically embraced given that our first two mornings involved wake up alarms set for 5 and 4.45 am respectively. Mark collected the car next from the… More
Thursday 28th April It was a struggle to get up to the 4:45 am alarm today. With hindsight, I wouldn’t organise two sunrise tours back to back, anywhere, ever again. This morning’s tour was out to Kata Tjuta, or what some people will remember as being referred to as ‘The Olgas’. Our first stop was… More
Wednesday 27th April Our alarm was set for 5 am, to wake us for our 5. 45 am pick up for our Uluru sunrise tour and base walk, but it really wasn’t needed. Knowing we had an early start I was pretty much awake nearly every hour, on the hour, so that I gave up… 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
Saturday April 2nd It was a beautiful sunny morning for our last day in Burleigh Heads. Mark went for a last ride and I went for a walk before we caught up for our last Burleigh coffee. We had a dip in the pool before setting off towards Southwest rocks and stopped for lunch,… More
Sunday March 27th It was our first morning in Burleigh Heads and our 41st wedding anniversary and so mark joined me on a morning walk. The forecast had been for rain but we luckily just had a bit of cloud. The high humidity meant for a rather clammy walk though and so I headed home… More
Saturday March 26th The forecast had been for rain so we were pleasantly surprised to wake to clear skies, albeit being a little cloudy. We headed out for a walk through the Botanic Gardens and the city before heading back to the hotel pool. We were hoping to have a morning swim and some pool… More
The W Hotel, Brisbane March 25th Today was our last day in Noosa and it just so happened to be my birthday so Mark joined me on a walk for our last morning. We had a coffee at Aromas before heading to the beach for a final swim and then to the pool to relax… More
Noosa Monday March 21st Our day started as per usual, with Mark on a bike ride and me having a walk. We met up for a coffee on the main street before getting on the road to make our way to Noosa. We had an hour up the highway to Coolangatta to have breakfast… More
On the way to Noosa This trip to Noosa and Burleigh heads was one that we sandwiched together following cancellations in 2021 due to Covid. They were separate trips initially but, when rescheduled, we sandwiched them together. Colleen and David were to be joining us for the Noosa section and Ali and Brett for part… More
