It’s been 10 years since our first visit to this lovely playground. It was called Pimelea Playspace in those days, and was and is a terrific feature of the huge Western Sydney Parklands. This is a wonderful area for a big picnic, the facilities are really terrific. But the kids will also enjoy coming for […]
Th pool of reflection Sydney is full of beautiful surprises, and Auburn Botanic Gardens is one of those. After reading some good reviews about Auburn Botanic Gardens, I decided to the gardens out. I was a bit sceptical, as the surroundings of Auburn are quite industrial. But I found that the gardens are lovely, they […]
Wizzy World has closed but hopefully will re-open in new premises. This is an old post about Willoughby Wizzy World – kept for the memories!! Ah, the joy I have felt whilst sitting firmly on my bottom, drinking a coffee and watching my children play! Wizzy World is pretty close to where we live, not […]
Since the last of my boisterous bairns started school, our visits to playgrounds have reduced in number – and I miss the exploring! Our weekends can get really busy, with lots of sports, ballet, teenagers working and playing gigs. It’s all very different. I do miss exploring Sydney’s many fantastic playgrounds like we used to.

The famous blowhole at Kiama Kiama is a beautiful coastal village with spectacular beaches, nestled amongst green hills, surrounded by bucolic farmland and scenic rainforests. As soon as you leave Shellharbour, you will notice that the landscape starts to change. The scenery reminds me of the scenery inland from Coffs Harbour. The contrast of the green […]
Hooray! I took the twins to Speers Point playground and we had a fabby time! It really is a magnificent play space. It’s just huge with all sorts of great play equipment. And a cafe has just opened up. It’s called Sal’s and the number is 49081108. Heaven! We took lots of photos and I’ve […]
Is it only me or does everyone gnash their teeth when they read how long a journey should take… then compare it to how long it actually does take when you’ve got kids in the car? I read in several places that the road trip from Sydney to Canberra would take three to three and a […]
Here’s the good news! I just got a High Distinction for a design and photography assignment on smoothies. And that’s why I’ve been updating posts and adding in a couple of new ones. Hooray! And, guess what, I just had a green smoothie for breakfast. I’m on a roll. A sensational smoothie slurpfest. So in […]
We’re fortunate to live in a cul de sac in the bush. Garigal National Park is our backyard and some beautiful misty mornings, the trees completely take our breath away. Natural spaces are so good for us all, it’s been proven that living amongst nature improves mental health, physical health and even symptoms of ADHD in […]

This is such a cool idea, a weatherproof book showing lots of sea creatures. It’s at Long Reef beach, see map below. Long Reef Aquatic Reserve is here, one of only 12 aquatic reserves around NSW. You can read all about Long Reef Aquatic Reserve here. The rules and regulations for reserves are clearly stated […]
Just a quickie today, a small but loud proclamation. I love Scrivener!! Until now I have written in Word or Pages, but I kept hearing about Scrivener from other writers and bought the software earlier this year. And now I am using it for this little Superfoods book and finding it so, so much better […]
So what do you do at Jervis Bay on a rainy day? Yes, I know, it’s a horrifying prospect, but we cannot tell a lie. The weather is bad occasionally at Jervis Bay. Sad but true. We often pack all the kids in the car and scoot up the road to the Bay and Basin […]
