Celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary - 2016

May 3rd 2018
Just as well we had come for a relaxing holiday as, next morning, we were up at 5am for our 3.5km “bushwalk” which was really a hike, whichever way you wanted to look at it! 😊 Larry Quintal was our guide – 6th generation “Bounty” mutineer descendant. With tongue-in-cheek and a twinkle in his eye, he said, “you Australians are descendants of convicts but, there is no convict blo ... read more

Travelblog: (worldmapmaker=369891) Addictions come in many forms. For us – it’s always been travel. Whether it be a week here and there holidaying in Oz with family or travelling the world to far-flung and exotic places. We have been very fortunate to have visited many countries throughout the world as well as also having seen much of Australia by trains, planes and automobiles (and also motorhome) but, still lots more to see. We haven’t even scratched the surface of this vast, magnificent country of ours. Our children (and now also grand-children) also share our passion ... full info

Norfolk Re-visited ...
Hi Dave, Time may have moved on but, Norfolk has retained is charm, just the same. Some things may have changed but, not the people or the stunning scenery and, the pace of life is real island life - so laid back. :) So much history there, as well which, thankfully, has been so well preserved. Australia's roots are there and, shame on us as a population, if we don't protect such places and, yes, you can still buy Norfolk Is stamps or, you could when we were there. :) Our 50th comes up in January - have our thinking caps on. Also, congratulations on your upcoming 37th. Well done! J xox
