I have been living with no internet connection for the most part of a week. Let me tell you, it sucks.  I can quite happily go tech free for weeks at a time when we’re camping. At home it’s different though. There a lots of things I need to be distracted from here.  Like ironing. [...]

OK, it’s really a lesson in not getting ahead of myself.  It began in the wee hours of this morning and involved our dog.  Our dog has a habit of teaching me lessons. Damned dog. He’s a mini schnauzer, although you probably wouldn’t guess that by looking at him.  He sports a very bad home [...]

There’s been a quiet discord sizzling in our family of five.  It bubbles to the surface on weekends.  ”Who do you ‘team’ for?”, is the question in everyone’s lips*.  For eight years, The Thinker has been attempting to recruit one of the kids to his side. The Dark Side. The Blues. For eight years he’s [...]

With all the hoo ha happening in the world in the midst of Eyjafjallajökull (yes, I copied & pasted the name!) erupting, I thought it timely to remind the world (or my limited readership, anyway) that Australia, too, has seen it’s share of volcanic action.  Unfortunately, at the time there were no news crews and [...]

Lake King, Gippsland

April 18, 2010
Lake King, Gippsland

This is the beautiful view that greeted us each morning on our recent stay at Eagle Point in East Gippsland (south eastern Victoria).  Lake King is part of the Gippsland Lakes system.  Just around the corner from here the Mitchell River flows peacefully into the lake. Makes it worth getting up early in the morning. [...]

Over Easter we piled into the car and took the caravan down to Eagle Point, in Gippsland.  As always, the kids were very excited about going away.  Perhaps even moreso this time, because we managed to squeeze their bikes into the car. Eagle Point was a great central location for exploring east Gippsland and the [...]
