Horsing around in Wanaka

Riding the horses you can see the very start of spring, up close the wild fruit trees have buds just 
waiting to burst into flower, the creeks are starting to swell and the wild rose bushes are budding.  

Accidental red run

We headed back to base, I found the amazing Akadio and advised her that I wanted to be skiing advanced runs upright within the hour.  She smiled politely and then I tripped over getting into the line for the lift…. 

Singing toilets in Wanaka

I duck into the public loo, one of those self cleaning metal cubes that make me slightly nervous that the door is going to open halfway through my business.  I press the open for button and am advised that I have 10 minutes to finish my business before the door opens…. then music starts playing.

Lady Aurora

Energy was cracking across the sky like a whip, it felt like a great thunderous storm should have been rattling the windows but the silence was deafening, a silent storm.

Melbourne to Papunya Day 2

We arrived about an hour before sunset, setting up camp in time to enjoy a glass of wine before sunset

Melbourne to Papunya Day 1

A quick stop in the outskirts of Mildura for some fruit and veg to supplement the chicko rolls over the next few days!!

OMG we bought a camper trailer

…Considering we nearly got divorced last time we set up a tent, the investment in an easy to assemble camper trailer alternative seemed to be wise

The beautiful face of Phuket

Lying flat on the kayak and pulling ourselves along with our hands, we can slid through the cave system to emerge into the bright lagoon

So how was it?

Spending time with people who have an adventurous spirit, who pursue experiences and are interested in peoples stories, the world around them and the way that they interact with it. People with amazing resilience, courage and the capacity to step up to a challenge.
