Cronulla Rockpools
Place: Cronulla
Where: Sydney
Monday 2 April 2018 – Easter Monday.
The best part of this time of year, just after the end of daylight saving, is that you can have a bit of a sleep-in and still see the sunrise. It was a race against the clock to get there in time, mind you, but well worth it.
The sky lit up all pastel pink and bright orange.
I’m still getting used to my new camera but happy with the early results.

- Cape Bailey Coastal Walk Place: Cape Bailey Where: Cronulla The Cape Baily Coastal Walk takes you from Kurnell to Cronulla. The path lines the incredible sandstone cliffs – the ones you see when you fly into Sydney over the ocean. The national park was recently affected by a large bush fire. That occurred last Father’s Day in September, and even at Easter in April, there was plenty of evidence of the fire’s intensity and extent. The walk is a mix of formed paths, sandstone slabs and sand. The formed walkways, using a raised grate over sensitive areas, appear pretty random […]
- Canberra Balloon Spectacular Place: Canberra Where: ACT Call me crazy. Who does a road trip to Canberra and back – all before midday? We hit the road at the ridiculous time of 3am, heading south to the national capital before sunrise for the annual Balloon Spectacular.
- Christmas In Sydney Place: Pitt Street Where: Sydney The most wonderful time of the year… even with the light rail construction tearing up the street.
- Figure of Eight Pools Where: Royal National Park, Sydney This is one of those places I’ve been wanting to visit for some time. It’s been around for a long time but is amazingly popular thanks to a multitude of Facebook and Instagram posts. It’s not easy to get to and the warnings on the official National Parks website are pretty clear. Freak waves, regular injuries, remote rescue and an ‘extremely challenging’ walk to and from the isolated site. We timed our tip to coincide with low tide, as recommended. You have to do this. If there are waves crashing over the rocks, […]
- Bouddi National Park Where: Central Coast, NSW Sydney and New South Wales have so many spectacular coastal and seaside walks – whether it’s the iconic Bondi to Bronte walk, the Spit to Many walk, or the Seacliff Bridge, we truly are spoilt for options. One we haven’t done before is the Bouddi National Park coastal walk. Setting off from a little beach called Putty Beach near Killcare, the walk heads along the beach and clifftops, taking in amazing views of the coastline. I imagine it would have been even more spectacular just a week earlier when there was rough seas, […]
- You know that old ad, where the woman is rolling a big ball of string around Victoria? The tagline was "You'll Love Every Piece Of Victoria". This past weekend it was like we were living the ad - from the Yarra Valley and Melbourne to the beautiful wintery surrounds of Daylesford.
- Vivid Sydney 2017 Sydney Australia It’s the annual light show held around Sydney – and always a fantastic time of the year to venture into the city. It must be a real challenge pulling together something like Vivid, making sure that it builds upon the previous year and isn’t seen as just the same old stuff. Hard going when you’re dealing with displays on the Opera House and Bridge. But once again, they’ve done it. The city looks amazing. Sadly though the vibe around the city seemed a little bit different this year, mainly because of the threat of terrorism. […]
- Sydney Sunset Where: Mrs Macquarie’s Chair A bit of smoke in the air, a bit of cloud and a balmy Autumn evening in Sydney. I joined the masses at Mrs Macquarie’s Chair for sunset. While it was by no means the most amazing sunset I’ve ever seen in Sydney, it was a beautiful sight at the sun went down and the lights came on around the Harbour.
