New Year Dream?

On January 2, 2017July 6, 2017 By jaycm6In Australia, Travel Blog 2015-16, Traveller InsightsLeave a comment

Well, getting back on to my travel blog, I am currently pulling and tidying my travel journal into a coherent book format - who knows, I might publish this year!   It could be my 2017 dream - or for you, maybe travel is that dream this coming year!? If so, please read the journal entries, …

Here in Australia we had NY almost first (NZ gets that) so was weird. Ours over and done when you got it!!! Just back from 'up the river (Murray)' for a few days this year, and me in a tent.  First night with Remmy, my great nephew and the second on my own as he …

Out last night to see the kangaroos come out at dusk, we saw about 80 just round Molly's Run, the fantastic 'b & b' where I am staying with a friend. Just four guest rooms, I am in the top room overlooking farmland leading to the sea, on the north of the island near Smith …

Leaving Oz behind!

Well, ending my Aussie leg of my travels I am currently flying out of Adelaide leaving behind family and friends once again. Tears saying bye to sister Sue with whom Ive stayed most of my 6 weeks in Adelaide, instead of trying Perth and Broome as Ive never been, and great niece and great nephews …

KI Capers Pt 3

On January 29, 2016July 6, 2017 By jaycm6In Australia, Travel Blog 2015-16Leave a comment

Day 3 Charmaine was back from Adelaide, so we hung around the house, those two never stopping with changes, repairs, watering or cooking and cleaning up. I went in to Kingscote while Paul did some bits, and had a quick wander through. We called to do bits and pieces along the way and back, like …

KI Capers (Pt 1)

So what have I been doing on Kangaroo Island, just off Adelaide via Cape Jervis? Staying with an old friend/employer from my 23 year spent in Adelaide, Paul and his partner Charmaine, at a beautiful setting Molly's Run up near Smith Bay on the north coast. About half hour out of Kingscote, a small seaside …

Too busy doing not writing!

Highlights so far have been: Diving the barrier reef on Silver Swift with my nephew, Sam, supervising the boat! I snorkelled to get me into it, then got to do two intro dives with very basic skills and holding on mostly to each other in fours with a qualified diver guide. I did have a …

Crocodiles!!!!

On December 30, 2015July 6, 2017 By jaycm6In Australia, Travel Blog 2015-16Leave a comment

One I've seen, although captive now, at 5.5 metres called Wendell who has a long term partner only about 2 metres if that! They still produce young after several years and she apparently has been a calming influence as he was taken into Crocosaurus Cove after becoming too dangerous to humans in the wild. He …

Just sitting in the rain…

Sounds silly? What about in my swimsuit, by Cairns 'sea front' by a swimming lagoon? Between the showers, coming with the imminent wet season I hit in each new place, I sunbathed in hot sun but it was often too much for a fair skinned English girl! Lounging in the deeper water, sitting by the …
