Several of you have inquired how my Dad is doing after his unscheduled stop in Dubai. In case you’ve missed the news, Mum and Dad were flying home from Australia and Dad was taken ill on the flight, and rather than just the two-hour stopover expected, they ended up staying for three weeks. Paramedics were […]
One of the first cyclist I encountered in Adelaide had zip-ties attached to their helmet, making them look like……, I don’t know – silly I guess. Over the course of time, I noticed several cyclist with the same spikey adornments. I was going to have to investigate! It turns out that they are a protection […]
It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me; I’ve had visitors and trips away and life was busy for a time. I met my parents in Adelaide, who were there to catch up with their grandchildren. We spent a few days at Deep Creek Conservation Park on the Fleurieu Peninsula which lies a couple […]
There is one more week left of BeckyB’s Square in September challenge with the theme In The Pink. The only rule is that your photograph has to be square. Give it a go! I love playing with my camera especially with a macro lens. It’s all about experimenting and having some fun. I just so […]

It stretches along the bank of the Brisbane river and is a cracking spot to spend some leisure time. There is a 1km walkway shaded by a galvanised steel arbour which is covered in bougainvillea […]
I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up the pace of posting one photo a day for a whole month, even with the assistance of the schedule button. So now I’m playing catch up with Becky’s square photo challenge with the subject of pink. Here is the Caper White Butterfly on something pink and […]
When Chief and I spent a holiday in Penang we visited Penang Hill. This is where scores of lovers have secured their love for each other at Love Lock, Penang Hill. Cropping the photograph to a square has meant missing the full impact of how far the padlocks stretch but you can see that from this […]
Those of you who have been following this Wombat for a while will know that in March 2017, my lovely Dad was awarded the MBE for services to charity and his community. I flew back to the UK to be one of his guests at the palace – yes, that is Buckingham Palace. It was […]
