Hi, everyone, and happy new year! I can’t believe 2022 is over. What a year it had been. Before the year ended, I was finally able to see a dugite – one of the many venomous snakes here in Australia.

Hi, everyone! Unfortunately, this week’s post won’t be quite as interesting as last week’s trip to Kalbarri but it’s gotta be a balance, right?

Whiteman Park… Read More Whiteman Park, Drag Bingo, and Comedy Shows
Roadtrip to Geraldton I took a few days off work to go on a road trip up north to Kalbarri with my friend Jason.

Hi, everyone! On my days off work this week, I went hiking at Lesmurdie Falls and went snorkeling at Mettam’s Pool.

Sure enough, Lesmurdie was… Read More Lesmurdie Falls and Mettam’s Pool
