Hi, everyone! This week, I ended up going for a hike at both Trigg Bushland and Gooseberry Hill National Park.

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.
