How… Read More John Forrest National Park

Hi, everyone! This past week, I managed to finally visit Omeo Wreck, Waterman’s Bay, and made a return visit to King’s Park. I managed to fit a lot in around work!

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. I let him do the planning, so everything he had planned was a surprise to me with the exception of seeing some kind of pink lake and wildflowers. I was definitely… Read More North to Kalbarri

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
Hey, everyone! I can’t believe it’s October already. I’ve been in Australia for about a month and a half. It feels like longer than that.

Although, it gets… Read More Victoria Gardens, Bold Park, Matagarup Bridge
