Happy New Year to anyone reading this. May you travel safely, peacefully and enjoyably in 2024. I'm still working my way through posting some of the adventures Karen and I had in New South Wales and Queensland in 2023 as well as our travels in Germany, Italy and France on my other blog BornToTravel69 Now …
Well, it's finally about to happen, we are heading off soon to Europe again. Back in 2019 we booked a trip to Europe but due to two years of Covid lockdowns in greater Melbourne and a few family events, good and bad, we haven't managed to leave Australia since. What will we be doing and …
Even though winter is upon us taking a walk is always on our agenda. So when our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants Society group organised a walk at Bunarong Park in Frankston we were interested to join in. The tricky bit is that there are not a lot of car parking spaces there so we made …
Ever since we had seen Attila Kapitany do a presentation about Australian desert plants for our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants group a few years back we had wanted to visit the garden he and his wife Michele have created out at Narre Warren North.

Days 1 and 2 Between Easter and Karen’s birthday we took a quick trip up to Sydney. Back in January I’d secured flights with frequent flyer points during a sale. We flew up on the Friday afternoon. Our flight had been a morning one but of course QANTAS sent us a message the day before …
Queensland Footy Trip At the end of last year my best mate, Phil, and his wife, Dorothy, retired to the north of Brisbane from Melbourne. They kept asking us when we would come up and visit and see their new house which they had had built in the suburb of Newport. We suggested we would …
