My way of celebrating holidays
My way of celebrating holidays has remained unchanged over the years: spending them quietly at home with family. After spending much of my life traveling—journeys that took me across the length and breadth of the country, staying in everything from luxury hotels to humble lodgings, and dining with people from all walks of life—I now relish the peace and quiet of home. I work from home and…

Gondwana on a macro scale.
Sometimes it's nice to just slow down and appreciate the little things.
Oh, and if someone could recommend a good book on fungi and mushrooms in Queensland that would be much appreciated. 😁

Even though the temperatures might be dropping, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t find a new park to have an autumn picnic! Grab some blankets, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine (or hot chocolate), and enjoy your staycation!
SOON: crazy city podcast!
Follow us for more tips on how to enjoy your staycation!

Masterpiece miniature in marble
And the dog sat on the tuckerbox
Nine miles from Gundagai.”
From the poem Nine Miles from Gundagai by Jack Moses.
I believe that it is generally conceded that the dog - ahem- pooped -in the tucker box but the story was cleaned up by Jack Moses and another bush poet Bowyang Yorke in their poems.
Anyway the Dog on the Tuckerbox is a bit of an icon and surely every traveller down the Hume has stopped and got a photo at the sculpture. And I’ll admit I may have stopped there once or twice over the years.
Today I discovered that Frank Risconi the sculptor of the Dig on the Tuckerbox has left behind an arguably significantly greater artwork- a miniature marble cathedral.
It’s on display at the Gundagai visitor centre and they ask for $3 per person to let you see it- and I assure you that is $3 well spent.
This miniature masterpiece took Risconi- whose other works include the steps at Westminster Abby by the way - 28 years to complete, working on many nights till 3 in the morning.
It was built without a drawing or a plan and assembled only on completion of all the components so it’s quite extraordinary; and it has nearly 21,000 exquisite marble components- all Australian marble- and is quite perfect at least to my untutored eye.
It’s a grand effort and probably one - like me- you haven’t heard of.
Well worth a stop next time you pass this way

Sometimes. You just gotta admit it’s too much, drop a couple of those balls and go pick up the ones you really wanna juggle. With a cancelled meeting that should never have been booked in during the summer hols we tried to get out before the heat yesterday. I walk in the trees. And play on the park & then some lunch. We are so lucky having amazing places to visit around us. #familymoments #mumof4 #morekidsthanhands #mumsofinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #momentsofmine #familytime #holidayathome #staycationuk #nottinghamshire #eastmidlands #daysoutuk @idlevalleywildlifecafe (at Idle Valley Nature Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChHEpfos2tK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1/2 MATERIAL NOTES. The warm timber stained screen perfectly houses the pool equipment behind, while the timber decking surrounding the pool is allowed to weather naturally and blend seamlessly into the concrete retaining wall running along the pool. Landscaping choices were key for that holiday-at-home feel.���⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pool #outdoors #modernhomes #rebuild #outdoorliving #holidayathome #landscaping #2099 #peninsulahomes #northernbeachesbuilder #design #construct #designandconstruct #builders #beachesbuilder #outdoors #modernhomes #outdoorliving #rebuild #landscaping #peninsulahomes #northernbeachesbuilder #design #construct #designandconstruct #builders #beachesbuilder #formedgardens #archisoul_architects @archisoul_architects @formedgardens https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TlGabnwIg/?utm_medium=tumblr

@nobeerreviews - thought this was a great quote :)
Food for thought- the places we live, the cities we see every day... Do you ever just wonder what has happened in a building? What its history is?
Follow for more stories :)

The Surf Coast Walk- from Rocky Point to Bird Rock
Today turned out to be a perfect day. The storm that swept in from the south passed quickly; and the cloud slowly dissipated allowing bright sunshine despite temperatures never exceeding 20 degrees Centigrade.
For a while we sat and watched the surfers and kite surfers at Bells Beach while we ate our sandwiches; and then we set out on this fine section of the Surf Coast Walk which goes from Point Impossible all the way to Fairhaven a distance of 43 kms. I suppose it could be done in a couple of days but where’s the joy in that?
Instead we are doing the walk in small sections savouring the experience. We did one section last year just before the pandemic- from Urquart’s Bluff to Split Point Lighthouse- we actually did this twice because we did it as a return walk.
We picked up the threads again nearly a year later again doing a return walk- this time from Rocky Point to Bird Rock Lookout.
And a fine walk it is indeed. All along the cliff tops, wide well marked - and well trodden - path, grand views of the cliffs and the coasts- this truly is not a walk to be missed.
There is plenty of parking at access points, and lots of lookouts to stop and take in the views.
It made for a great afternoon.

We headed to a local playpark this morning. The plan was to spend an hour there then head for icecream What happens was it was far too hot for the playpark instead we went to the cafe for straw for the chickens and treats for the dog. And ended up having ice cream & cake. And talking about what we have enjoyed so far during this holidays. It was like being on holiday. A holiday in our local area. While there’s no sea here or seagulls there are some amazing places to visit if you just have a look around. #staycation #momentsofmine #mumsofinstagram #localtourist #holidayathome (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChC2WRlslBY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
