Details of the Australian bush
To go for a bushwalk you often don’t even need to go too far from the city. Around Sydney there are a few beautiful walks that make you feel like you’re not near the city at all. Here are some details from my walks in the Royal national park and…
Industry
Newcastle, just north of Sydney, is a very Industrial city. It is well known coal for its coal that gets shipped everywhere. The harbour is a fascinating place to visit and look how the massive ships get in and out. This fisherman’s got it.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Adventure
Every day is an adventure! You might not be bungyjumping, skydiving, rafting or trekking through the jungle, but every day is an adventure when you follow your dreams. I never really know what my day will bring. My life comes with challenges and the unexpected. You can plan as much…
Photographing Sydney’s CBD
Sydney’s CBD and all its buildings are iconic. The skyline with the bridge and opera house are very recognizable and ridiculously photogenic. You can get some amazing photos from the ferry to Manly, but my favorite spot was the park on the other side of the harbour bridge. In Milsons…
Wenworth is well worth it
Most people go to the Blue mountains on a day trip from Sydney. They arrive in Katoomba, take happy snaps of the three sisters, stroll around town and take a ride in the cable car. Although I love Katoomba, the Blue mountains deserve better exploration. I spent about a week…

Three sisters trapped
I just got back from doing the Six Foot Track, but still had plenty to explore in the Blue Mountains. I walked like a wooden doll, sore from the long walk and it took some time for my muscles to engage. Luckily the three sisters can be seen from a…
Big bad Bundanoon part 2
I had a short break after my afternoon adventure. Sometimes I’m scared in the dark. You always hear you shouldn’t be walking around parks and forests in the dark and here I was, walking into the forest at sunset. It wasn’t fully dark yet, but the trees didn’t let any…
Digging up Sydney’s dirt
The good thing about living in Sydney for a while, is that you have the time to see all the smaller and lesser known activities around the city. If I were a tourist on a busy schedule, I wouldn’t have visited the small Justice & Police museum. During a weekend…
