I've heard many theories as to what shoes hanging on power lines mean. Some believe it means drugs are sold nearby, others have mentioned it defined the boundary of a gang's turf... or maybe it was a harmless schoolkid prank.... Continue reading shoes hanging on power line »

I had been back to work for exactly 4 weeks and felt like I needed a break more than ever. I love Stanwell Park because the Sea Cliff Bridge is absolutely amazing to drive on and the beach is peacefully full of energy. Hand gliders were out and about... but i simply enjoyed the sand and the sun. Continue reading A day trip to Stanwell Park Beach »

Talk about an action-packed weekend. Continue reading Turning two at Hunter Valley »

April is awesome! How often do you get a 4 day weekend? I've always wanted to see a waterfall... so here was my chance. The Minnamurra Rainforest is a 2 hour drive south of Sydney. There are 2 fabulous walks which take you through elevated timber boardwalks and swinging bridges. Part of it was so steep... but the workout was definately worthwhile. The waterfall was amazing! And it was lovely to take in deep breaths of nature... ah.... Continue reading Easter long weekend »

Last year, a spontaneous decision to go to the Grand Prix meant a lot of discomfort. Five of us were squashed in a car with barely any sleep for 3 days... and Zen's bro drove practically 12 hours straight! So having grown one year wiser... we planned it well this year. Plane tickets. Booked. Accomodation. Booked. Camping chairs. Tick. Sunnies. Tick. Sun hat. Tick. Ear plugs. Tick. 4 Day pass. Tick. DSLR with new lens. Tick. We were ready!!

What else could have brought me to Brunswick Street but the Alannah Hill factory outlet! Brunswick Street is probably the King Street (of Newtown) or the Oxford Street in Sydney. So we snagged a seat in the open terrace and watched the Brunswick Street crowds walk on by. Continue reading The Fitz @ Brunswick Street, Fitzroy »

And here we are at the Great Ocean Road! Zen decided that we should opt for the hassle-free solution and booked the one-day tour via Go West. Hooray to no pricey car hiring, no tiring drive and plenty of rejuvenating sleep during the boring and repetitive sections of the road. The Great Ocean Road is divided by three sections. There's the long and windy roads which wrap around the coast, the lush rainforest, and then the massive pastoral scenes. Continue reading The Great Ocean Road »

For the last four days, Zen and I have been hiding out in Melbourne -another of our spontaneous holidays. I love the internet age... we were able to plan and book everything from airfare, accomodation to restaurants, all just a day before flying! Continue reading Royce Hotel, Melbourne »
