The air was pleasantly cool – not hot, not cold. Contrary to my expectations, the winding, curling, bendy roads were not behind … More We’re on the road – Day 9 Lakes Entrance
The thunder and heavy down fall of rain woke me up. I should have realised it was a sign of things to come. Beautiful Bright lived up to its name. Nestled in the Ovens Valley, it is the starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail trail for bikers and hikers. We certainly saw plenty … More We’re on the road – Day 8: Tranquillity & Terror
ALL IN THE HEAD I have to say since JJ and LL moved in, Maria’s life’s got pretty crazy and her head’s become kind of crowded with all three of us in it. I’m Carmen by the way. God knows I’ve tried to get those two to tone down. But there’s only so much I … More All in the Head

The Defense Force’s mysterious ways meant he was not able to leave base until 4.30, … More We’re on the road – Days 5 and 6: Echoes of Wagga

Recruit Course 11/16 THE day many have been waiting for is here. We arrived at the RAAF Base at 10am as instructed. The same as yesterday everyone was issued Visitor’s passes.

Today’s road trip entertainment was provided by a well known Aussie country and western singer, John Williamson. After John’s music, we listened to David Attenborough. I learnt some really interesting things about wildlife. Did you know that the humble earthworm is capable of problem solving. Seriously! And not just that, but they have a rather … More We’re on the road – Day 2
