On our recent trip to Tasmania, we decided to have lunch at the Agrarian Kitchen Eatery. We were headed from Hobart to Mount Field National Park for a hike and this spot looked like it had decent reviews and was somewhat along the way. Little…
Barely a speck on the map of Japan, Naoshima is an island town in the Seto Inland Sea. Quite the opposite of the vibrancy, speed and crowds of Japan’s more well-known cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, Naoshima is a quiet, somewhat remote destination. It’s…
A few weeks ago, I travelled to Singapore – home to late night roti prata, my beloved extended family, and some of the neatest bars around. Whilst in town, I visited a few new haunts and was impressed by their attention to detail – ice cubes embossed with…
The city apparently founded by two twins raised by a she-wolf, Rome/Roma is full of history of grand proportions. Whilst there I wrote of the city: Roma is filled with cultural artefacts – architectural wonders that command your attention and awe. They are almost other-worldly.…
This Summer, I traded the Sydney heat for the chilly weather of Europe and the humidity of Singapore. I adored the eye-opening experiences of both locales, documenting as much as I could when I wasn’t busy stuffing my face with food, trekking through countless art…

Not one, but two nights in Bangkok! Early morning flight. LOTS of shopping – singlets for 20 ฿, bags for 150 ฿, shoes for 200 ฿ ahhhhh! Motorbikes, people, and trolleys all fighting for space in the market aisles. Shopping until we literally dropped in Black Canyon, recuperating over iced coffee. Street food…

I almost forgot how exciting the ritual of film processing could be! A couple months ago I took my fisheye camera and an expired underwater disposable that I picked up at a thrift store on my trip to Vanuatu. Having a limited amount of shots…
Plane landing – our first view of Port Vila! I miss swimming three times a day; getting mud on my shoes; seafood chowder at Tilly’s; swimming in the Mele Cascades; cocktails and lime juice; snorkelling with fish; adorable pikininis; loving the breakfast toaster; swimming in the pool;…
Beijing seems so long ago, I am still catching up on all the details. On our final day in Beijing we wandered through the streets & found ourselves in a market. Although our busy tour schedule meant that we were seeing so many new and exciting…
Greetings from the sunshine state! Humidity is clinging like a sticky melted popsicle, weighing down like a doona full of lead feathers. We are currently sitting in front of the fan watching Big Bang Theory (the official screening of our Summer) trying to cool down.…

At Sydney International Airport I just came home after a week in Beijing, China! The trip was filled with many new experiences – from squat toilets which required BYO toilet paper, to trying new foods (including dried cuttlefish and duck’s tongue, both of which were…
Two weeks in Singapore! In particular, I loved the food and its 24-hour availability; playing mahjong; visiting galleries, markets, shops and malls; assisting my uncle; night culture; the first wave of aircon as you enter a room; and most of all spending time with my beautiful…

Today we went on a boxing day road trip to Picton which is about 80km south west from Sydney. We had some delicious food at the George IV Inn (rosemary on chips = yum!) and made quite a few other pitstops along the way and further south…
I met a very lovely lady today. 50 years ago, when Judy was 19, she traveled around the world – which for her time (and seriously even today) was quite cool. She was kind enough to show me the photos from her travels – from…
