It’s 4am. I am snoozing as peacefully as one can during the first night in a new bed. It’s a Sunday night and I’m in a hotel in Melbourne, having opted to travel for work late on Sunday rather than first thing Monday. I’m really not a morning person and I’m glad to have this opportunity to rest properly before the madness begins on Monday morning. The trade off to this being, of course, that I’m not in my own bed. Still, you pays your* money and takes your chances and here we are, at 4am on a Sunday night…
aka a very belated life lately update. Hi, remember me? I used to write some stuff here sometimes. Then I stopped. The reasons were manyfold, but largely revolved around entering a fairly intense phase of travel which has now lessened, although not exactly abated… Since I went to some pretty cool places, I thought I’d update you on where on earth I’ve been jollying off to.

So I thought I’d write a list right here right now of all the Australian road trips I’m just itching to take, so that when we once again roll round to travel booking time I’m…
This month marks a whole year since I moved to Australia, so I’m celebrating the milestone with some posts all about what it’s really like living here. I’m starting out strong with some of the reasons I love living in Australia. This is by no means an exhaustive summary of everything I love about this country, so if you don’t see your favourite thing on the list don’t be outraged – I probably love it too! Just leave me a comment telling me what it is and we can coo over it together. So without further ado*, let me tell…
Ever since arriving in Australia, I seem to keep hearing about Aussie meat pies. For some strange reason or another, they come up in conversation quite often. I guess it’s true what they say, Aussie’s really are obsessed with their meat pies. As a coeliac, I just assumed I’d never be privy to the Authentic Aussie Meat Pie Experience™ so I just held my tongue. Until I went to the Sunshine Coast. Beefy’s Pies, various locations This is the store that took me one step closer to understanding my new countrymenandwomen. Countrypeople? Anyway. Beefy’s have developed a range of gluten…
