I cannot stress how much I am enjoying having a dog in my life and being able to take Ada with us as much as possible but it is worth noting that when you go camping not everyone who is sharing your camp ground feels the same way you do. It is always important to … Continue reading Being human friendly when taking dogs camping

Relaxing at Red Rock
So just back from a relaxing few days at Red Rock. I am not someone who is drawn to bright lights and crowds, I am happy with quite walks and solitude so I am drawn to quieter less developed places.

Granite Belt – food, wine and relaxation
We just had a fantastic, relaxing weekend in Stanthorpe. The surprising thing was we virtually had the entire camp ground at Sommerville Valley to ourselves, only one other set of campers, and as much peace and quiet as we could handle. Yes, the drought is having an impact but it is a green drought, the … Continue reading Granite Belt – food, wine and relaxation
