John and I have been a lot of places within a 3-4 hour drive from Perth in Western Australia. We were looking for somewhere new and some place where it wasn’t raining. With a long list of promise of seeing some birds, we chose Beacon, Western Australia. So, we didn’t...
We go to Perth Zoo with some regularity when I am in town. Since it was John’s birthday, seemed like the perfect first outing since my arrival. Tricia is 60 years old has been a much loved since her arrival from Vietnam via Singapore in 1963 as a young six...
Perhaps making “friends” is a term being used loosely here, but, hey, it’s my blog and my day out, I am going with it. 🙂 I haven’t been to a lot of zoos, but I must say that I consider Perth Zoo to be friendly, intimate, and charming. Often I...
The last time we went to Katrine, it was summer, I thought it might be fun to see it in spring. The colors of Katrine in summer were browns and dry. I truly wanted to see the area with the lush green colors of spring.
John has experience, but this was my FIRST time on a real 4×4 dirt track. I learned when the guide book says, “Engage four wheel drive low range.” that in 4×4 talk, this actually means “Don’t go down that track, there will be ruts deep enough to fit small children!”...
So I arrive in Australia, ready to relax some, as the last 8 months have been grueling. I figure, I will play some on my game, work when it comes in, and enjoy restful weekends with John. That was not to be the plan, his computer started to have problems...
So I made a blog and video about our visit to Caversham Wildlife Park, but some of the images got left out. The ones taken with my cell phone. 🙂 And John fed this one…
When I started this post, I was going to share a good many of the photos taken at Caversham Wildlife Park. Then I realized it would take a long time to process all of those photos. So I decided on a slide show / movie instead. This also ended...
So between the news and Facebook, I knew that it was going to be a blood moon with a lunar eclipse. So I dragged my poor, hardworking, tired husband as he gets home from work, with barely a cup of tea off to the nearest open sky. We found an...
From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised. Psalm 113:3 The sun goes down everywhere, but some places are more lovely to watch a sunset than others. Often we dash to the beach to watch the sunset but the last...
John drives home from work past Whiteman Park and often sees kangaroos at that time of day. So on his day off, we went by at around the same time…
We set the alarm for 5 am. Even though we aren’t in a beach hideaway like on our honeymoon, I asked John for some good places near the house to go for sunrise. He suggested Whiteman Park. I love it there, so I was happy with the idea. It was...
When Laura and I came to Australia the last time, almost worth the entire price of the ticket to me was coming to Caversham Wildlife Park. We loved it there and of course I wanted to go back again. He was even cuter awake. And hungry, so he...
After the Pinnacles and the Beach, we hit the road again. We were headed east, looking for wildflowers, the brochures promising “carpets of everlastings” and “rare and endangered orchids”. Neither proved true, but what we did get to see was…
Today we went to Caversham Wildlife Park. Caversham Wildlife Park showcases many of Australia’s unique native animals, including koalas, wallabies, possums, Tasmanian devils and wombats – providing visitors with the opportunity for a close-up encounter with some Australian icons! One of the remarkable aspects of this park amongst the 200...
