Liz and I took the kids into the city on Sunday for a ride on the City Cat, a stroll around South Bank, and a wander through GOMA. I’ve lived in this wonderful city most of my life, and I think I take it for granted, because I was quite surprised how beautiful it … Continue reading We Love Brisbane 
I took the family for a hike at Mt Mee today, along the Somerset Track. It’s a 13km walk to a sheer drop that looks westward over the valley to Somerset Dam. Harrison’s shirt says it all: “The mountains are calling and … Continue reading The Mountains Are Calling and I Must Go 
Liz asked me what I wanted for a Father’s Day present, and I said “A bush walk”. So today we hiked along Scrub Road. Basically it’s a big “vee” shaped road – steep down for 2km, then steep up the other side to the South Boundary Road Camp. Then turn around and repeat in … Continue reading Scrub Road 
Harrison and I decided to check out Mount Joyce Recreation Park yesterday. It’s built on the shores of the new Wyaralong Dam between Beaudesert and Boonah, and has some great Mountain Biking trails. We really enjoyed the trails, but I made a couple of big mistakes that caused us some major problems…. 
The weather forecast said “Rain” but we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to explore the Noosa Headland. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have this beautiful national park just over an hours drive from our front door. 
Coolum in the cooler months is beautiful! Liz, Lilly and I are happy to be back on the beach again at Coolum. Harrison is lurking in the background on the left. Here’s a few pics of our first evening walk along the beach … Continue reading Cool Coolum 
Our kids had a visit from a couple of their friends this morning. Rather than let them sit around playing computer games, we bundled them into the van and took them on a couple of hikes. (After checking that it was ok to kidnap a couple of extra kids. Thanks Renea!) The first hike … Continue reading Kidnapping the Neighbors Kids 
Bert has been in my life since I was about three years old. He was one of the wild clan of Scotsmen who had migrated to Australia in the 1950′s and befriended my parents when they arrived as immigrants from the UK in 1965. I remember many family parties with Bert … Continue reading RIP Uncle Bert 
It was the annual sports carnival at the kids’ school today. In keeping with the whole fitness concept I thought I’d leave the car at home and walk up to the school and back. School was a-buzz with excited kids in team colours chanting … Continue reading Sports Day 
I crashed the bike riding down the Goat Track from Mt Nebo this week. I got some pretty bad scratches, and suffered a painful shoulder injury which will need a week or two to recover. Rather than mope around the house, Liz and the kids agreed to come for a hike through one of … Continue reading Family Hike |
