Those of you who follow this blog know that B.H. is a great believer in walking as a form of transport.  I embrace this in theory as well, as a way of really getting a feel for a place, though I have been known to put my foot down (so to speak).  Like the time …

Two of my favourite activities in Townsville are Boating and Cloud Watching, and on Saturday I got to do both on a family fishing trip. B.H., Matt and I launched the boat while the sun was just a golden glow on the horizon, and motored slowly out of Ross Creek, through the breakwater and port …

Winter has arrived in North Queensland, and something is in the (24 degree) air… Signs of change are appearing daily. Barriers and seats are appearing road side. The Flags are up.

When we visit a town for one big reason, like to see the amazing ROMAN AQUEDUCT and Bridge in Segovia, Spain, we inevitably turn away from the splendour, looking for another impression, the Ying for the Yang. Like these images from a random walk. Then a corner is turned, and BAM, the splendour returns in …

When I first glimpsed a photo of the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia, I knew we had to visit on our April 2012 trip to Spain.  There were two days available for day trips from MADRID and we chose Segovia (because I just had to) and Toledo.  The other place we really wanted to see was …

Florence Bay Magnetic Island has a tropical sandy beach, fringed by She Oak trees whose needle like leaves filter the sun and let the ocean breezes through. On week-ends Florence Bay is sprinkled with yachts and power boats, an indication of it’s safe anchorage and inshore coral reef.  On week days you could well be …
