What Susie Saw – a touch of frost

Those winter mornings when it gets down around zero degrees (or a bit below) can be so invigorating.  Here’s a moment from early winter, possibly our first frost of the season, when the grass still had a green tinge under a fleeting light frost.  Our fingers, toes and noses were […]

Postcard from Tasmania

Here is one of many spectacular views from the Three Capes Track in Tasmania.  This is the walk we were training for on all those early morning backpack walks around Beaudesert.  We loved sharing it with baby Rosie, walking for 48 kilometres across spectacular sea cliffs in pristine national park, […]

Leafy path

I’ve seen this tree-lined footpath many times before, but it stopped me in my tracks as I walked back to my car after an interview recently. How funny that one of this town’s most leafy pathways happens to be at the entry to Beaudesert Enterprise Precinct.

What Susie Saw

Here’s a sunset appreciation photo on the way back from our first visit to Barney as a family of three recently. In years gone by, we’ve camped for a few days out there at Easter and Christmas but this time we opted for a simple day trip. Time in nature […]

What Susie Saw – Autumn Skies

Here’s what the sky looked like very early on the first autumn morning of baby Rosie’s life. Those fleeting colours of the early autumn skies are just something else, aren’t they?
