According to the ABC online, this morning was the coldest Bundaberg morning since 1966. At 3.57am, it was 2.5 degrees celsius. That, my friends, is why I love this place. Although there are certainly warmer places in Australia at this time of year, this is about as bad as we get. It still got up to…
I have a new favourite day hike! Coongara Rock is in the heart of Mt Walsh National Park (near Biggenden). I’ve hiked around the bottom of it, but hadn’t managed to arrange the hike to the top until I joined the Bundaberg Bushwalking Club on their recent hike. A friend of mine tried to walk…
I’ve only been overseas three times so far – New Zealand, India and Nepal, and the US. In Nepal I hiked to Everest Base Camp. I only know one other person (other than the people I hiked with) who has done that, and she is a friend of a friend who I haven’t seen in…
Look what popped up on my facebook feed today! Queensland Tourism’s list of Queensland’s best beaches. Yep, I’m a sucker for a list. Don’t we all just have to look to see if we agree, or to stamp our foot in outrage if we don’t? Anyway, there are 18 beaches on this list, all of…
I’m sure you’ve all heard of Steve Irwin – “The Crocodile Hunter”. Well, he’s from my part of the world. Australia Zoo, his home, is about a three hour drive away. I’ve always been a fan of Steve’s, and his death in 2006 was very sad. He did so many great things for this country.…
I’ve been following Caz and Craig at YTravel for a while now (if you haven’t yet, go check them out at www.ytravelblog.com. I also follow them on instagram and highly recommend you do to as they post terrific photos of their current around Australia trip. I can’t wait til they get to my part of the country!). Caz wrote…
Ever heard of the best job in the world? Queensland tourism run a competition to be employed as a “park ranger”, where you get to do lots of cool things in Queensland and blog about it for the world to see. Calling it the “best job in the world” is a pretty big claim, but…
The 13th of November marked 100 years sine Bundaberg was declared a city, and what better way to celebrate than by closing our bridge? (Note – Bundaberg is much older than 100 years, this is just the centenary of being considered a city). The Burnett Traffic Bridge may be the official name, but she is…
I decided to spend the October long weekend visiting my sister and her husband in Emerald, which is about 3 hours west of Rockhampton. I haven’t been to visit them in over 2 years (as they are regularly on the coast to visit me) so, as any good resident of a town should do, they…
Back in June I did the “Heart Rock Mountain” walk at Mt Walsh National Park. I use quotation marked here because unfortunately this is not a signed walk – it is basically back country hiking. Mt Walsh National Park is just south of Biggenden, and Biggenden is just west of Childers. For further information, go…
I love Bundaberg. Really. I love this town like Carrie Bradshaw loves New York. I love Bundy when half of it is under water from a flood. I love it when it is 39 degrees and 90% humidity and putting your hands on the steering wheel can give you third degree burns. I love it…
