Ballina coast parkrun seems like so long ago. One of our running friends said they wanted to run it for somethings diffe

Heading back to Sydney photos - Coolangatta Mountain. Looks like a resort place. It did start out as a caravan park - hence the nice pool. Now it is an over 55s place. Grandkids and a few oldies use the

Got to say I like waking up in our Shoalhaven Heads house. Do not have the sliding doors and windows to wake me up every 10 minutes from 5am. Feel kind of rested after a late night for US markets open.

There was something so amazing about it, like I had walked onto a movie set of some western from the 1950's or maybe a high production value TV series - like a Breaking Bad or something, streached out

Got moving early - get a train to walk a track in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP - looking for white fingers orchids and maybe a sun orchid. It is a bit cool for those to be open Chose not to do the bicycle thing

These shots taken with a 300mm lens on a fujifilm camera, in the garden on a property we were staying in in Upper Beaconsfield, on the outskirts of Melbourne Australia - there is something about the colours

Gainsborough Greens is an interesting parkrun. It is located halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I remember whe

Urunga was my 47th different parkrun event back in 2020. We were on our way home from a trip to Sydney. It is one of th

Weekend day and a planned visit with my wife's son and grandson. Idea is to go to Sydney Fish Markets. Decided to make a different idea. While my wife drive down to puck up Ollie and Byron, I caught the

A different start to a Saturday - walked up to the church for the fortnightly op shop sale. It is a busy gathering of bargain hunters. Not my idea of fun. We wandered into the centre for a cooked breakfast.

My wife headed out for her sewing session. Gave me the morning clear tinhead out for a walk. Was doing investing stuff - decided a blue sky day had to be used. Maybe a chance to find white fingers orchids

My wife has some art stuff do on her day off. Gives me a window to go to pickleball. Chose a drills and play session to start working to the next level - tactics. Have learned that pickleball days are
