Queensland National Parks- well, a few at least….
Twin Falls…duh…! Springbrook NP overlook Purling Brook Falls-600 ft ! In the weeks after landing and adjusting to the southern hemisphere, we’ve begun to get out and about a bit more within a few hours of Brisbane. Queensland is blessed with an amazing 2000 mile coastline, fronting a fertile coastal plain and backed up […]
Harmonic Convergences and (increasingly) good vibrations…..
“I’m giving off good vibrations…” OK, so a bit of an aside in tonight’s musings..

There […]

I blog from the local library on the 15 minute meter….Though we’ve only been in country for one week, it feels like months have passed… I suppose that’s to be expected when so many new experiences are being flashed before you at every turn….. Especially […]
