About

About us…

We love the colours of the Australian Outback, the red earth touching a blue sky on a faraway horizon; and the fabulous coastline of our sunburnt country, where a golden sandy beach is washed over by a warm turquoise blue sea…

A few years ago we graduated from work and re-entered the classroom of life where an education is guaranteed and all that is needed is an open mind.

Cheers, Baz & Janet

    Dude you are truly amazing. I love your newest post and that Pioneer Hut. I just wanted to stop by just to say how awesome you are doing. When I first met you a couple of months ago you had about 100 followers now you have over 3,000. Gotta say you are most definitely doing well. You stormed the blogging world with great adventures. So I congratulate you on your awesomeness, mate! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

    While you were out exploring God’s green earth, I nominated you for the Sunshine Award. Frankly, I think you might be the Sunshine Award. I hope I don’t have to deliver this news via St. Bernard or EMS system.

    Looking forward to hearing from you again! I know you’re having a blast!

      Howdy, glad your along for the climb… Newcastle is our second home. Often train on the kayak down at Carrington, or at the dog beach. And do some stair running at Merewether beach!

      And yes, a great quote, mind you happy to take advice!

        We trained walking from Redhead to Merewether for our Milford Sound Walk in NZ a few years back. Both are great spots!

        Might bump into you some time… 🙂

      Yeah, we love those quotes you mention, feel free to flog them off here, they aren’t mine, but we surely live to the last one.

      Mind you, it doesn’t mean we don’t take advice, for sure we do, but equally we don’t suffer “arm-chair” critics too well…
