After months of lockdown, residents in these States and territory are now able to step across their borders once more. Over the past few months it was hard to imagine a world without an ability to travel. Continue reading “Healing Power of Travel”

Adelaide Writer’s Week

Each year I love attending Writer’s Week because of the variety of authors it attracts and the inspiration they bring. This year’s theme: “the only constant” opened a discussion or us to think about how things changed, or did they? Continue reading “Adelaide Writer’s Week”

Summer Means Beach Polo

Move over cricket, the new Australian summer sport is Polo. Or at least it should be. Ever since I took a Polo lesson in 2017, I have a new appreciation for the game.
