So I’m sitting on the couch scrolling through my Facebook feed when a friend shared a post from Sportsbet. She shared it because it had a Northern Grampians Shire bin in it. I’m looking at the photo, think, gez that looks awfully familiar. Then it hit me. The photo is of our garden! In fact,

First off I’d like to apologise to Running Heroes and Under Armour for this seriously late blog post. I was given the opportunity to review these shoes back in September 2016. The shoes were sent to me while I was on holidays. By the time I got back from holidays, I did one run in

We are halfway through March already and we are yet to have our running date. It’s that time of the month again to catch up on all things running-related. Shame on me. Let’s not delay anymore, strap on some shoes, and let’s go for a run. It might be short, but sometimes you just need

Mura Mura is the indigenous name for Mt Zero. It is located at the northern end of the Gariwerd/Grampians National Park. Named Major Mitchell when he passed through the area in 1836. It happened to be zero degrees at the time. Brr, cold. It wasn’t cold on this particular day. If anything we were properly

The kids usually whine when I tell them they need to get off technology. While technology has a place in our lives, it’s important for kids to experience what nature has to offer. This particular day was no different, but I knew that was going to have a great time, as we had decided to

Friday is the beginning of my weekend. Yay! I know it’s been a while since I have done a High Five Friday. That happens when life gets in the way of blogging. I do what I can when I can. Such is life. Five Pictures .1. & .3. Hiking up to Mt Zero with the
