Julie on the first abseilNORTH BOWEN CANYON – MAY 2015
Julie B messaged that she was doing a run through North Bowen with a friend from the US and would I like to join her.  I’d not done a wet canyon after April 1 before so figured it was worth giving it a go, North Bowen’s not that wet (as I remembered), turns out my memory was a little off!

Tasmania Freycinet – pick the right weather!

Posted on February 26, 2015 by marilyn

Our first glimpse of the beach through the treesI’d always wanted to see Wine Glass Bay, the photos of it are amazing.  So, we put Freycinet on the itinerary, but our run of great weather had come to an end.  We decided to do the circuit anti-clockwise leaving Wine Glass Bay for last so we could have more time there.  Whilst the first day was perfect weather, the second day was cloudy, drizzly and miserable.
