I love Cumberland State Forest, especially after rains. The water soaked trees, the fragrance of drenched soil and the cheerful birdsong made for a perfect day out at this beautiful little gem in the center of Hills District. There are quite a few entrances to the forest. The entrance off Oratava Avenue had its gates closed so if you want to reach the nice cafe by car inside the forest, then make sure you enter off the Cumberland Forest Way. I am sure Google won’t be wrong 😉 What do you think this bird is? Crimson Rosella or Red Parrot? Some...
CONTINUE READINGWhat more can you want, a gorgeous spring day, picnic with great friends and a red kayak. This time its the Brisbane water up the coast from Sydney. This was the launch point to be precise. There is only parking available for a couple of cars and I was fortunate that someone was leaving.

Relatively easy to use. So with the new roof rack on the car,...

If we pack a quick picnic, get kids from School at 3, make a quick dash to the Boat Ramp near Windsor, unpack and be on the water by 4, I will have about an hour to enjoy this red beauty.And that was enough (at least better...

Well the title says it all …. I have decided to do a Kayaking tour around Australia. Don’t know how long it will take and what this adventure will entail but who is in a rush? The loose plan right now is to go after big lakes, rivers and lagoons. Places that mark the amazing landscape of this beautiful country. Why do it? Because I can (Thanks Jess for giving a reason :)) I was not raised up near water. Infact the first beach I saw was when I travelled to Mumbai at the age of 21. Can you believe...
