Canberra, we ❤️ you! Always one of our top spo Canberra, we ❤️ you! Always one of our top spots for a family road trip, it’s really a fab year-round destination. We loved seeing snow at Corin Forest this past winter, and now as we are into spring, it’s the perfect time to go to see cherry blossoms and tulips in bloom. This lookout at Mt Ainsley is stunning and easy for little legs to manage as you can drive the entire way to the top 😅. @visitcanberra #mtainslie #mtainslielookout #mountainslie
Dreaming of Japan today while exploring our own ba Dreaming of Japan today while exploring our own backyard. This is the beautiful @wollongongbotanicgarden, located an hour and a half south of the Sydney CBD. The traditional Japanese bridge was gift to the City of Wollongong from the City of Kawasaki in 1993 to mark the fifth anniversary of their Sister City relationship. The shape of the bridge is called taiko-bashi (drum bridge) in Japanese. If you look into the water from the top of the bridge you’ll see its reflection form the shape of a drum. @visitwollongong #visitwollongong @destination_nsw #ilovensw #japanesebridge

Wet weekend = indoor exploring. We highly enjoyed Wet weekend = indoor exploring. We highly enjoyed our first visit to the @whiterabbitgallery in #Sydney. The gallery specializes in contemporary Chinese art and has a beautiful tearoom attached serving, you guessed it, many, many varieties of tea and dumplings. 🍵 🥟 🖼 My perfect rainy day outing really. #sydneyart #whiterabbitgallery

Day trips to the zoo, exploring new parks and meeting up with friends for the first time in so many months. We are extremely grateful to have this bit of freedom back.

Physical distancing and enhanced cleaning are in place, plus contactless entry and limited capacity. #wearehappyplace
Who’s new at the zoo? We had a special outing at Who’s new at the zoo? We had a special outing at @tarongazoo today to see the new African Savannah precinct. Giraffes, lions, meerkats, zebra and fennec foxes all roam freely in their new custom-made homes. We were impressed by their beautiful big spaces, full of enrichment for the animals. Giraffes hold a special place in my heart - did you know that they have the largest eyes of all land mammals and can see sharply up to 2km away? They’re also rated as vulnerable to endangered, depending on the sub species, with two critically endangered and on the verge of quietly going extinct. Thank you Taronga for bringing the attention to this beautiful species that they so badly need. @tarongazoo #forthewild #tarongazoo #taronga #invited #giraffe #giraffes

“Warra warra wei”, yelled the Dharawal men to “Warra warra wei”, yelled the Dharawal men to Captain Cook and his crew as they approached the shores of Botany Bay on April 29, 1770. Cook later wrote in his diary that he presumed the words meant “go away”, but the Dwarawal people say it was misinterpreted. The word “warra” is a root word for either white or all dead - the indigenous people looked out at the incoming boatload of people and all they could see was whiteness. Thinking they were seeing spirits of the dead, the two Dharawal men stood up to what they thought were ghosts by shaking their spears and yelling. This incredible sculpture at Kamay Botany Bay National Park was recently installed at Captain Cook’s Landing Place to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the first meeting of European and Aboriginal cultures. Created by indigenous artist Alison Page, the work is an abstraction of the ribs of the HMS Endeavor and the bones of the Gweagal totem, the whale. Etched into each rib are stories, including the first encounters at Kamay. Visiting this historical place is a great way to start or continue a conversation with kids on the way Aboriginal people have been misunderstood and mistreated.

With the restrictions in Sydney loosening up we ar With the restrictions in Sydney loosening up we are taking advantage of all the amazing things to see and do around us. I’ve never taken such joy in simple things like picking mandarins before. A silver lining to this pandemic has definitely been how much I appreciate the small things, and I hope this gratitude is a feeling we can all hold on to for the long term as life (hopefully!) continues to return to some kind of normal. @watkinsfamilyfarm #wisemansferry @wisemansferry #watkinsfamilyfarm #mandarin #fruitpicking
🍁 🍂 For our first recreational outing out of 🍁 🍂 For our first recreational outing out of the house in eight weeks we drove up to Bilpin to enjoy the last autumn colours at Wildwood Garden. It was the perfect idea, we pretty much had the entire garden to ourselves, and the benefit it had on our mental health was tremendous. We are cautiously optimistic about the way life in Australia is heading and hope we will be able to do more outings like this and spend time with family and friends again (at a safe distance of course 😷). We’ve all missed the social connections, especially this kid!

I’ve been quiet here lately because I’ve had n I’ve been quiet here lately because I’ve had no words to express how I’ve been feeling. I take a walk every morning at dawn because the sunrise fills me with hope, then do what I can to keep our lives as normal as possible. Log into school on time. Remind small fry to practice her piano. Do her hair with the fancy tiaras for online ballet class because if not now, then when? I can’t wait for our old lives to resume; the daily school run and hearing about my daughter’s wonderful day at pick up, sitting in the same room as my parents, visiting my local cafe for an avo smash and listening to ballet chatter in the dance school waiting room while I wait for class to end. When this is all over I hope we all remember to appreciate just how good our ordinary lives really are. Not always Insta-worthy, but missed when they’re gone. #corona2020 #sydneysunrise

The Happy Place is a series of installations, several of which are interactive, that make for some great photo ops. Don’t worry, they are well aware of hygiene concerns and are doing plenty of sterilizing. #wearehappyplace #happyplace #invited #happyplacesydney

That awkward moment where you hope a rhino 🦏 ha That awkward moment where you hope a rhino 🦏 hasn’t eaten your jewellery ... our incredible visit to @sandiegozoo included a special behind-the-scenes experiences call “Animals in Action” where we met a bunch of the animal ambassadors and learned about the incredible work #sandiegozoo is doing to help save animals in the wild. In 2019 the zoo became the first to successfully birth an artificially inseminated southern white rhino in North America, while its sister zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, has the largest crash of rhinos and the most successful managed-care breeding program for rhinos in the world. As rhinos head towards extinction in the wild, I’m grateful for programs such as these that are keeping these magnificent beasts alive. The @sandiegozoo currently has eastern black rhinos, southern white rhinos, and greater one-horned rhinos 🦏. More on visiting #sandiegozoo on the blog (link in profile).
