Gatton, Queendland After our night at Lake Clarendon we took a short drive West past Gatton where we stopped in to meet a very special cat. Have you ever been saved? I mean truly saved. This was the case for Lil Jess (2.5 years), a rescue cat from South Australia who nearly saw the light…

When we heard Mark and his white shepherd, Mya, were visiting Brisbane for the All Dogs Spectacular we knew we had to meet them. But how would adventure cat Willow react to meeting adventure dog Mya? Now, while Willow and I’s style of adventuring is limited to napping in new and unusual places, unfolding the…

In the inner Brisbane suburb of Lutwyche there is a unique cafe that attracts cat lovers from all over the city. It’s the not-for-profit Cat Cuddle Cafe and I got to chat with its founder, Katina Balson, as they close in on their 500th adoption. A few weeks earlier I happened to drive through Lutwyche and…

Pistachio is a white tabby with a unique sense of adventure. I say unique in that he joins the ranks as a ‘lazy adventure cat’. These are the cats who have taken their lives out of the suburbs and into nature – those who choose to take their morning naps on a log in a…

Gold Coast, Queensland Emerging from the forests of the Sunshine Coast, we couldn’t have been in more of a contrasting place as I parked the van in a shady, well manicured street behind a Gold Coast beach. Though, instead of towering trees above us there were high-rise – as far as the eye could see!…

Sunshine Coast, Queensland On our travels down the coast after our time in the desert I got to meet two of my favourite cats of Instagram. Tucked away in the sleepy hinterland of the Sunshine Coast is the home of Lamington and Jamu, a cute modern Queenslander house that they have made their jungle palace.…

It’s always a pleasure meeting other travellers on the road. It’s even more of a pleasure when they also travel with their cat! Meet Sumi By chance Willow and I were spotted by one of Sumi’s travelling staff members (or servants as they more realistically put it). Willow and I were out taking some photos at…

If you visit Skåne in the south of Sweden you’ll be met with a wilderness wonderland with thick forests, endless plains and beaches, and dramatic clifftops dropping straight into the ocean. An area known to hikers for its thousands of kilometres of trails crisscrossing through endless National Parks and reserves. But find yourself on one of…
