  • Willow’s Favourite Takeaway?

    If Willow grew thumbs and developed the ability to use a cell phone it wouldn’t be long before she’d be ordering snacks delivered. But what would she order? I would hazard a guess and say that she would likely hit up the local Japanese for some fresh, tasty sashimi. In fact I don’t think another…

  • The Not So Secret Life Of Milly and Mr Penny

    Grafton, NSW Every November, the treelined streets of the Jacaranda City come out in veils of purple blossoms. The event is such a spectacle that a festival is held in its honour. Although we passed through at the end of the month, shortly after the height of the lilac bloom, the streets were still littered…

    Previously: Trouble in the Oasis Leaving Bedourie, Queensland – September When travelling, a vast amount of time is spent figuring out how to get from one point to the next – it’s by nature the definition of travel, I guess.

  • Our Visit to the House of Kittyliciousness

    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!…

  • Goldstone the Film with Willow the Cat

    Middleton, Queensland Between Boulia and Winton on the dusty Kennedy Development road lies the town of Middleton. Although ‘town’ might be a grandiose term for this place that once was.

  • Who’s afraid of the forest at night?

    Certainly not us! The van rattles along the forest track as we look for our camp. A little black cat asleep in the back, and me, gripping the wheel. Ahead on the trail I see a strange looking stick. As we approach I see the patterning of a diamond python resting in the sun cleared…

  • Trouble in the Oasis: The Royal Hotel Bedourie

    Previously: Rodeo in the Oasis Bedourie, Queensland It’s 6pm on another desert evening and I’m floating. The artesian water suspends me effortlessly as I watch the sunset. Every so often I make sure I move just in case a passersby thinks a rescue is required. I’m in the town where the sands of the Simpson…

  • How to Teach your Cat to Sit

    Let’s get one thing straight. Cats thrive on positive reinforcement, and positive reinforcement only. The best way to reinforce positive behaviour is with clicker training. The way we train a cat is to communicate when the cat performs a desired behaviour, then provide a reward. The way we communicate with them is by using a…
