I snuck out of the house late on Saturday afternoon, fly rod in hand, ready to explore some nearby waters. Despite having lived in Sydney for close on 2 years, I had only fished the harbour twice, and was eager to find some good fishing spots close to home. When I arrived at the Willoughby …
Rather than a lazy Saturday start, we decided to kick off the weekend with a bang, by doing our first ever family parkrun. We headed down to Spit Reserve where the Mosman parkrun is held, with the girls sporting matching outfits. I wasn’t expecting a lot, predominantly because Mosman parkrun is a 3 lap, out …
My family and I recently headed out to Oberon in NSW, in the hope of finding some trout waters closer to home. While Lake Jindabyne and the Thredbo River were incredible venues, driving 7 hours to fish for trout is just too tall an ask for me to do frequently. So with that in mind, …
We’re blessed in Sydney with an abundance of walking trails, right on our doorstep. And if you chose your trail carefully, you can experience so much more than just spectacular views.

We took the kids to the Big Banana Fun Park to enjoy a few of their rides. The toboggan was by far their favourite. Even our little one gave it go! The 650m track was pure bliss.
Having lived in Sydney for over a year, and since aunty Kerry was visiting us from Perth, we decided that it was high time to hike up to Barrenjoey Lighthouse at Palm Beach. After a leisurely 30 minute drive, I strapped Katie onto my back, and we began our slow walk on soft beach sand …
