Perhaps, but mind you, for every faltering, penultimate step it takes, it edges ever closer towards a dazzling apogee far greater than any other the world has ever seen…An example: Secular humanism. I grew up in the long tradition of secular humanism (as you just imagine ‘we’ all did). Yet when I see a post […]
So, finally I gave myself a couple of days off to go try out my new Gossamer Gear (GG) Gorilla backpack, and the hunting spot I have been wanting to access via packraft. Here is the pack already loaded up in our garden with our necessities and ready to roll. As you can see Spot,
It does no good though to tippy toe through life so you safely arrive at death. We stroll our 10,000 daily steps somewhere in the forests around here (in this case just behind Yinnar). There had been a fair bit of rain which had created this pretty little waterfall just as a backdrop for my
Thuraya’s Sat Sleeve: Pricewise this offering sits about half way between Delorme’s InReach SE (http://www.theultralighthiker.com/the-poor-mans-satellite-phone/) and the Rolls Royce model, Iridium’s Extreme (https://www.iridium.com/products/details/iridiumextreme) It is also substantially lighter than both (178 grams inc battery) but has to be paired with your phone – which means of course both devices have to work though you can

Why Are My Seedlings Leggy? http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/seeds/leggy-seedling.htm?src=slid This teaser caught my attention and inspired me to talk about my new capillary mat seedling starters. I have used a ‘Smart Valve’ (http://www.gardensmartshop.com/category_s/1841.htm) to regulate the water in the cat litter tray, a cut down plant tray, a couple of used containers and
This is a beautiful glamping trip. You can walk from the Mushroom Rocks Carpark (just North of Erica – or from the Mt St Gwinear Carpark) to the Baw Baw Village in approx 5 ½ hours (our retiree speeds with overnight packs) each way. There is accommodation there year round, but at least three nights

This lovely trail starts @ 200 metres East of Moe Railway Station. It passes through Moe’s wonderful Botanic Gardens nestled along Narracan Creek and follows a fringe of bush to the splendid Latrobe River where the awesome cooling towers of the Yallourn Power Station are a reminder of the unity of mature and artifice.
