They say a positive attitude drives success. So after work rather than pound the streets of Peppy Beach, and with a spring in my step, I went for a walk round Manea Park. The circuit I took involved moments of wandering, connected by periods of pounding. With a view of getting the benefit of slightlyContinue reading “Disco inferno”

The spiders are coming
After all the hiking and climbing last weekend, my body was telling me that a quiet time was in order. Saturday was whiled away with housework and finishing off yet another puzzle, and not much else to be honest. By Sunday however my body decided it needed a stretch. Or was it just me wantingContinue reading “The spiders are coming”
Kalbarri Gold
It really was the furthest thought from my mind, as Rongy and I made our way towards the Z-Bend lookout at Kalbarri National Park (https://sandbagged.blog/2026/08/03/kalbarri-bronze/). So much so that I wasn’t looking out for them, and it was Rongy who spotted the first orchid. Just another Cowslip you may be thinking. After all when theseContinue reading “Kalbarri Gold”
Kalbarri Bronze
It was just under nine years back that I made the eight hour journey north to Kalbarri (https://sandbagged.blog/2017/11/10/the-proclaimers/). Back then it was with Mark. A buddy from my Alice Springs days, who climbed like an unforgiving machine. The nine day adventure resulted in a crazy and long list of unrelenting hard routes. Proving too muchContinue reading “Kalbarri Bronze”
The earth movers
Due to other commitments, there was limited time to get out and about today. While Lisa was bobbing in the ocean I was in need of a dose of nature to help me make it through the social conventions that lay ahead. A quick walk round the Capel Nature Reserve was just the ticket. ConsideringContinue reading “The earth movers”
The star of the show
With a pretty average forecast threatening to ruin any chance of outdoor fun later in the week, Howsie and I did a bit of calendar juggling to allow us to nip up the hill for a quick session on Wednesday afternoon. While inclement weather was approaching we have just had an unseasonal warm spell, soContinue reading “The star of the show”
Anyone fancy a dip
Not that there are any orchids I was particular looking for, a wander in the Capel Nature Reserve was in order today if only to stretch the legs. Quite a few Globe Heath (Brachyloma preissii) were in flower. Normally blooming in autumn, they are however highly adaptable to unseasonal rains and have been found toContinue reading “Anyone fancy a dip”
The last song
I can’t say my motivation was very high today. Blame the winter blues, no one being available, needing to be mindful of my dodgy joints, or possibly the imaginary tickle in the back of my throat courtesy of Lisa. She is weary, so much so she didn’t even go down to watch the Peppy Plungers,Continue reading “The last song”
The slow walk
Of the myriad of small basal leaves I spotted at Castle rock a few weeks back, only one had a stem and was in flower today. Even when flowering these can be pesky things to differentiate but I feel confident to say this is a Mosquito Orchid (Cyrtostylis robusta). As with several orchids here, theyContinue reading “The slow walk”
Cumulative impacts
A month back I mentioned how I had been told I needed to get up and about more regularly, leading me to go for a brisk walks. Not long after that breaking news my right knee started to play up. This was something I had been worried about before my trip to the Stirling RangesContinue reading “Cumulative impacts”
