Having mentioned just a week or two back that the water conditions have been pretty awful, I really hoped that would soon change. Being in need of another activity to fill my outdoor time. To both provide the opportunity to see, and share the wonders of nature. It’s finally hotting up, to the point thatContinue reading “School’s Out”

I beg to differ
Josh has been absent for a while, and for good reason. As if moving house wasn’t enough of a drain on time, he also managed to mash up his big toe in the process. To the point the nail detached. Hence, the thought of popping his feet into squishy climbing shoes was the last thingContinue reading “I beg to differ”
Drying up
There are days you just need to take some time out, and as the year rolls towards a close it feels like they are needed just that bit more. After half a day’s work I was out and about heading south. Joined by Craig, who was also very grateful for a bit of time inContinue reading “Drying up”
The right place
Fortunately during my wander round Crooked Brook on Wednesday I came across a female Milky Flower Spider (Zygometis xanthogaster). At a hefty 6.5 to 8mm, as opposed to a mere 2.5 to 3mm the males can reach, I was able to get a somewhat reasonable image. These spiders can be found in a vast arrayContinue reading “The right place”
So here it is… almost
It felt a little too blustery and wet for a solo trip to touch rock. In these conditions I would have been more motivated if someone else had shown an interest, but that was not the case. Instead, in part as I had accepted the challenge, I spent an hour or two checking out theContinue reading “So here it is… almost”
An angry mob
I’m pleased that Howsie and I headed to the Dam on Friday for a climb. As despite finally having the car back in operation, the opportunities to get out this weekend became limited for other reasons. Another cold front, with lightning and thunder, started to sweep across the south west from the early hours ofContinue reading “An angry mob”
On the road again
Since Lisa and my trip down to Pemberton, I have been living a relatively secluded life in Peppy Beach. The car troubles that started on the return journey took until yesterday to resolve. There were two faults. And due to the wonders of computer managed engines, these days, pin pointing faults and investigating them becomesContinue reading “On the road again”
Keeping the spark
October is a busy month for us with both our birthdays, wedding anniversary, and, as Lisa likes to call it, boativersary. The latter just hanging off the edge, on the 1 November, and referring to when we first met, which if you had not got from the hint was on a boat. That encounter beingContinue reading “Keeping the spark”
Uncertain times
Back in August it was claimed that spring and potentially summer would end up a tad wet across all of Australia. So far that prediction is proving right in our south west corner. Forecast of the back of a negative Indian Ocean Dipole forming, which a phenomenon that not surprisingly occurs across the Indian Ocean. Continue reading “Uncertain times”
Nature’s medicine
The car remained in the driveway since returning from my climb with Howsie and Craig on Monday. Having forewarned them I had brought an unwanted guest back from Lisa and my travels they said they were happy to take the gamble and get out with me. It took a greater hold after that trip andContinue reading “Nature’s medicine”
