Huskisson Triathlon 2013 – Booking Ahead To Avoid Disappointment

Thumbnail image for Huskisson Triathlon 2013 – Booking Ahead To Avoid Disappointment

‘Book ahead to avoid disappoinment’ was the mantra of a TV producer pal in Glasgow. She knew that time moves fast when you’re shooting and editing so our social plans were best made in advance. This idea worked in Glasgow when we were young, free and single. Works even better now in Sydney where we’re [...]

Call me a playground and cafe nerd, why don’t you? I really do love a new find. This new addition to the Huskisson cafe scene gets my vote for convenience and charm. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of Owen Street, so feels lovely and quiet. But the best thing is that it is [...]

Just a quick post to add to the last Huskisson playground post. There’s another little play area in a handy spot in Husky. No shade at all though so it can be a bit burny in the summer.

So what do you do at Jervis Bay on a rainy day? Yes, I know, it’s a horrifying prospect, but we cannot tell a lie. The weather is bad occasionally at Jervis Bay. Sad but true. We often pack all the kids in the car and scoot up the road to the Bay and Basin [...]

My children have been asking to see the little bit of video we shot of the dolphins who came to say g’day when we were on our fast boat trip around Jervis Bay. And now they’ve got themselves off to school, I’ve managed to find it and load it onto Youtube. This isn’t the best bit [...]

Bridge jumping is an activity which has stood the test of time. Even Rusty Rocket, aged all of five was flinging himself off good style. With my wee [...]
