In September 2019 Big Sis embarked on a birding expedition to the northwest corner of her home state. Following in the footsteps of explorer Charles Sturt, she visited Sturt National Park, encountering lots of special wildlife and interesting desert landscapes, trekking to Cameron Corner and beyond.

In this tale of chance, luck and coincidence, Lil Sis recalls the trip that turned a mild interest into an obsession.
As we were going to be in Sydney for a concert anyway we decided to make the most of our time there. We visited exhibitions at the Australian Museum and Art Gallery of NSW as well as the Royal Botanic Gardens and Mrs Macquarie's Point.
In January 2018 we set off to drive the Great Roads of Victoria. Over 3,000 kilometres later we had traversed the Great Alpine Road, wound our way along the Great Ocean Road, visited the metropolis of Melbourne and explored the wilderness around Portland. From big things to bandicoots, and everything in between, there were many adventures to be had on this Aussie road trip.
In May 2017 Big Sis spent three weeks exploring South Africa. She visited the spectacular city of Cape Town and travelled throughout the eastern provinces on an unforgettable wildlife watching tour.
In April 2017 Lil Sis did her first overseas trip without Big Sis. She travelled to New Zealand's North Island with their Dad and had an awesome time visiting new places and introducing her Dad to some old favourites.
In May 2016 we set off on a ten day road trip with no itinerary. We headed west and this is where we ended up.
In January 2016 we travelled to the South Island of our favourite neighbour, New Zealand. We spent two weeks exploring this wonderful location and Big Sis documented it all.
In August 2013 we visited far north Queensland with our Mum.
It was a pleasantly warm escape during a very cold winter. We discovered that tropical Queensland isn't just coral reefs and crocodiles but a wonderfully diverse destination. |
