For ABC Perth Saturday Breakfast, Ro and I thought that we should do something to be a part of NAIDOC Week, which celebrates the culture and contribution of Aboriginal people in Western Australia. Below is a link to our discussion about Aboriginal tourism experiences in Perth and down the road. https://www.abc.net.au/radio/perth/programs/saturdaybreakfast/naidoc-hidden-treasures/13449400 I thought we’d look…

The Avon Valley isn’t far from Perth and if it was north or south it would just about qualify as part of the Perth Metropolitan Scheme. Being just over an hour’s drive away it’s wonderful how easy we can leave the city behind, even if it’s just for a few hours. The Avon Valley stretches…

For ABC Saturday Breakfast Hidden Treasures, Ro and I went somewhere we haven’t been before … beyond Perth! Up and over the escarpment and east to the Avon Valley.

A bit closer to home I spoke about day trips through the Avon Valley, from bakeries to canola crops, from…

A whirlwind opportunity to talk about and redefine the staycation. You don’t need to stay at home and find yourself visiting Bunnings. A staycation can be about getting out and about in your state. Not very far from home but still out and about.

Have A Go News newspaper recently published my list of the Top Ten No Tech Travel Accessories that you should have on every trip. They’re also all lightweight and easy to store. Aquatabs are as close as I get to panic prep packing but because they are easy to tuck in your toiletries bag with other medications they’re…
