January 26, 2012 Red Nomad OZ Australia Day, Australiana, FavouRED Things, New South Wales, Outback, Queensland, South Australia

It’s amazing how easy – and fun – it is to compose doggerel a new stanza for my favourite RED Aussie things! AND what better way to celebrate this fabulous Australia Day with some new RED OZ stuff!! I’m a loud and proud Aussie – so of course I’m going to show off all the OZ good bits to inspire you[…]

SkyWatch at Lake Pamamaroo OR 13 photos of the same thing … Menindee Lakes, NSW

September 1, 2011 Red Nomad OZ Lake Pamamaroo, Menindee Lakes, New South Wales, Outback, Travel

Lake Pamamaroo Sunset #1 Ever wondered what happens when an amateur photographer points an automatic film camera directly at the sun and presses the shutter? Well, wonder no more! It might be amateurish, but I kinda like it … although I would, wouldn’t I?! Yes, I’m the photographer, and this amazing sunset on the first night of my virgin visit[…]

My Perfect Moment – Cobar, New South Wales

August 25, 2011 Red Nomad OZ Cobar, New South Wales

The silence intensified the colours. Cool greys melded with ochre, rust and purple; rock layers folded and blended in harmonious tranquillity as evening shadows lengthened. Then ringing from the rocks and echoing around us, a wild, sad cry. Again and again, the air reverberated with a sound so pure and perfect unshed tears brightened my gaze.

Favourite Place #6 – Lord Howe Island, New South Wales

May 11, 2011 Red Nomad OZ Ball's Pyramid, Bird watching, Lord Howe Island, New South Wales, Things to do, Travel, World Heritage

OK, I admit it. I’m shallow. For a favourite place to make it onto my favourite places list, it’s got to be able to deliver experiences I can’t have anywhere else. In Australia, if not the world! And a selection of good bakeries doesn’t hurt either … Stepping onto the 1km airstrip bisecting Lord Howe Island and into a Bali[…]

Sunset over the Richmond River, 10 Budget Travel Tips

7 Days in … Ballina, NSW

November 1, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Bakery, Ballina, Bird watching, Byron Bay, Lennox Head, Lighthouse, National Parks, New South Wales, Richmond River, Things to do, Travel

Thank goddess for Byron Bay! The Byron tourist magnet sucks a conglomerate of backpackers, yuppies, new age-ists, surfers, whale watchers and regular local and overseas tourists into its vortex, leaving the fabulous, diverse and bakery-filled Ballina region relatively uncrowded. This is good. This 7 day teaser is only an introduction – complete with ‘bakery alerts’ – as a week isn’t[…]
