Daytripper Sippers, Sunday drivers yeah! 1
It’s all about the journey!
We’re not fussy foodies, coffee connoisseurs, antique or art buffs, winies or wowsers. We like a bit of all of the above.
But we really love going for lazy weekend drives in the countryside and discovering interesting places and curiosities – with a good watering hole along the way.
Getting off the main roads is a must, on the road less travelled. It’s all about the journey.
And since no one lives on damper alone, and these days you are never very far from a coffee bean, then we also find a cafe to satisfy our citified tastes.
This blog is the next best thing to driving you around in our buggy…
Once when we were considering a local village, a resident kindly drove us around to all the available blocks of land for sale, in his big whale of a car. I also want to take everyone around our latest favourite part of our country.
This blog is the next best thing to driving you around in our buggy, showing you all the great spots to love.
I love the quirks and curiosities, the history, the natural and built beauty, the traces of the community in the land. And I love to share it with everyone.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out my little part of the web, and for the follow. The support is greatly appreciated, 🙂
My pleasure. I enjoyed looking at your photographs. Hoping to learn a thing or two.
Yep. I see the echoes for sure 🙂
Then I was really struck by it when I saw your cockatoo post from yesterday! Coincidences.
Where do I love to be? Almost anywhere. There are amazing things to be discovered wherever one goes. I love history and culture and nature and beauty, and one can find one or more of those just about anywhere. All that said, I’m a big fan of Australia, so I’m enjoying seeing where you’ve wandered.
Thanks. (Sorry I missed this comment from way back.)
I’m a huge -phile of history, culture, nature and beauty too, Aussie and non-Aussie. I never tire of it. I love exploring new times and places. Thanks for stopping by.
CC Richards, thank you for the follow its is really appreciated – welcome aboard. If you have any suggestions or requests just let me know. I like the above and in particular ‘the road less travelled’. Have a great weekend, will take a quick tour of your little home here. MM 🍀
Thanks MMick – and for the return follow. I love finding the hidden gems around and about, they’re almost always unexpected, that’s what makes them so delightful. I’m looking forward to your posts! Cheers, CC
I don’t just follow simply ‘cos I get tagged, but I will always go over and take a look at their site 😃
I figured, and so really appreciate your follow. Seems we have like interests and career re-orienting. Mine is study in journalism (and exploring photography). Good luck in yours, MM!
There seems to be little or no money in photojournalism these days so am opting to look at the travel / tourism business. Worth a go to do something I enjoy. MM 🍀
Oh and if I like it is because I like – I don’t just like everything arising from follows!
Firstly, we love meeting fellow Aussie bloggers 🙂
Secondly, you have a fabulous blog here!
Last but not least, we just have to follow & we can’t wait to see what you share!!
Thanks so much! You’ve made my day.
We have a habit of finding hidden gems and then we share them. Any particular types of places you like to see?
Happy trails, CC
This list is endless (both here in Australia and the world) of what we want to see! So we love hearing everyone else’s travels to inspire us more! Thanks for visiting our blog too! Very glad to be connected!!!
🙂 Same here. Looking forward to more of your blog. CC
Thanks for stopping by blog and the interaction. I love it. I’m looking forward to the Pink Floyd challenge. Thanks for the idea. It’s great
You’re welcome, I was just taken by your Self Post Sunday idea! Day 75/806.
(I’m a former teacher and the ideas are obviously still wanting to get out.)
And I have great memories at uni in a darkened room, with the moon shining through the window, listening to mates’ Pink Floyd albums. Ah!
Good luck! CC
Pink Floyd is my favorite group of all time. With your idea, I’m going to run with it. Each week, I’m going to do a Pink Floyd inspired self shot. I have Piper at the Gates Dawn idea down. I’m going to work on it this week for the final shoot and edit on Sunday. I really appreciate the idea.
Great stuff! Looking forward to your choice. Have fun! CC
Thanks!!
Just remember me when you’re famous! Heh heh.
I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award! You can check out the rules and get the badge on my blog, but it’s a no-strings-attached-award, so you don’t have to do anything unless you want to.
Whoopee!
Wow! thanks so much HH for the nomination. It really made my day!
Your awards are all very deserved. I love visiting your garden, it makes me smile.
I hope you have just the loveliest day! CC
(Gonna put the thinking cap on over the weekend for this. Mind’s already buzzing.) 🙂
Have fun 😉
Thanks for stopping by to check out some of the “off the beaten path” places we’ve visited in Canada (and recently for a few weeks in New Zealand). An extended vacation in Australia is definitely on our list of things to do before we’re too old to enjoy travel! Blogs like yours are exactly what I look for when planning a holiday. Thanks for sharing some of the gems that we’d otherwise never know about.
Thanks. As fellow Geocachers, bushwalkers and outdoorsy-types I just had to follow your blog. Canada is on our bucket list – The Rockies and the Rocky Mountaineer train and Thousand Islands…
I was born in Toronto (New South Wales), very different from its namesake but I’m going to have to go there. Cheerio, CC
I have never traveled outside of the US (except once barely crossing into Canada) so I am looking forward to reading your posts! Thanks for the encouragement, Emily
Thanks so much, Emily. Day tripping is my happy place! I love following the sun.
I’m loving reading your blog. I came across it through a repost by jisbell22. The right words at the right time, thank you. 🙂 CC
Looking forward to getting some inspiration exploring what’s in my own backyard now that I am home for a while.
Good stuff! It’ll be interesting swapping photos of our local patch. cheerios, CC
