We’ve had so much fun this Christmas. Just eating food and playing games and having lots of laughs. I’ve stepped outside to take a break in the backyard. It’s sunset and the light is so beautiful.

Day 306 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
There’s so many birds around. In a grevillea down the street this morning, Mum and I saw some Musk Lorikeets and Purple Crowned Lorikeets. They are uncommon nomads and they were all flying together in a big flock. It’s pretty exciting when you see two new birds at once. It was a great way to […]
Day 304 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
I’m out in my mother’s backyard. It’s the most beautiful morning. Mum has her Christmas decorations up. It feels so festive.
Day 301 – Rocky Point Bench
I see kangaroos bouncing through the dry fields. It’s hot, it’s windy, there’s flies all around me, and the Murray River down there is flooded. There was sandbags all down the main street in Mannum when we drove through this morning. Some houses are already underwater. A lot of people closest to the river have […]
Day 300 – Mannum Hills Bench
We’re back on the mainland now, in a little town on the Murray river called Mannum. The Bench is out the front of our Air BnB. It has a nice view. We can just the the flooded Murray river in the distance, we’re going to go down and check it out. A pair of Corellas […]
Day 299 – Vivonne Bench
Vivonne Bay, Kangaroo Island. It’s is absolutely stunning. It’s a huge white beach with beautiful sand dunes behind it and rock pools at low tide. We went snorkelling by the pier before, and now I’ve found a peaceful rock down by the water’s edge. This rock is sheltered from the wind by a larger rock, […]
Day 298 – Scott’s Bench
At Scott’s Cove lookout on the north-western side of Kangaroo Island. The view is sensational. No Bench here, I’m sitting on the tailgate of the ute. It’s windy, just like it has been the whole time we’ve been here.
Day 297 – Admiral’s Bench
On the Bench at Admiral’s Arch at Kangaroo Island, South Australia. There’s nobody here but us in the Arch, and the seals. There’s seals everywhere, they’re sleeping on rocks and swimming in the water. There’s some in the photo, but they’re camouflaged on the rocks. The a lot of Giant Gulls here, soaring around in […]
Day 296 – Harvey’s Return Bench
It’s a beautiful, wild-feeling Bench this one. It’s at Harvey’s Return Campground. It overlooks the trailhead down into the cove. There’s wildflowers all around. The flora here is so unique and wonderful. You can see the grey ocean in the distance underneath the stormy sky.
Day 295 – Seal Bay Bench
We’re here watching the Australian fur seal colony at Seal Bay. We’re on the boardwalk and there’s a little baby and his mother about two and a half metres from the Bench. They are so gorgeous. We saw this baby drinking milk before and now they’re both taking a nap on the sand dunes.
