Living along the coast or inland in Perth can make or break one’s summer. Where we live – along the coast – temperatures during the warm season can be 7-15° cooler than the city. On a 40° day, a reading of 25-30° along the coast isn’t unusual. Don’t believe me? Just check with the Bureau of Meteorology!
With two birthdays in the works over the weekend we booked another trip down south to Busselton for a bit of fun and relaxation.
Following our recent weekend sojourn to the Ferguson Valley, now comes the itch to look for the Western Yellow Robin!
Every now and then I listen to some of the early improvisational guitar work I’ve casually recorded and go “hmm…that was pretty cool – there’s actually a nice melody/riff in there – with a bit of better playing and proper mastering this could sound a whole lot better!”
And so begins the work of re-recording just about every track. Depending on the complexity of the song it usually takes around a week or two to put everything together – bass and drums tracks included. Occasionally, additional phrasing or harmony is usually thrown in for good measure!
If you were born, or have been living in Western Australia for a good while, have you heard of the Ferguson Valley?
This year’s wildflower hunt has taken a more interesting twist. We’ve started a little adventure looking for the elusive orchids of WA.
We’re well into Springtime, and what better than to a long drive out to the countryside to see some wildflowers and get away from the hustle and bustle of Perth metro?
We put pen to paper today, to have the A250 traded in and replaced with this little mean machine – the MINI John Cooper Works 3-Door Hatch.
It’s already coming to the end of August, and we’re just completed plans to cap off 2018 with a memorable 3-week Christmas winter wanderlust in a small region of Central Europe.
We’re in Singapore right now for a 4-day break from Perth’s winter and I’m suitably impressed to have seen a Grey-headed Fish Eagle perched right on top of a high tree overlooking the Swan Lake at the Botanic Gardens. He’ll be spoilt for choice, what with all the carp and koi in that body of water!
