Iâm happy to report that a favourite caravan and camping magazine, âOn the Roadâ is back in print again. Like so many other industries, some print magazines have struggled to keep issues going during 2020. Printing and distribution would have caused some problems as would have the reality of cross border travel not being possible and in some Australian states, lock down even made travel within the state impossible.

Having a Shot List for Travel Photography
When planning a driving holiday in Australia, donât forget to plan a âshot listâ of where and what you want to take photographs of. Even if you donât publish photos and youâre just doing it for the memories or to create a photobook at home later, having a bit of a plan for the images you would like to get can be a good idea and enable you to get those postcard, or these days, Instagram images.
Photographs and Memories
There was a break in my blog posting for this past week or so because of a sad event affecting our family. My mother in law passed away just over a week ago, so naturally these times call for everything to be put aside while you deal with the processes in saying goodbye to a family member.

Have you ever been scrolling through pictures on Instagram and said to yourself âWow, where is that, I want to see that one dayââ? Welcome to the world of social media tourism. What is social media tourism? To me itâs the epitome of âA picture is worth a thousand wordsâ. Iâm the first one to be hooked in by a photograph that has me saying âOh I am definitely going there one day’.
Keep Australia Beautiful
This week is Keep Australia Beautiful week and this yearâs focus is on marine litter. The week aims to raise awareness of the simple things we all can do to reduce our impact on the environment and encourage action. In our daily lives we can all help to keep Australian waterways litter free.
The Captivating Coorong
There is a special place in South Australia which I think has gone largely unnoticed, but a spotlight is about to be shone on it with the release of a movie in January 2019. The movie is âStorm Boyâ and the setting is The Coorong, an area in South Australia that at itâs heart, is less than 2 hours from Adelaide. The Coorong is a series of estuarine lagoons that are protected from the wild Southern Ocean by sand dunes and a shell covered sandy peninsula that stretches for around 130 kilometres, beginning at the Murray Mouth in Goolwa.
