Over a decade ago, pregnant with Striker, T and I set off to visit Cradle Mountain. It had long been on my bucket list and I was super excited about finally taking the trip there. We left early from Hobart and were given direction via Ouse (where my grandfather is buried) and Lake St Clair. …

In early December we found ourselves heading north to the Port Stephens area for a good friend’s milestone birthday celebration.
