Happy Australia Day

Just a short post to wish you all Happy Australia Day. I was blessed to awake this morning in a tent deep in a valley in the Brindabella Ranges on the shores of the Goodradigbee River where Chris and I, and a few “Zook” club members spent the Australia Day long weekend. Now, that’s the way [...]
