Budawang

Bundawang is 4 hours south of Sydney.  Charlotte gave me a lift in her pick up truck.  The hike was tough but had some awesome viewpoints that made it more than worthwhile.  And so did the wonderful people.  All in all a great weekend.

Royal National Park with Srini and Rajesh

A great 23 km hike from Otford to Garrie Beach and back via the rocks.  Pounding surf galore and the apple crumble at the end made a great incentive when I started getting very pooped with 5 km to go.

Lunch party for my Hiking Gang


Pumpkin soup, roast chicken and roasted winter vegetables with feta and smoked almonds.  Followed by lemon pudding and chocolate mousse.  Then walked off with a stroll at Ball's Head.  A lovely day.

A Facebook message





Graeme! Wow, it's been ages. Thanks for being such a kind soul at school. (St. George's std 3-5)

I remember being afraid while keeping watch at a school campfire. Kleinmond if I recall correctly.

You sat with me, calmed me down and let me know I was not alone. That if I got scared again, you'd be nearby.

I have often thought of that time whenever I've found myself in trouble while growing up.

I'm reminded that at that fire, I was taught that all things pass, including fear.

Thanks Graeme

Ikram Abrahams



Wow, what a beautiful message. Thank you dear Ikram for sharing your story, your kind words and affirmation. I'm so glad I could be there for you. Sending you love.
