Koalas, Waterfalls and Getting Lost
Where we’re at: I’m finally getting around to posting about an Adenaide adventure from September 2020. We contemplated our options as we faced the fork in the road. It was not the first fork we’d come across, but by this time we were sure… Continue Reading “Koalas, Waterfalls and Getting Lost”

Hiking Bridle Path Lookout in New Boots
Who thought hiking the Bridle Path Lookout at Standley Chasm in new boots would be so painful and so amazing. This was definitely a bucket list check for me.
