    New offering at the Cockatiel Cafe: the “breakfast bar”. 🦜

    My favourite gym t-shirt. All the Aussies would get this reference.

    A black T-shirt is displayed with the text 'WE'RE GOIN TA BONNIE DOON' printed on the front in bold white letters, with the line Bonnie Doon Hotel below it on the right.

    This I got from an op-shop but I have been to the Bonnie Doon Hotel a few times. It’s actually pretty nice.

    Day 30: hometown

    It’s far from perfect, but it’s good to call this place home. #mbapr

    Day 29: drift

    Drifted a little from the path at this point of my hike today. Could be easy to get lost though, so it was important not to drift too far. #mbapr

    Day 27: surprise

    Quite surprised that this photo came out as well as it did. Was purely an accidental press of the shutter button. #mbapr

    Some emus have moved into a nearby sanctuary a few weeks ago. I managed to catch a glimpse of one during my walk today. A rare treat indeed.

    Day 14: cactus

    Okay, I admit that it’s quite a stretch to call this a cactus. I do think it’s some form of succulent, or at least a plant that’s suitable for hot, dry climates, so I’m going to go with it. #mbapr
