Awaydays Blog Post 22: Finishing What We Started

The beginning, middle, and end of today.

Awaydays Blog Post 21: On the Road Again

We're overnighting in Coonabarabran after leaving Pittsworth. 531 km in 6 hours of driving.

Food for truckers (and others)

The Kaputar ranges from a distance - and on the move.

Awaydays Blog Post 19: Sky's on Fire

This week we have had some pretty impressive clouds and sunsets, but no weather. That'll probably change as soon as I attempt a 1000km drive.

Awaydays Blog Post 18: Acting with Reserve

In the 1970s Susan's father started campaigning to have a parcel of undeveloped land on his farm listed as a nature reserve. Yesterday we took him to see what it has become.

Awaydays Blog Post 17: Deafened by Frogs

Whilst visiting Susan's father we're staying in a motel on the edge of town near the highway. Next to the motel is a catchment pond for rainwater. It's full of frogs to the extent that after dark you can't hear yourself think. So far we've seen 4 species and heard 3 more.

Here are two of them:

Spotted Marsh Frog

Peron's Tree Frog (Emerald Spotted Frog)
