  • Houseboat Hideaway With Travelling Cicci

    Down by a creek off the Brisbane River, nestled in mangroves and dappled light, sits afloat on the muddy green waters a houseboat.

  • Life Is Good On The Top Deck

    It wasn’t long into our travels that Willow discovered a way to climb up the rear ladder of our old van and perch herself on the roof. She would carefully make her way up each rung, wedging herself between the ladder and the back window before making one last stretch to the top. There she…

    Read the original story of Jezebel’s cat here. It had been two days since I was aboard the SSSV Jezebel with Miow Miow and his humans. Willow and I camped in the bush by the mangroves and we enjoyed watching the roos as they grazed in the evening. That morning we had driven to Point…
