At least that’s the title the Star Mail gave it recently. I was delighted to see the story in the local paper about my new book, Words on Birds. And even more delighted with the response the book has been getting. I’ve now had more stock delivered because the book has been so popular –…

New book available
During the month of February I was unwell and took some time off from my regular business to recuperate. I was unable to sit for long periods of time due to pain but also tiredness and exhaustion so could only be at my computer for short periods (and no, I wasn’t suffering from COVID-19 but…
Dandenong Ranges Christmas Cards
I’ve had several people ask me if I do Christmas Cards that depict the Dandenong Ranges. Well, I listened! And I also asked the people of the ranges of some iconic views and iconic birds that make people think of our beautiful region. I’m thrilled to share we now have 6 different Christmas Cards available…

Buff Banded Rail
While walking at Birdsland, my favourite place to walk, I saw not one, but two Buff Banded Rails! I don’t often see them there and usually only ever one – never seen two before. They weren’t together but weren’t that far away from one another. And I was very fortunate to get a great close…
Stunning Autumn in the Dandenong Ranges
We really are having the most amazing Autumn up here in the Dandenong Ranges this year. My husband and I went up there on Mother’s Day and spent a couple of hours at the George Tindale Gardens. Had intended to visit another garden but we found pathways we’d not walked before and just totally immersed…

They also make great gifts and are lightweight for posting overseas. I have a variety of sizes suitable for kids and adults…
Kallista Market
Had a stall at the most recent Kallista Market here in the Ranges. Had forgotten how much I enjoy being involved in a market! I use it as networking time, getting to know local business owners but also the local community and visitors to our community. During my time there I met photographers and told…

Pecking order in native birdlife
Was outside watching the birds this afternoon. It’s been quite cold and today the wind is bitter, so I was rugged up but the sun was out and I needed to just be outside for awhile. Thought I’d try and get some photos of kookaburras in flight – which isn’t easy when you have a…
Birdsland in the mist
Many know that I walk regularly at Birdsland – just love the fresh mornings, the fresh air, the bird calls, the solitude. Later in the day the number of walkers increase, but first thing in the morning there are a few regulars, and occasional others, enjoying the place and the early morning start. I can’t…
