Road Trip

We set off for warmer places and drove 2400 kilometres to reach Airlie Beach. It took us fourteen days with a bit of adventure on the side.

The highlight for me was a tour of a seventy-two thousand acre beef cattle station near Carnarvon Gorge where we explored ancient aboriginal cave paintings, saw ancient cycads and peered up at colourful sandstone cliff-faces. The second highlight was prospecting for sapphires in the gemfields near Emerald. I can fully admit that I was seized with gem-stone fever as I uncovered a spectacular green sapphire.

What I’ve been reading.

It’s hard to know what books to pack for a road trip. Should I pack a suitcase?

Instead I packed just one hard copy, The Marriage Portrait and the rest were ebooks. This is what I picked.

Reviews will come out soon.

We are still travelling so until next month…happy reading.
