A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: This is our little globetrotter as of yesterday. Her grandmother brought the South American inspired cardigan back from a recent trip to the USA. She loves wearing her hoodie. Here she is putting lawn clippings in her toy pram. Every afternoon, […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: Here is a pic of our little globetrotter with her papa at our local agricultural show in Maleny. The show always falls at the end of May and it always rains so that fair-goers are never without a pair of gum boots […]
Mongolia – The Final Frontier
I have a tribe of globetrotters travelling to Mongolia in August, some have been before and others it’s their first time. Safe to say, I love organising their trips and I would be lying if I didn’t mention I’m a shade of green that I’m not accompanying them – especially in my rotund state! They […]
Filming on Horseback
Since the very beginning, we’ve been recording our Globetrotting adventures on film – often while riding a horse. As many of you know, getting steady, quality footage while staying in control of your mount is no easy feat! So we wanted to share our best advice and recommendations to help you capture those unforgettable moments […]
Inspiration
My dreams have been peppered with jumping fallen logs in faraway lands at the moment. So when I stumbled across this quote on Pinterest, I couldn’t help myself! Buster took this photo when we were riding in Patagonia, Chile.
The Almighty Polo Swing
I’m the first to admit that I’m an awful spectator when it comes to watching a sport I love. At 27 weeks pregnant I’ve been pushed to the sideline for the current polo season. On Sunday I found myself in attendance at our home polo field on the banks of the mighty Mary River to […]

I whole heartedly believe in this quote. Travelling is the university of life.
What Makes The Perfect Safari Horse
Not to boast but I’ve ridden a lot of safari horses in my globetrotting career. Definition: A safari horse are the horses used on the horse riding holidays that I offer and are ridden by guests. I’ve ridden a range of breeds from South African Boerped’s, warmbloods, polo ponies, thoroughbreds, Mangalarga’s, Somalian bred and Mongol horses – […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. Every fourth Sunday of the month in Nambour, we have the Little Steam Trains that chug around a leafy bush track, under bridges and alongside a creek. This is the second time we’ve been and Finn loves it. This Sunday she got to […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. * So I’ve only missed some 12 weeks of this photo series. Will try and stay on track for my own sake as our little Finn is growing like a weed. photo caption: This little poppet celebrated her second birthday a week ago. This […]
Days Like These
I’ve been feeling quite distant from this blog of late and I guess the reason is I’m not actively globetrotting at the moment. I’m curious, have you ever had a time in your life where horses have been out of reach? I’ve had brief episodes in my life where my connection with equines has lapsed […]
Feeling Beige
Six weeks has gone and this blog post has been a vacant space with tumble weeds passing through its virtual pages. To be completely honest, I haven’t posted of late because I’ve been feeling beige, some may describe it as ‘meh.’ As if I’ve been walking through a thick fog and have no idea when […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: We just wished on a ‘father christmas’ (you remember those sphere’s of white) and she was watching the breeze take it to a far away place. My clever mother made her dress from Hello Kitty Liberty print fabric we bought in […]
Our Globetrotter Is Learning To Ride
Can you remember the first time you rode a horse? Pictured above is an aged, curled cornered photo of me astride our hefty, chestnut racehorse called Oakley aged 4 with my sister, Amanda (at the front). My brother, sister and I were the fortunate ones to be born into a horse-loving family. My father has […]
Mountain Cabin Escape
There is something deeply romantic and enchanting about a rustic, shoe-box sized cabin hidden deep within the woods. A cabin tucked away from the outside world with no roads leading to its door but only well-worn forest paths. Cabins that are only discovered by whisperings of travellers that have been and gone. At the moment […]
