Now when you say you are stopping in a gravel pit, this is a beauty at Jerramungup in West Aussie — 2023.

Saw my first ever Red-capped Parrot here so it has extra special memory

Even at home sometimes it is nice to light up the Ozpig and cook up a breakfast feed - 2021.

Maggie is using her Dad’s old camp toasting fork to cook the toast.
