Harvest

Tuesday, 23 December 2014 by Admin
I’ve been a little quiet lately, but there is a good reason for that. Harvest. Now last year I spent harvest writing The Sunnyvale Girls and by the time I came up for air I had one ride in the truck with dad and then harvest was finished. A very weird feeling I must say….felt

Clearing Sale

Thursday, 06 February 2014 by Admin
Clearing sales may sound like a time to hit the shops but in the country it means a huge day, usually standing around in the boiling sun while you scan through rows and rows of stuff from a farmer selling up. They are like massive garage sales, including tractors, silo’s, utes, motorbikes, scrap metal, poly

Inspiration for The Outback Heart

Sunday, 10 November 2013 by Admin
    Getting ideas for books is not a planned thing, sometimes I get on with life and just hope inspiration strikes or that something I hear or see brings on a story idea. Sometimes things move me and I want to write about them. Like with The Sunburnt Country, the issues of depression, rural

Orchids & Wildflowers

Tuesday, 10 September 2013 by Admin
On Sunday my friend had my kids out on her farm (which they loved) and it gave me the chance to play some golf at our local club. I’m not a great golfer or a mad keen one but I do enjoy the walk. Especially when the wildflowers and orchids are out. This top shot

Spring has sprung

Monday, 02 September 2013 by Admin
I just had to go for a walk this morning. Such a gorgeous day. Could hear the bee’s and flies buzzing and the ants were all out and busy. It was a perfect way to start the day and Sally my dog was really happy for the walk. (come on mum, hurry up!) The crops

Weeds

Thursday, 13 December 2012 by Admin
Today my hubby had a day off, as they shut the bin due to the rain that had stopped harvest. So this morning we went up to the golf club to see how bad these nastsy weeds were. We managed to walk three holes and this big drum was nearly half full just from one

Shifting

Monday, 10 December 2012 by Admin
Yesterday my son and I jumped into the truck with my dad and headed out for a load. It’s hot and sweaty, dusty and sometimes itchy and there were spider webs….but besides all that it still is fun to go out for a ride. Here is my son, sitting up the back enjoying the ride.

Out in the paddock

Thursday, 22 November 2012 by Admin
I went for a ride in the truck with my dad the other day. Kids came too. Out to a farm to pick up a load of wheat. You can tell from the stubble that the crops around here are not so great. We didn’t get the finishing rain so everything dried out early. We

My Racing Days

Thursday, 01 November 2012 by Admin
Because my new book has a small section of speedway in it, I thought I’d go into detail on my seven years of racing. Don’t stress, it won’t be long winded for those who don’t like cars. I just have a collection of old photo’s to help share my journey . It will be painless,

Beach to breakaway

Friday, 12 October 2012 by Admin
I spent a few days down at Hopetoun, (south east coast of WA) to give myself some writing time while the kids enjoyed a break during school holidays. As it was, I had to spend half the day cutting branches off a fallen tree and dig out gutters full of rotten leaves. Fun, not! But
