Out the back with Jack…

Travel tales and adventures out & about with Jack
Out the gate…
After a few false starts over the last quite a while, it was with a lot of glee (and a bit of help to be fair) that Jilly was finally out the gate and hooked up behind Jack for a weekend away.
Not just any weekend away though, one that had been booked several months ago, one that gets a pretty big tick on the Western Australian rodeo circuit…
Sublime Sunday…
That crazy quick trip north recently provided the perfect opportunity to escape a very definitely wintery Perth and head for a warmer northern climate.
Drone and camera batteries were fully charged and my little drone crew loaded into Jack in anticipation of the chance to fly high and wide, spinning their little props through the air.
That Sunday morning though there was barely a breath of wind anywhere…so I took the opportunity to let Max out to stretch his props… it was a beautifully calm morning, the waves were lapping gently against the shore, and the world seemed to be enjoying a calm soothing flow....
A flying visit…
An opportunity came up recently to show another kiwi around a tiny bit of this huge and stunning state of Australia I’m currently living in. It was just a quick trip… covering an odd 1,891km…. in a very quick three days.
Hanging out…
Driving on Aussie regional and remote roads a lot, I’m used to looking out for animals wandering - or hopping onto the roads. So I kept my eyes peeled…. and looked… and looked. I saw plenty of signs warning of bison wandering onto the road, but didn’t see a single one. I saw a gray wolf, and a silver wolf…. but no bears, no bison. Nada.
Snippets of a life…
if someone from the future found my phone, and managed to turn it on and access it, what will they think of the snippets of my life
Long weekend time…
It’s going to be hot, it will be a little sticky, but it will be amazing. We’ll be ‘out the back’ somewhere completely new, somewhere that looks pretty exciting.
From the ground up…
Im usually looking down at the surface of the earth, finding abstract and interesting shapes, colours and textures. It was refreshing to be looking up rather than down. It was also a bit of a challenge, given I hadn’t used my dslr in quite a while
The left side…
It’s not my usual spot, but I found it to be incredibly freeing. A redirection from responsibility and an absolute sense of lightness….
