It’s only a matter of days now before we sail away on Nutshell.

So, in this episode Wendy attempts to rejuven...
Sit back and relax as we take you on a delightful bush walk up to the Hill Inlet lookout.

After spending quite a few very rainy days sitting out the weather in Gulnare Inlet we decide to just go for it and take Peanut up the creek in search of a potential cyclone bolt hole. It’s absolutely beautiful with mangroves, Norfolk pines and giant fruit balls!

We ha...

We have been hanging out to take Nutshell out for a sail but the weather has not been kind enough. I wouldn’t say that we are fair weather sailors but huge storms hit the coast and we had to delay heading off.
