Invasion of the cows.

When you visit Australia you are warned about all the strange creatures you may encounter. Anyone who's visited Perth in the last few weeks will have noticed something very peculiar indeed. An abundance of multi-coloured cows have swamped the city.

I love a good treasure hunt so a few weekends ago I went out in search of the painted cows with my map in hand.

The spookiest Halloween

Halloween is about dressing up, having fun, and most of all having a good scare! To me it's also about crunchy leaves, hot chocolates, and general Autumny goodness, but this year it was spent in Australia so it was Spring instead (don't even get me started on Christmas in Summer).


This year I managed to fit a lot of spookiness into the days surrounding Halloween. First off, I went to the Perth Zombie Walk, which included a walk around Northbridge with lots of zombies, in order to raise money and awareness for the Brain Foundation. Some costumes were so realistic, it felt like being in The Walking Dead.

I think it's about time for a life update

It's been seven months since my last blog post and so much has happened. Last time you heard from me, I was at Hong Kong airport about to fly to Bali to do turtle conservation. I'd been wanting to do a programme like that for as long as I can remember and it was exactly what I needed, when I needed it.
