The Outback Expat

Happy Easter

by Leave a Comment

The long weekend for Easter starts on Friday. We are heading off for a couple of nights in Lamington National Park which is near the Gold Coast.

The Aussie has visited Lamington before with one of his friends to go for some hikes and we plan on doing the same. I want to get into hiking and have purchased some walking poles because I get pretty nervous when walking off track that I am going to slip or fall and this was recommended to me.

I am really looking forward to seeing what is at Lamington and then sharing our adventures when we get back.

I hope that you have a lovely Easter, however you celebrate or spend the time.

Today is Easter Sunday and I wanted to wish you all a very happy Easter.

The Aussie and I are on the coast in a small town north of the Sunshine Coast for the weekend and staying with some of his friends. As I write this I am hoping that it will be a very relaxing weekend filled with good company, sleep, some reading and of course Hot Cross Buns!

I am a huge fan of Hot Cross Buns and to be honest not bothered about having an Easter Egg or chocolate this weekend. My focus is wholly on eating the Hot Cross Buns!!! Speaking about my love for these sweet carb filled delights with family and friends it’s clear I am not the only one.

They have to be the fruit filled kind, definitely not fruit less or chocolate or anything new like that! I even saw that people are selling vegemite versions with cheesy buns and a vegemite cross. I’m really not sure what to think about that but don’t think I will be trying them any time soon.

Hopefully as you read this I will be enjoying a hot cross bun or two and you are having a wonderful long weekend break.

My Favourite Photos from April

by Leave a Comment

As I’ve been a bit AWOL from my blog for a month or so I didn’t get an opportunity to post my favourite photos from April. I took quite a few photos on my DSLR this month but I am saving them for some posts in the coming weeks but here are my photos from my iPhone.

My Favourite Photos from April

1) A bit blurry but this photo was taking at the sailing club at sunset. It’s always nice to see the boats out in Fannie Bay because they tend to leave for the wet season because of the weather and they move back when the dry season starts.

2) This photo was taken on our Yellow Water Cruise when we visited Kakadu.

3) Another Kakadu photo this time of the highway heading down to the escarpment. The view was stunning and I made the Aussie stop quite a few times to take photos of it.

4) This little grasshopper guy was sat on the bonnet of our car and promptly launched himself off of it when I tried to take photos.

5) Another coffee time spent with one of my lovely friends. I can’t work out how they make the patterns and my coffees taste yum but look terrible.

6) Kakadu featured heaving in my pictures from April and this photo was taken at the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre.

7) April was of course Easter and this bunny was a gift from my boss at work and he was delicious!!!

8) Sunset view from our balcony – it really never gets old for me.

9) This is a weather guide/predictor which was at the Bowali Visitor Centre in Kakadu.

10) Finally a tower at the end of the highway which lead to an escarpment.
