Growing up as a kid, here in Australia, in the 90s, I had the pleasure of watching some weird and wonderful Australian made kids TV. 

One show, and still one of my personal favourites, was Round the Twist. A show that followed a family that lived in a lighthouse and the weird things that happened to them. It is hard to explain exactly what happens to people who haven't seen it as it just gets too weird sometimes.

But with the awesomeness of it being an Australian show, means that it was filmed here and that you can go and visit the lighthouse they used in the show. Which is something that I have wanted to do since I was little. 

So one weekend we decided to just do it. To pack up the car and venture out to the coast to see the lighthouse itself. My friend Erin and I had been meaning to make this trip for a while, but hadn't found a good weekend to do so.

Firstly the drive to Aireys Inlet, where the lighthouse is, follows the Great Ocean Road. A coastal road that goes around the bottom end of Victoria. This gave us spectacular views, and a chance to walk along the beach later on in the day. 

It was kind of unbelievable seeing the lighthouse and actually recognising it from my childhood, considering the show played such a big part in my life as I was growing up, as it was always on TV. But being here was a childhood dream come true for both of us.

Also the views from around the lighthouse itself were pretty breathtaking and beautiful. With amazing coastline stretching out as far as the eye could see. 

Can't you just see how excited we were.

Afterwards we headed back to Anglesea, a town near by and have coffee, lunch and a walk on the beach before heading off.

It was an awesome day being able to see something from my childhood in real life. It was also just one being amazing adventure of a day, considering neither of us had been there, and had always wanted to go.

What is one place that you wish you could go from your childhood?

June/July photo round up

Now that August is almost over I find it almost pointless for me to blog about things that happened in June/July and give them their own blog. I know I have been kinda slack. 

So I thought that I would put some of the photos I took up on the blog, even though they are not getting their own post. Just because they are getting in the way, and if I don't post them now I probably won't ever.

Here is a quick round up of things that I did in June/ July that would have had their own posts at the time, but don't now because I have forgotten what happened most days.

Enjoy!

Taco Tuesday

My all time favourite Mexican restaurant opened up an establishment here in Melbourne, and I was super excited about it. So we headed out to The Beached Burrito Company in Fitzroy and enjoyed some marvellous tacos.

The 10 hour drive

Heading back to Sydney by car takes a hell of a lot of time. Luckily I had a good friend with me and we passed the time by having a massive singalong to Taylor Swift (our personal queen) for the entire trip.

Some pretty skies

Early morning winter skies on my drive to work.

Return to Melbourne

Once again the long drive, accompanied by my wonderful uncle and aunt.

Can you tell I like nature shots.

Footscray Community Arts Centre

Visiting my cousin at work and stumbling upon their current (at the time) exhibition called What Lies Buried Rises. Which was a beautiful collection for NAIDOC week at the centre. 

Gertrude Street Projection Festival

A festival that celebrates projection art. Using familiar buildings of the street and projecting art pieces on them. 

Hopefully from this point on I will be more up to date with my posts and won't log a large collection of picture meant to go up, but not actually going up when intended.

April Rewind 2015.

April was kind of a crazy month.

I had a week long break from uni, several assignments and performances due and spent a ton of time with those I love. 

I got to see new places and do exciting new things, as well as study hard and spend a solid couple of days studying and doing assignments for my classes. Lucky this month I got to balance the two equally and had a grand adventure doing so. 

I got to spend a couple of days in a slightly warmer Sydney and caught up with a bunch of special people and visited my summer job and said hello to my favourites there. 

I got to go on a few glorious walks and hikes in the lovely sunshine with a couple of special puppy dogs and lazed in the sunshine with them, before heading back to a slightly gloomier Melbourne.

Hand crafted Poppies for ANZAC day

I travelled into the city on ANZAC day with my roommates to see the hand crafted poppies that were beautifully laid out in Federation Square.

I hope you all had a wonderful April.

Belated Easter weekend fun.

I had the luck of being able to go home for a week at Easter and spend the wonderful Easter weekend with my family, and also celebrate my lovely Mum's birthday.

Unfortunately since then I have been swamped with university assignment being due, so I haven't had the time to share my lovely weekend with you guys. So I thought better late than never that I would share with you some moments and pictures of my fun filled Easter weekend.

Waiting by the door.

I was lucky enough to spend my Easter break at home with my family and my gorgeous puppy. I was also lucky enough to spend Easter Sunday with my family, as we all celebrated Easter and my Mum's birthday.

We stopped by some falls on the way down, to let the dog have a toilet break, and I had a little wonder around and enjoyed the environment and natural beauty of the falls and even the surrounding landscape.

My heart.

We then spent the rest of the weekend eating food (mostly chocolate of course) and spending time with the people we love. 

I did get the remainder of the week off, but by the end of the long weekend I was stressing about the assignments I had to do, one of which I am now procrastinating on writing this blog post.

What was the best part about your Easter long weekend, if you celebrate it?

I hope you are all having a wonderful week.
