The smell of eucalyptus is something that I think defines Australia. I remember coming home from spending a month overseas in New Zealand and as soon as I headed down the freeway south, I could tell I was back home. Although I’d left the country not realising it, the scent of the eucalypt trees is overwhelming. I guess having been born and raised here, my nose has long become accustomed to the smell.

I’ve always had a keen interest in the environment and wildlife, even from an early age. I grew up on a diet of David Attenborough documentaries and had Foxtel been around in my childhood, no doubt I would have been a Discovery Channel addict. My fondest holiday memories are of vacations spent where there was an abundance of wildlife and to this day, I would rather holiday within close proximity to the bush and leave the city lights behind.

If you want to know more about me and the blog in general, it’s all here.
