judetullochartist NEW SITE COMING
Right now I’m working on a total redesign of my site. I’m aiming to make it easier to navigate around the three broad areas I blog about: ART, TRAVEL, and NATURE. The work is “backend” out of sight to the viewer, so for the moment, my site will be a simple blog roll with perhaps a little less activity than usual. Stay tuned though for a new, more visually exciting website.

A Processionary Caterpillar Breaks Away
“As the caterpillars grow, a brown stocking-like nest of silk is formed at the base of the tree at the spot where the eggs were first laid.” Queensland Museum That’s what I first saw when weeding around this tree. I thought it was animal fur but my instinct told me no, as there was no […]

Yak on Track: Bhutan Memories
Confined to couch with a nasty bout of Laryngitis, I recently read Yak on Track by Heather Mc Niece, who, with a very fit friend, did Bhutan’s Snowman trek, one of the hardest treks in the Himalayas, with fourteen high altitude passes, spectacular scenery and ever changing weather conditions.

There is a pub, (built circa 1910 and for sale when I passed through), a couple of cafes, a caravan park, a service station, school and a gem […]

Towards the end of his life, with the help of wonderful carers, dad put together photocopies of his favourite photos of my sister Rob, my mother Jill, and me. I do not recall whether this was my ‘favourite’ toy. […]

Road Trip of my dreams
I am taking this opportunity to re-live my wonderful road trip in the USA in 2019. We are still locked out of the wider world down under in Australia. It seems bizarre and unreal. I appreciate the road trip my husband and I did in the USA all the more in the current context. The […]

Peregian Creek flows again
The little water hole where I spotted the Wren’s nest is now a bubbling creek. There’s a monsoonal low to the north right now, causing rain, high tides and blustering winds on the Sunshine Coast. A shame for the tourists who have flocked from the southern states now that the border is finally open, that […]
