“Why are you going to Canberra? It’s so boring there.” This was the refrain from so many before our last winter girl’s trip to Canberra. Yet after spending three days in our vibrant capital city I can emphatically say they were wrong. […]
Patagonia – the vast region that straddles Chile and Argentina at the southern end of South America – has been on my bucket list since I read Bruce Chatwin’s iconic travel book, In Patagonia, in the 90s. It took me 30 years to […]
