Making The Most Of It
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DGH3343_thumb-190x127.jpg
Mon. 8th July 2019 And so, this is it. The last day of our Australia trip. Our flight, though, is not until late tonight and we are determined not to give in to end of trip-itis and to make best …
Broken Promise
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DGH3325_thumb-190x190.jpg
Sun. 7th July 2019 We promised ourselves that we would walk less today, but that promise was doomed as soon as we saw the steps up to the 10,000 Buddhas Temple after lunch. I am getting ahead of myself as …
Transport Options
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DGH3254_thumb-190x127.jpg
Sat. 6th July 2019 For all of the walking we did yesterday, we stuck to the main tourist centres of Kowloon and the facing shore on Hong Kong island. Indeed, you can’t get more touristy than the Star Ferry shuttling …
If Only The Map Was 3D
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DSF2427_thumb-190x127.jpg
Fri. 5th July 2019 At breakfast in the hotel, I find a book called The Heritage Hiker’s Guide to Hong Kong and that one of the walks described ends near our hotel. Guess what, we decide to walk the route …
To Boldly Go
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DGH3106_thumb-190x127.jpg
Wed. 3rd July 2019 We had a bit of a quandary as to how to spend our second (and last) day in Brisbane and specifically as to whether to stay in town or whether to hop on a train to …
A Free Day In Brisbane
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DSF2316_thumb-190x127.jpg
Tue. 2nd July 2019 The travelling and flight from Darwin took up most of yesterday, so even we cannot fill a full blog post about that! Moving on to the next day, we knew little about Brisbane, so decided the …
Getting To Grips With History
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DSF2265_thumb-190x127.jpg
Sun. 30th June 2019 We’ve got used to coincidences happening and unexpected connections being made as we travel – for example, the story of Janet replayed yesterday of John McDouall Stuart and the Overland telegraph; or crossing the Adelaide River …
Goodbye Lovely Beast
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DSF2237_thumb-153x190.jpg
Sat. 29th June 2019 The Land Cruiser is due back mid afternoon so we are making the most of our last morning and drive to East Point and Darwin Military Museum. We arrive to the sound of an air raid …
Another Mode Of Transport
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DGH2937_thumb-190x127.jpg
Fri. 28th June 2019 We’d given up hope of getting a trip on the wetlands in an airboat. The tours only run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and even then, there doesn’t seem to be a set schedule. It seems …
Homage To John McDouall Stuart
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DSF2081_thumb-128x190.jpg
Thur. 27th June 2019 At breakfast, I say my mission for today is to photograph a wallaby with a joey in its pouch. Although there are many wallabies hopping around the cabins, I have not seen any with a baby …
