Wonder Of A Wander

''Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" J.R.R. Tolkien

Australia's outbacks are great for any kind of walkabout you could wish for.

There are plenty of places to go for a wander.

I like walking on the beach, around a lake, in a forest, or in a park - I haven't really dared to go on a walkabout just yet.

If I could, though, I would love to do a 'flyabout', like an osprey.

It is so great to have the possibility to just go for a walk, to have a wander around.

It is one of my favorite pastimes.

I see so many fascinating phenomena wherever I am, either on the beach walk or anywhere else.

I love watching crabs organizing their whereabouts in the morning, preparing for the rest of the day.

In the same way, I love watching an osprey taking off from its lookout and going for a hunt in the ocean.

Coming back with its dinner and eating it on the beach. Just a perfect spot to do it!

There is so much beauty in the world, anywhere I am, everywhere around.

I like to go for a walk - quite often I don't mind where I go; if asked I'd say that 'I will go there and back again'.

I cherish my freedom

One of my favourite walks is from Burns Beach all the way to Mindarie. I could easily let myself get lost and stay on Clayton Beach forever.

That's where my wanderings take me mostly - and I enjoy them.

The wonder of nature makes me wander quite often - there is not much we can control in nature, nothing really. And that's what makes it so wonderful.

Staying close to nature

I physically sense the joy of freedom when watching seagulls or ospreys flying around the ocean.

Free spirit and free mind

Walks on the beach are good for me; they set my soul free.
