I’ve skipped a few weeks of recaps, unfortunately, and that’s a combination of pure laziness as well as being limited to what I am wanting to share with the public on the open web.
I think I will stop making these recaps on a perfect weekly basis and instead make recaps when that week has had significant, fun things that are worth reading about, and that are not too private.
I still keep a daily journal on my new Apple, and I like to reflect on all my thoughts on a weekly basis, but I will curate what I wish to share publicly at the end of each week, and if there is enough to share, I will …
Last month, I went for a final hike in the Lerderderg Gorge basically, at the end of summer. And unfortunately, most of the Lerderderg Gorge hiking trails will be closed over Autumn due to planned burning.
These are done, essentially, to keep us, and the surrounds safe here in Australia by minimising the damage a bush fire causes in the more dangerous and drier months.
So for now, Lerderderg will unfortunately not be on my list of locations for fungi photography until a little later in the year. Hopefully I will be able to find some sturdier species coming into winter though!

I did my first #NightHike in #Darkness on the weekend in #WerribeeGorge. As the daylight came out, so did the wallabies! Here’s a cute video of one I took:
Hiking has become a cherished activity for me, and it’s even more special when shared with loved ones. Two days ago, I embarked on a hike with my mother through the Whipstick Loop Walk, located in Blackwood, Victoria, within the Wombat State Forest. This 5.8 km loop trail, which takes about two hours to complete, is a relatively easy and scenic walk, perfect for someone like my mother, who is rediscovering hiking after decades.
The trail is known for its diverse landscapes, ranging from ferny rainforests near the river to classic Australian bushland with towering eucalypts. It’s a sensory …

This week was during annual leave and some time to myself, as well as plenty of time to go do things with the family over the weekends.
