Want to play postman for a day? Then get out on the #hawkesburyriver with @theriverboatpostman and deliver the mail (and cases from Dan Murphy) to remote water-access-only properties. Delicious Anzac biscuits and lunch included. Scroll ➡️ to see the view from the post boat ( a huge catamaran), stunning rock formations, and skipper Randall Ferrington regaling guests with fascinating anecdotes of life on the water. My story in Sunday Telegraph Escape today. #riverboatpostman #boatinglife #daytrip

Catch the summer breeze from the deck of @cottagepointkiosk as you tuck into delicious seafood or a burger. There’s plenty of entertainment as kayaks, tinnies, speed boats, cruisers and yachts come and go. We had fun rating people’s boating skills as they approached. If you’re inspired, you can hire a kayak or runabout for your own aquatic adventure. Just make sure to book. #cottagepointkiosk #restaurantaustralia #riversidedining

Such an honour to write this story on Dr Tonia Cochran of @inala_jurassic_garden for @australiangeographic magazine this month. Her desire to showcase the Gondwanan connection through plants from different parts of the world led to her #jurassicgarden on @tasmania Bruny Island. It now has 700 species from 50 plant families and the garden is contributing to the Global Genome Initiative for Gardens.
