About me

 

My Name is Joanne Pick, and I’d like to welcome you to my blog,                     

Australian Walkabout – Caravanning Camping Touring.

Perhaps all you need to know about me is that I love photography, I see a lot of the world through a lens. I love writing, I tend to waffle on a bit, and I love Australia. So, in planning our travels around this great land it seemed natural that I combine my passions and develop this blog. 

I was born in England and emigrated here when I was about twenty-two. I only mention this because it intrigues me how much I really do love this country. It’s worlds apart from where I grew up. Lifestyle, space, distance, wildlife and culture. It was all alien to me though it didn’t take me long to adapt to the Australian way of life. 

And you know what? Even after thirty-five years I still get those, “OMG. I’m in Australia!” moments like I just arrived yesterday.

I have friends and family overseas and this is my way of showcasing Australia to them. It’s also aimed at my fellow Australians in the hope that I can encourage them to look to their own backyard when planning their next holiday. This many faceted country of ours has so much to offer, if you only take the time to look.

More importantly, I hope to keep a full account of my travels with Peter, because as many of you know…my memory sucks.

I hope to share our travel destinations and experiences. The good, the bad and the funny. And I would love to hear from you as well. So, feel free to share your stories and experiences with us all.

Well, that’s just a little bit about me. If you want to know more, ask. Or simply follow my blog. I’m sure you will get to know me better as Peter and I continue to explore and write about our travels.

This is my blog; I hope you enjoy it.
