Happy Tenth Birthday to the most popular member of the FORA team.

We have enjoyed 30 years of Boxer companionship, and Ivy has been one of the sweetest and let’s be honest, perhaps the fattest boxer to grace our home, hence her nickname “Dumpy”

She loves her travels with us, and she is our number one priority. Hoping for many more birthdays with her yet.

Back to sharing our Japan Holiday. 📆March 2026

Immediately after we booked into our hotel in Hiroshima, we walked around to the Atomic Bomb Dome. Probably one of the most photographed landmarks in Hiroshima, but despite this, your first real life glimpse makes you gasp. Seeing these ruins and the destruction was quite hard hitting

On the 6 August 1945 at 8:15am, the Genbaku Dome was just 160 metres from the hypocenter of the atomic bomb.

Hiroshima made a deliberate choice not to repair it, or demolish it. It’s stood exactly as it was left, first as a difficult reminder, now as part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.

Driving through the farmland of the Southern Flinders in the last week of winter was stunning. The canola was in full flower and some crops stretched across hundreds of acres. At times it was all vibrant gold as far as we could see, and the smell was glorious. I think Leisa might just be starting to prefer the scent of canola over old fashioned roses.

A gentle reminder though: admire these canola crops from the fence line. Please don’t hop into the crops for an Instagram selfie. You can be creative with your photography without getting right in amongst it. These crops are someone’s livelihood. Not to mention the amount of brown snakes we saw slithering around the edge of the paddocks.

F***y the Fiat was our home for 4 days while we travelled around the Southern Flinders. Being a rental motorhome, she had some quirks - like when you plugged in the kettle, the cord was too short for the kettle to sit on the bench, (we took some video, so keep an eye out for it)

But she kept us warm, had great fuel economy and took us to some beautiful spots.

Old School vs New School.

Southern Flinders has quite a few wind turbines on a few on the hills. When we saw the old school windmill dwarfed by the wind turbines we had to stop and take a photo.

Just some of the beautiful little towns we traveled through over the past few days.

Dotted throughout the paddocks of the Southern Flinders are the ruins of old stone cottages and homesteads. There is quite a number of them. Every time we pass one, we slow down and wondering about the fate that cause these no doubt once beautiful homes to turn to ruins,

If we had not caught the travel bug, we would probably have bought one of these old stone cottages ourselves and spent our years bringing it back to life. Come on Lotto Win!

FIVE THINGS WE LEARNT FROM RENTING A MOTORHOME

1. We never realised how much we relied on an inverter. This one didn’t have one, so charging camera batteries and laptops became a daily mission.

2. Small spaces need good and thoughtful design. Between the TV, the cupboards and the bulkhead, we have both cracked our heads more times than we can count.

3. A van without a dog is meh. We miss Ivy. One more sleep till we see her again.

4. Drop down beds are not for us. Just not our cup of tea.

5. Leisa cannot post to social media in real time, despite her best intentions. Photography comes easily and so does staying in the moment instead of losing every evening to the socials. It was super stressful to remember to post everyday. So Bulk delayed scheduling stays, even if it means weeks between posts.

On this date, 30 years ago we went on our first date. From across the table, Matt could not keep his eyes off me.
