Gibraltar Range National Park in Winter: Cold Hands, Warm Fires and Waterfalls

Mulligans Hut at Gibraltar Range National Park
One of the first stops after arriving was Mulligans Hut, a simple timber slab hut tucked amongst the forest. Built during the area's timber-getting days, it provides a reminder that these forests have a human history as well as a natural one.

Six Months Into Retirement: What I've Learned So Far


Six Months Into Retirement and Heading Away Again

It's been a while since I last posted on Tiny Camper. (Six months!)

For many years this blog followed our camping adventures while I balanced work, weekends away, and plans for retirement. Then retirement finally arrived. After all those years of planning, it has been surprisingly liberating to find myself on the other side of it.

Now, six months later, I thought it was time for an update.

No rush. No timetable. Just the road ahead.

Home again. Year end.

We left Diggers Camp last Saturday. It was a quick pack up because we'd taken down the annexe tent the previous evening, as well as packed up the solar panel and controller. It was easy then to roll up awning and put things away. Practice makes perfect. 

I'd planned to blog each day of my retired life but failed to do so after only 6 days? Maybe I ought to blog weekly? Id like to keep it up but it's easy to forget to do it. The writing is a meditation for me. 

Since returning I've been riding into gym, completing a strength session and riding home. Feels great. 

I am reading Peter Attia's book Outlive. (Listening actually).

The doctors called and want an appointment next week. Apparently someone who is not my doctor put notes on my latest test results that I may need to retest. Will learn more after I pay for another consult. Very medicine 2.0 as I move into medicine 3.0.

Photo? My bike at gym.
