En Irlande....
Leçon apprise dans une vieille caravane stationnaire, pendant une nuit de grand orage, écoutant Bear Grills faire son frais a la TV : Si vous êtes pris dans les marais froids et humides de l’Irlande du Nord, cherchez une carcasse de mouton assez fraiche. Retirez lui la peau à l’aide de vos mains, virez la sur elle-même et vous vous retrouverez avec un sac de couchage qui vous tiendra au chaud! A SHEEPing bag!

Notes of Wisdom from Cecilia
When creating a balcony garden, it is always a good idea to incorporate a small fish pond. It can be something as simple as a dark bottomed bucked with aquatic plants in it. The fish will fertilize the water that you can then use to feed your plants. And as a plus side, people never forget to feed a fish. And once you’re there, you’ll never forget to water the plants!

Vers Melbourne
Comme nous cherchions un calendrier pour nous aider à planifier toutes les activités possibles à faire à Melbourne pendant notre séjours, nous sommes arrivés à une vente de garage. En fouillant dans une boite de livres, nous avons trouvé un vieil agenda de 1999. À notre grande surprise, les dates correspondent exactement à celles de 2010! Reduce, Reuse Recycle!

Road Trains
In Canada, it's always impressive to see a truck pulling two trailers on the highways. Here, in the australian Bush, we often get to see these trucks pulling three and even four of these long trailers. These true road trains zoom at high speeds on small, one lane dirt roads, raising huge clouds of dust that remain in the air, obscuring visibility for kilometers on end. Hello safety...
