Helena Pipehead Walk and the Wandrd VEER bag

On Easter Saturday, I went for a hike with a friend in Kalamunda National Park. We were looking for a relatively short hike given we both haven’t been hiking in a long while. We did some research on TrailsWA and Life of Pye (our go to hiking resource if you live in WA) to find a suitable hike and settled on Helena Pipehead Walk. It’s a relatively easy 5.3km loop. One of the things I enjoy about hiking is that almost everyone you meet on your hike will say hi or have a friendly chat. It was the same when I was in New Zealand and in Tasmania.

Mid-week day out at Island Market and Milk Barrel

As we had a few days off for Chinese New Year, we decided to take the opportunity to take our parents out for lunch and dessert mid-week. We drove up north to Scarborough to Island Market for lunch. It was such a beautiful day out. We were sitting by the window and could see the blue ocean and white sandy beach. It was calming to be enjoying a lovely middle eastern inspired meal with the family. I definitely recommend Island Market to those who haven’t been before.

Photo story of a morning at the Farmers Market on Manning

A couple of weekends ago, I met up with some friends at Manning Farmers’ Market. From my previous blog post you know that I recently took the Wandrd Roam Sling camera bag to the market with me. It was able to carry my camera gear and my every day items to the market. The camera configuration for the day was the Fujifilm X-T4 and the XF 35mm f1.4 lens. My favourite combination for casual shooting out and about. It was a lovely Saturday morning at the market.
