I’ve got reviews + giveaways for Australian hemp seeds and a gluten-free baking book coming up in the next few posts. But first, a few photos I’ve snapped since the 2nd baby + moving to “The Outback.”

Free advice: don’t take the gravel road to Darwin in the wet season. It’s a river.

“But what are you going to eat up there?”
Ahahahahahaha food.
It’s an intense landscape… with lots of tropical fruit farms just down the road!
