(written on January 9th from notes) I hung out for a while in the van this morning, it being a bit rainy, before heading down for a brief walk to the falls. Accidentally drained my car battery down again and was grateful for a later 20-something German couple who gave me a jump start. I … Continue reading 2025-12-03 (Wednesday) — To The Gorge!

2025-12-02 (Tuesday) — Kaiate Reprise
(Written on January 9th from notes taken previously) Spent a bit of the morning veging out watching Picard. It's a but nostalgic watching it. I used to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation as a young teenager, and it's just sort of fun to see the continuation of the story of some of the characters. … Continue reading 2025-12-02 (Tuesday) — Kaiate Reprise
2025-12-01 (Monday) — Kaiate Plunge
(written December 31st from notes taken previously) Despite being in a place I very much enjoy, I spent a pretty good chunk of the day just in my van, not even going down to the falls. 😅 I did do a fair bit of rubbish collection, though. Eventually, I did head down to the waterfalls, … Continue reading 2025-12-01 (Monday) — Kaiate Plunge
2025-11-30 (Sunday) — A Little River Walk
(written on December 28th and 29th from notes taken previously) I woke up this morning having been undisturbed through the night. 🙏 Whether that means my understanding of the laws is accurate, or it's just that no one came by to check, I don't know, but I'm grateful either way. 🙏 I planned to do … Continue reading 2025-11-30 (Sunday) — A Little River Walk
2025-11-29 (Saturday) — Vegetable
(written on December 28th from notes taken previously) I was pretty much just a vegetable today. 😅 I didn't even leave the Freedom camping spot until a little after three in the afternoon 😶, being almost completely useless to the world other than spending some time walking around the parking lot picking up trash. So … Continue reading 2025-11-29 (Saturday) — Vegetable
2025-11-28 (Friday) — Cliff Me, Beach Me
(Written on December 26th from notes taken previously) Got up and ate breakfast and then ran into a bit of difficulty finding a bathroom. Most freedom camping places have bathrooms available on site, but I didn't see any this time, so I looked on the map and found a public restroom not too far away … Continue reading 2025-11-28 (Friday) — Cliff Me, Beach Me
2025-11-27 (Thursday) — Pixelated 🥳
(written on November 28th from notes) This little boy is a little more judicious with his night time farts with other campers parked next to me when he has the windows down. 🙃 Usually, I just belt them out like tuba in short bursts. 😅 As a light sleeper, it wakes me up significantly more … Continue reading 2025-11-27 (Thursday) — Pixelated 🥳
2025-11-26 (Wednesday) — Ocean Caves Day
(written on November 28th from notes taken previously) Got up, second night in this particular freedom camping spot. Drove my way over to the bathrooms on the other side of the athletic field, made my deposit, and then drove north to visit Pokino Beach. It was a pretty rocky gravel road, with what looked like … Continue reading 2025-11-26 (Wednesday) — Ocean Caves Day
2025-11-25 (Tuesday) — Wentworth Swimming Hole
(written on December 24th from notes taken previously) Spent a little time journaling this morning before heading out and finding the bathroom at the other side of the very large sports park. I had lots of recyclable trash that had been building up for a while because I hadn't run into a place that offered … Continue reading 2025-11-25 (Tuesday) — Wentworth Swimming Hole
2025-11-24 (Monday) — Daytime Rest Time
(written on the 24th of December from notes taken previously) Well, gratefully, nobody bothered me for the few hours that I was sleeping in that little parking lot. I headed from there over to the Hot Water Beach parking lot, hoping to enjoy the experience of the hot springs without the crowds. Of course, I … Continue reading 2025-11-24 (Monday) — Daytime Rest Time
