In full bloom, Australia’s little known State Rose Garden of Victoria assaults to the senses. The eyes feast on a myriad of coloured blooms, each with a unique and complex structure.

Driving around Ireland with a loose itinerary and open dates, we travelled roads often ignored by tourists. The rugged Beara Peninsula in the SW of Ireland is frequently overlooked but we were rewarded by quaint villages, rugged rocky terrain and beautiful vistas. The vista from the Healy Pass is a wondrous surprise after the slow and winding journey up the the Caha Mountains.
