- Yep, you can use a ‘keep cup’ during Covid-19. Here’s the facts. Hello. This is a post I wrote to help coffee drinkers and cafe owners navigating the HUGE misconception that, “You can’t use reusable, or BYO, cups during Covid”. Fact is: you can. So why is everyone saying you can’t? Same reason that everyone panic-bought toilet paper…because everyone else panic-bought toilet paper. Time to bust this more
- How meet your local MP to talk climate About a year ago, as we emerged from the bushfires here in Australia and concern escalated about what the hell our leaders were doing to combat climate change, I suggested we all go and talk to our MPs and tell them what we think. It’s our right. It’s our responsibility. I said I would go more
- I have a simmering rage. I do love this passage by Lang Leav from The Universe of Us. Rage is upon us. At this moment in his-story, it might be her-time. Rage, when nurtured and directed right, is thoroughly appropriate and needed. In This One Wild and Precious Life I refer rage as necessary for courage, which we need right more
- A hiking guide to King Island, Tasmania A trip to King Island, anchored in the middle of the Bass Strait between Victoria and Tasmania’s North West coast, is not likely to be what you expect. It’s wilder and remoter than popular lore would suggest and you’ll struggle to get a good latte. The hikes are unmarked, the food options limited (due to the remoteness; more

- I’m reading books about wild women. Here are a few I love. It’s a theme that found me, rather than the the way around. I’ve hit my late 40s and realised I live a certain way and I have chosen a particular path that doesn’t fit the standard. And I’ve been doing an investigation to own it most fully and joyously. So that it does not all more
- A mountainbiking guide to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia Have you been to the incredible Flinders Ranges in the South Australian outback yet? Not so many have. Which is madness. The place is a supreme mix of outback expansiveness mixed with stunning rock formations and surprisingly oasis-lush landscape reminiscent at times of California or Greece…all within a few hours drive of Adelaide. Well four-to-five, more
- When wellness friends get caught up in QAnon conspiracies: some resources Earlier this week I decided to write an oped for The Guardian about a phenomenon plaguing many of us – how people we know, mostly “loose” friends from Facebook who, more often than not, are wellness warriors or spiritual types, have suddenly bought into QAnon-inspired conspiracy theories. I wrote the piece because I was really more
- This One Wild and Precious Life Bookclub Guide When I was writing This One Wild and Precious Life, I held a bunch of discussion groups with people I met out and about. These people – mostly strangers – wanted to chat about “what’s going on with life”, so I invited them to various get-togethers, usually over some wine and cheese, to talk through more
- Welcome to This One Wild and Precious Life This One Wild and Precious Life is my latest book. Below you will find all the details, resources, links and fun bits that you might need as a reader, journalist or otherwise. The book took me three years to research and write (while hiking it!).
