My First Post - Welcome to my blog

 

Hi there!

I’m Bryan, and I’m glad you’ve dropped by. I’m a bit of a nature lover and have a few hobbies that keep me close to the outdoors – beekeeping, gardening, and photography, to name a few. I also enjoy exploring the nearby towns and places of interest. 

You’ll find me sharing a mix of stories here, whether it’s about tending to my bees, capturing a great photo, or finding a new favourite spot around town.

Sustainability is really important to me, so you’ll see that woven through a lot of what I do. Beekeeping, for instance, isn’t just about honey (although that’s a bonus!) – it’s a way to support our local pollinators and give back to nature a bit. 

And when I’m in the garden, I’m always thinking about how to grow things in a way that’s good for the earth. So bring on the dirt and vegetable pics!

Occasionally, I’ll chat about fitness, too, since staying active is another part of my life. I try to keep it all simple and grounded, and I’m excited to share these interests with you! So whether you’re into bees, plants, photography, or just looking for a bit of inspiration, I hope you find something here that makes you feel right at home. Thanks for stopping by!

I’m in my mid-50s, living in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne’s outer east, where the lush greenery and mountain views are a perfect backdrop for a nature enthusiast like me. Though I was born in New Zealand, I’ve called Australia home for nearly 30 years now – enough to feel like a true Aussie at heart. The Dandenongs have been a great spot to settle down, offering endless inspiration and a close-knit community that makes it easy to enjoy the slower, scenic side of life.

In my earlier days, I wore a few different hats (still ended up going bald) that took me all over and kept me close to the water. I worked as a lifeguard and even spent time on the water as a sailor, picking up a fair share of stories and skills along the way. 

My love for the outdoors goes back as far as I can remember, with motorcycles, fishing trips, and camping adventures filling my time whenever I could manage. I’ve always enjoyed the thrill of exploring and the freedom of being out in nature.

Now, while my pursuits have shifted, that love of the outdoors hasn’t changed. Whether it’s beekeeping, gardening, or simply exploring new spots around the region, I find there’s always something new to learn or see. Each of these hobbies feels like a natural extension of those earlier days, and I’m looking forward to sharing those connections and stories here on the blog.
