Formula SAE-A reflections
Formula SAE-A weekend always holds a special place in my heart, but this year’s event was by far my favourite to date. The competition between the teams was fierce and the EV teams are making leaps and bounds each year, developing more reliable and more competitive cars. Close to half of this year’s field was […]
Highs and lows at Retro Round for Jack Smith
I spent this year’s Supercars Sandown 500 Retro Round doing social media for the Brad Jones Racing Super 2 Series #21 car of Jack Smith. I put together a short wrap of the weekend for the team and wanted to repurpose it for myself.
The week I spent at sea
I never thought I’d be the type of person to go on a cruise. I had an abstract idea of the type of person who went on a cruise, and while I couldn’t exactly define it, I knew it definitely wasn’t me. I was even a little embarrassed to float the idea of a cruise […]
Five years of FSAE-A
December is a time where my newsfeed is full of comp results, congratulations and reflections of the FSAE-A year that was. Teams are either rejoicing in their success or committing to regroup and come back swinging the following year. Some just want to share the mountains of photos that they took during the year but […]
Becoming less busy
In 2019 I want to do more but be less busy. It sounds like a strange concept, but I’m determined to make it work. You see in 2018 I revelled in being busy. Being busy has become the catch cry of my generation. We all have our side hustles and our regular jobs and our […]

This is the beginning of our house building story and we hope that our journey will inspire you and provide answers to some of the million questions we’ve had during the process. I want to start by saying that my boyfriend and I love avocado toast. We buy avocados to eat at home and when […]
Winton SuperSprint – hits and misses
I don’t get to nearly as many races as I’d like to during the Virgin Australia Supercars season. But Winton is one round that I am yet to miss since starting volunteering with Supercars in later half of the 2015 season. The relatively quiet Supercars races offered up some unexpected wins and disappointing losses. By […]
Thigh gaps and imperfections
When I first moved to Albury, NSW in January 2016, I knew nothing about the border town, other than I had driven past it during a trip to Melbourne and coming home from Christmas camping one year. Now, almost two years later, I’m proud to call the border home. As I’ve started getting more involved with […]
Out of my comfort zone
This weekend I stepped out of the media centre and into a flag point for round one of the Winton Motor Racing Championship as a trainee flag marshal. I learned more (and knew more!) than I thought I would and have an even greater appreciation for track-side officials. Ten hours in a concrete box with […]
My opinion on opinions
WARNING: this post contains a lot of opinions; the irony is not lost on me. We all know the saying: opinions are like a** holes, everybody has one. But opinions are more than that, they make us who we are. They help to distinguish us from our peers and shape how we see the world […]
