Milo is the chocolate powder you add to milk. Possibly the best thing humans have ever invented. I have at leave 2 a day (which is probably not healthy) But they make me so happy.

Photos of initial tourist attractions in my hometown. Places to go when you wanna relieve some stress, go for a peaceful walk, or just admire the beautiful places.

I enjoy gardening and this year had some amazing Poppies on display. This is also the symbol for Rememberance Day for those who fought and lost their lives in WW1.

I personally love the ocean, it has a very special place in my heart to find and discover little creatures who live within our world in another world of their own.

Spending a day in the Southern Highlands is a great way to unwind . Here is a pic of me at the Donald Bradman Museum . He is a famous Australian Cricket legend.

Every Friday, I serve at my church as a youth leader. I love it, and found that through being a mentor in young people's lives, I can truly make a difference.

Sitting by the water, cicadas humming in the background on a hot summer day. Sketchbook pages wet with water colour, swimming in the cool water. Life is good.

My keepsake is that I am a surf life saver. That means every Sunday during summer I volunteer my time to patrol the beach. There I interact with many people.

One of the meditation classes I teach is Movement Meditation. It’s a way to express and release through movement to music, rather than having to sit still.

Just about everyone has one team that they are very dedicated to! In my city, the crowds are always full and winning can be celebrated for days after!!

My friends in Melbourne love to go out for drinks at night. Especially since cocktails have so many different flavours, aromas and stories behind them.

I love taking photos with this camera. It is so rustic and shows how memories are never perfect, plus a physical copy is great to hang up on my walls.

Midnight Driving is when you and a few friends go out driving late at night without any certain destination. You just drive around listening to music

There is a camel farm around an hour from where I live where you can feed the camels and try their milk! (It's weirdly nutty and savoury but nice).

I'm often found walking along one of the many beaches in my town. I'm here either with friends, family, or by myself - and almost always with my dog

My family shares a meal usually on Christmas day (25th Dec) or the day before. For us, its less about the religious meaning and more about family.

This place is just very special and peaceful. It’s not far from where I live. After a heavy rainfall, I like to ride here and check out the falls.

My journal is my personal book that I dump all of my feelings into and stick photos that I love into it too. I cannot live without this journal.

This landmark can be seen while driving through the Tullamarine freeway, fondly referred to as a large chip with tomato sauce (the red sticks).
