I was stunned to discover Govett’s Leap, one of the most iconic views in the Blue Mountains, is a short roll on the bike from Blackheath town centre. I’ve always wrongly assumed it must take days to hike into this incredible place. Next time I visit, I would love to learn more about the long history before Scottish surveyor William Govett set foot here 1831. Can anyone put me in touch with a First Nations guide please? #BlueMountains #Heritage #Culture

A thorn between two [not] roses:

Last time I posted pretty flowers on instagram, I quite rightly got pulled for promoting an invasive weed. So to make up for my naivety, here’s a shot of the native Waratah
(Telopea speciosissima)🧐
Measuring up to 15cm across, this crimson beauty and NSW floral emblem is found in spring on sandstone ridges around Sydney, in nearby mountain ranges and on the NSW South Coast. My inner Lancashire Rose says it wants to twin with the wild Waratah. #soulmates #narrowneck #waratah #whatisawonmybikeride #bluemountains #nsw #austrailia #thetrailtart

Latest article examines how travel can be a force

Latest article examines how travel can be a force for good even when you’re not travelling. It’s a brain teaser I tacked for @adventurecom . And one I was happy to stretch my grey matter over after recent events in Afghanistan left the world feeling helpless. Thinking of the many citizens there who stand for human rights and equality, and whose lives remain in danger. If you have any ideas to add, I’d love to hear them. (Link in bio.)

Mountain Biking has boomed during the pandemic and I was thrilled to report on why this fun-charged sport has completely frothed over in Australia for the latest edition of Signature Luxury Travel & Style, which is all about gearing us up for post-covid travel trends.

We still can’t travel internationally, but it’s so cool our memories can - especially when triggered by smells and tastes, like the zing of cardamon in my Arabic coffee, which transported me straight back to The West Bank.

Speaker and advocate for peace and justice in Palestine, Issa Shaweesh, invited me to his daughter’s cafe after reading my story in @mindfoodmag. Here in Newtown, Chef Sara Shaweesh offers a mouthwatering vegan slice of Palestine served up with quintessential hospitality: Bedouin pockets; Jerusalem bowls; the best hummus, falafel and Knaffeh I’ve eaten since I trekked The Palestine Heritage Trail (@ph_trail ) with guide @anwardawabsha - a journey hosted by families that will be forever embedded in my heart. Thanks for bringing fond memories @khamsacafenewtown
