Dr Lachlan Soper Shares a Family Bike Ride From Lower North Shore to Eastern Suburbs
Score: 9.5/10. Gee what would make it 10/10? It’s only small stuff… perhaps: Children being allowed to slowly ride their bikes through the Botanical Gardens footpath, which is currently not permitted. Flattening “Heartbreak Hill” and the hill in Darling Point 😉. Seriously, I need to check out next time whether the kids can ride along Tivoli Ave and the Hermitage Foreshore Walk, rather than up Heartbreak hill and down Vaucluse Rd. But, I can’t say this often enough, this is a world class day out for a family that loves exercise and, views and the outdoors.

Pumpkin Sludge
My life was playing out like a sad country music song. I had lost my sixteen year old dog and my thirty-seven year old baby brother within three weeks of each other. Needless to say, much time and tears were spent grieving with family members. Mommy dearest and I were the only survivors left of my immediate childhood family. My mother had taken it hard when my father passed many years ago, but losing my brother was a different kind of pain. It was a shocking kind of pain that sends you spinning into existential crisis. I could see her questioning the worth of the rest of her life. She went somewhere else in her mind. The trauma was momentarily unbearable for her. Fortunately, I had an enormous extended family that helped me to embrace my mother throughout this dark time.

With multiple historical sites and monuments including battlefields, our National Parks can teach families about the beauty of our nation’s diverse geography and ecosystems as well as bring our nation’s stories to life.

Living in Alaska
My father spent twenty years of his life serving in the Air Force, and it was during the first seventeen years of my life. Being considered an "Air Force brat" wasn't so bad. My siblings and I were used to it. We were used to moving around, seeing new places and making new friends. Military uniforms were the norm - we didn't do the "double-take" look like most people do - and we tuned out airplanes going by.
