🌿 One Year On… 🌿
Hard to believe it’s been a year since we started shaping our garden paradise in Pemberton.
Every plant, every path tells a story. The peppers are thriving, the flowers are putting on a show, and the sculptures are finding their place.
Hard work…the results…beautiful. It’s not just a garden, it’s a space to reflect, put things in perspective and enjoy life.
Here’s to year two 🌱 #PembertonLife #GardenJourney #Grateful #SouthernForests #Home Garden
Beautiful start and end of the day.
This morning we started at our place in Applecross, watching the sun rise over the Perth Hills and the Swan River — a calm start, a day still full of promise.
This eve, we’re back at our home in Pemberton, surrounded by the forest, watching the sun set through the trees. It is a completely different kind of magic, but to us a bit more beautiful, peaceful.
Two worlds, one day… both reminding me how fortunate we are.
Grateful for this life, for the journey, and for the moments in between. #Gratitude #FortunateLife #Applecross #Pemberton #sunrisesunset
Jordan & Cinda 🤍
What an awesome night!
With family, friends and their colleagues at the beautiful Indigo Oscar on Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia, two people who genuinely belong together were celebrated - the youngest son Jordan and his fiancé Cinda.
The room was full. The food was exceptional. The drinks flowed. The laughter was constant. The love genuine. What stood out most was the way they look at each other — steady, certain, joyful.
This is how legacy grows. Through love, commitment and a partnership built on strength and respect.
We are so proud of them. A beautiful evening for a beautiful future.

Some nights stay with you. The wedding celebration in Goa, overflowing with warmth, joy, and genuine love. To witness this union between Nathan and Stacy…the laughter, the tenderness, the celebration…a true privilege. What a beautiful couple. What a beautiful night 🤍. Let the party begin!
From Australia ✈️ Doha ✈️ Goa 🇮🇳
A smooth flight, a brief stopover in Doha, and then straight into the colour, warmth, and rhythm of Goa.
The first few days have been exactly what we hoped for — good food, laughter, stories, and time well spent with family and friends.

A Friday evening with the wonderful Melissa…sitting in the back yard of our home in Pemberton, Western Australia.
A glass or two of nice wine. We pause to reflect on the past year, we laugh, and look ahead…it’s good.
What a journey it has been to arrive here — our first summer in this place.
A beautiful community. Wonderful people. And the scenery… simply awesome.
Tonight is for reflection and laughter, and for standing with anticipation at the doorway that carries us deeper into 2026 — appreciating where we are, and where we are heading. Let the 2026 fun begin…
Cruising with Melissa on the Silver Moon…
About to head back out to sea after a relaxing port visit to Bali. Great service, food, wine… and of course, wonderful company.
A good choice to sail on a Silverseas cruise line — we just may have to cruise with them again. #silversea #silvermoon #cruising #retirementlifeisgood #cruiseexperience #naturalisttravel
The Start of Our Singapore Getaway 🇸🇬
Let the holiday begin! A smooth flight, some great food, and incredible service all the way to Singapore. Arrived at Changi Airport, where the Rolls-Royce to whisked us off to the Raffles Sentosa.
From the moment we stepped into our private villa — complete with plunge pool and tropical gardens — we knew this was going to be something special.
Relaxation, luxury, and a touch of adventure ahead.

Two big moves in 2025…
From the tranquil beauty of Pemberton to the iconic riverside suburb of Applecross — we are getting settled into both our new country home and our city apartment.
After years of hard work, planning, and building, it’s time to simply enjoy it all. We loved working, but we’re loving this next chapter even more.
Grateful. Grounded. Content…Happy.
Let the fun begin…

On the road again — together.💕
From the staying at the Waldorf Astoria in Versailles, to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, the Oberoi overlooking the Taj Mahal, Hotel Raphael near the Vatican, to celebrate at the Ritz-Carlton in Perth, or the Pullman in Paris — each destination has been a beautiful chapter in our shared journey.
Built on a vision, hard work, and tough choices, and love…every moment worth it — especially the joy and laughter weaved through this journey with my beautiful, supportive, inspiring wife, Melissa ❤️ …and we are on the road again…
