Continue reading →: A Day Trip to Mount BuffaloI’ll admit, I have a bit of a knack of figuring out who of my family and friends I can visit that will get me closer to possible weekend or day trips… It is the best bang for buck weekend getaway, you get to visit your nearest and dearest AND…

Continue reading →: An Overnight Hike to Pindar CaveIt’s hard to believe it now, looking back, but at the end of 2021 I still hadn’t completed an overnight hike.

Hello,
I’m Rach!
Welcome to Rachmartee, my personal collection of adventures through-out Australia over the years. Here, I invite you to join me, my friends or my pups on a journey of mishaps, bush bashes, lesser known trails, heartfelt stories and epic scenery!
I have lived and grown up within the ACT and rural NSW my whole life. Getting outside fills my heart with joy and wonder, it calms my nerves, helps me feel grounded and helps me feel connected to this world. I hope these stories and adventures will be an archive collection I can reflect back on for many years, for my family to see what I am getting up to on all these crazy trips and for my children to one day see the crazy and wild things that shaped who their mother is.
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
