Continue reading →: Koombanda CanyonSometime in December 2022, I had an idea to go through a canyon solo. I honestly can’t recall exactly why I wanted to do this, I think it was mostly for the serenity, the feeling of being in a canyon alone (safely) or maybe friends were busy and I didn’t…

Continue reading →: Whungee Whengee CanyonAhh Whungee Whengee Canyon! When I first heard about this canyon I was honestly terrified. An epically long canyon constriction filled with a series of ‘duck unders’. Yes, you heard that right. There are a series of spots where, to progress through this canyon, you are required to take a…

Continue reading →: Butterbox CanyonThere is a lot of hype around Butterbox Canyon, and I am not sure I would say its one of my favourites. The main canyon section is EPIC, don’t get me wrong, but I find the scrubby creek bash and climbing exit a little less fun. However, you can’t deny…

Continue reading →: A Week in the Red CentreI happened to be keeping a close eye on flight deals, and suddenly one popped up for a $40 flight to Uluru! I had never been to Australia’s Red Centre or to Uluru, so the opportunity was seized! I originally thought I would just go for a weekend, but after…

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…

Halfway through planning my mum decided to book a family trip away to Hamilton Island overlapping the same dates I was thinking for my road…

The Kosciusko National Park is also the largest National Park in NSW, so you really can’t beat the adventures here. Growing up in Canberra I was spoilt that the Snowy Mountains was only a…

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!
