In Australia they hang birdcages; in New Zealand they hang umbrellas… which do you like better? I can’t decide!

While I absolutely adore the colors of the umbrellas on Guthrey Lane in Christchurch, I LOVE the creativity and novelty of the bird cages – although, Angel Place in Sydney could get the best of both worlds by painting their birdcages… just a thought…



Which do you like better?

When downtown is a ghost town, I have the chance to multitask at the store… and this past week has been COLD, which means I have about a DOZEN new necklaces to reveal soon – so stay tuned! I love how they’ve all turned out and can’t wait to share 🤗

As visually impressive and stunning as this masterpiece is, it is also pensive and somber – representing the aboriginal lives lost since British colonialism in Australia… but the work is gorgeous and one of my favorite exhibits at the !

I was absolutely astounded by how “ok” this wild kookaburra was with us being in such close proximity inside the Sydney Botanic Gardens 🤯 Respectfully, we didn’t push our limits to see how close we could get (especially since I don’t know much about kookaburra behavior and that beak looks gnarly 🤣)!

Fun fact: the song “Land Down Under” got in a copy-write infringement lawsuit because of its closeness to the song “Kookaburra Sits In the Old Gum Tree”

I think this piece caught my eye at the because it reminds me so much of my friends amazing work of a pole-dancing taxidermy opossum (although I think if THIS were the “pole” it would be one of the greatest pieces of art ever made…) 🤪

“Hey, go ride the lizard!”… he’s such a good sport 😍🤣

Here are a few highlights from our quick visit to the Australian National Botanic Gardens (featuring: a giant lizard, , and a life-sized cassowary). Sadly, our visit was cut a bit short because of sore feet, but the local flora (and fauna!) we did get to admire were fantastic and we loved the whimsical decorative and educational elements along the way 🤗

It is Monday…

P.S. I started working on my blog post about our whole trip to Australia like I did for New Zealand, but it’s probably going to take me a while… hopefully not as long as last time though, so stay tuned!

SURPRISE! I made another blog post: this time about my mission to see some of the most obscure/deformed/culturally significant TREES around the world – something I think everyone should do (as an added bonus, I included my compiled list of “destination trees”) 🤗

We’re all seeing the impact of climate change in California in the news these days, but trees play more than a crucial role in healthy ecosystems; they also play critical spiritual roles to individuals/communities/cultures, both historically and currently.

Again, to read the post, use the link in my bio (or use this: https://www.dazydukers.com/post/trees-as-destinations-around-the-world) 🌳🌲🌴

My list is dynamic and could use your help! If you know of any specific trees worthy of a shoutout, let me know in the comments 👇

Have you added “visit the glow worms” to your bucket list yet?

I told you I’d never stop 😉 I also highly encourage you to check out my blog (specifically my new post about my glow worm experiences with and .adventures ) using the link in my bio 🤗

Can you tell how excited I am to share my fascination with these magnificent little creatures with the world? I can’t emphasize enough how highly I would recommend adding “glow worm touring” to your itinerary if you’re visiting (or a resident of) New Zealand – particularly the North Island, Northern Alabama, or Eastern Australia!

Glow worms AGAIN, you say? To that, I say: I’ll never stop 🤩

In other exciting news, for the first time in a while, DazyDukers.com has a NEW BLOG POST – where I describe and compare our surreal experiences visiting the glow worms in Waitomo, New Zealand (in the most epic way possible with the incredible ); at in Alabama; and in the Blue Mountains, Australia (with .adventures)! Or what we affectionately call “the Glow Worm Trifecta” 🤗 Check it out using the link in my bio (or here: https://www.dazydukers.com/post/bucket-list-item-checked-the-glow-worm-trifecta)
