Sara's Wanderlust Gallery

Hi, friends!

Long time, no see! You might be wondering why this page suddenly appeared on your feed. This is Sara, and this used to be Dr. Estuart Children's Clinic Online.

Since my last post on this page, which Facebook has reminded me was 139 days ago, I've settled quite nicely in my new home and new job in Adelaide, Australia. We arrived in the Summer, experienced a beautiful Autumn, and now are freezing in Winter. 🥶

Thankfully, my current job gives emphasis on a good work-life balance, allowing us to travel quite a bit around our city and around Australia. As my photos have just been sitting prettily in my phone gallery in the past 4 months, I’ve decided to showcase them here to share with all of you. ☺️ will be posting some from time to time (when my energy allows, haha).

Let me start with some snaps of Adelaide in Autumn at Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens & the Adelaide Hills. The colors are so beautiful!

Nice to see you all again! 🐨
