Australian business owner Peter Harris recently completes an epic two-year project to visit every Australian town mentioned in the Geoff Mack classic tune ‘I’ve been everywhere’, keeping in contact with his clients via Docsaway while on the road.
The 42-year-old ‘I’ve been everywhere man’ visited Birdsville to complete his unusual mission, which was originally fuelled by a desire to appreciate the sheer size of Australia and to raise awareness and money for The Fred Hollows Foundation.

There is a new strawberry in the patch and I’m in love.
Strawberry Communications has rebranded the feedback so far has been impressive. You may have already caught a glimpse of the fresh pink strawberry, seen the new Strawberry Communications website or noticed the updated newsletter template.
For those of you who knew the original Strawberry Communications brand, you will see the colours are the same, except for the introduction of a neutral beige which lifts everything.
When I first launched the business almost four years ago I loved the strawberry design, but always felt there could be something more. Or the brand could say more. Or something should be different… One of the problems when briefing the graphic designer then was my ambivalence about exactly what I wanted.

Baby Ear Muffs
As parents, we protect our kids with sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, clothing and shoes…but what about protecting their ears? The louder the noise and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of permanent hearing damage as children’s audio function develops.
Online store Baby Ear Muffs Australia offers parents the option to buy ear muffs for children and babies to protect their ears at concerts, festivals and motor racing events from unsafe levels of noise resulting in potential hearing damage.
Ear muffs can be used for children who have Autism Spectrum and Sensory Processing disorders and they are an invaluable tool in minimising stress and discomfort from sudden or excessive noises in shopping centres or classrooms.
Imagine business life working alongside like-minded mums who understand you, your business, and, most importantly, your responsibilities as a mother. The Clever Mamma community appreciates these experiences and connects mums in business.
Clever Mamma is an online directory connecting Australian mums in business, allowing them to outsource and call on fellow talented business mums to enhance the services they themselves provide.
The specialist target for Clever Mamma is service-based business owners who can then connect to support and encourage the growth of one another’s business.
Founder Danielle Price started Clever Mamma because she noticed a lack of resources where savvy business mums could seek out others in similar situations, connect and network online.
