So, if any of you have been following my activities recently you may have noticed that nothing really big has happened for a while. This has been largely a result of job hunting and a lack of motivation, but this is getting ready to change. Next week we will be beginning a drive out to Alice Springs where I will begin a new job and an exciting new life of […]
I spent this weekend down in Canberra town catching up with friends. To celebrate the weather gods brought out some imposing clouds, strong cold winds and sunshine. Here are my three favourite shots.
Today I went out to explore the mountain bike trails at Daisy Hill Conservation Park for the first time. It is 5 days since it last rained so I thought that there would be a bit of mud lying around but that the tracks would generally be dry enough to ride. How wrong I was…. It turns out that the tracks at Daisy Hill hold water like nowhere else, despite […]
This post follows on from my previous posts about Tasmania and it may be worth reading those posts first, alternatively enjoy! Waking up at Friendly beaches on the east coast of Tasmania is a lovely experience. Before packing up we made an exciting breakfast of museli and wandered down to the beaches.

Graeme took some amazing photos with his handy cam. In he future he will be producing a DVD with his special ABC voice-overs, but for the moment here are his best five photos.
So last week I spent the week in Alice Spring and did a trip out to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. I did a tour with Emu Run and I have to admit it was pretty awesome so I would recommend it if you are heading out there. I might write up a full description later, but here are some photographic highlights.
It was a wet and windy weekend and all through the house chilly drafts filled every corner. The alarm stirred two sleepy figures who opened their eyes, mumbled a few words about how terrible it was and rolled over to go back to sleep. Ten minutes later one figure sat bolt upright and declared that it was time to go riding! Our plans for the weekend we’re fairly simple. We […]
So after 6 weeks in Brisbane it seems like it is time for my second general update on what is going on and why I still seem to have no free time, even though I am unemployed. If you have suggestions on what I should be doing let me know, otherwise I’ll just keep enjoying the life of a leisure! Volunteer Work I thought that since I have to give […]

He hopes to make it back to Melbourne (the long way) by December. For info on his ride or to see his amazing photos go to http://thodo.nl
