So here are some more photos from my recent Kimberley Trip. The first photo below is another one of my lovely desks during the week out bush. This one got a tad warm as the temperature approached 40 degrees, but the vents made it tolerable. The view from my desk helped as well…
Simpsons Gap from a distance.

A Black Footed Wallaby through the trees at Simpsons Gap.
This wallaby decided to give us an example of how it climbs.
The Pinnacle at Simpsons Gap.

The waterhole at Simpsons Gap still has water in it 8 months after the last decent rain.
The colour of the pinnacle at Simpsons Gap is amazing as the sunsets. It is impossible to do the view justice.
The view of the West MacDonnell Ranges through the trees.
What is there to say?
Chilling at Simpson Gap car park having a drink before dinner.
Tonight I decided it would be a good idea to ride out to Simpsons Gap after work and heat up dinner while watching the sunrise. I often have ideas like this but rarely follow through due to my annoying sense of something. Luckily the warm sunshine, mild breeze and beautiful sky convinced me that it would be worth the effort of packing up a stove and some leftover lasagna on […]
After two weeks there are clouds. I genuinely hadn’t seen any since I arrived so it was a surprise to see a sky full of white this morning when I woke up. Also shown, the hills at the end of the street.
Ever arrived in a new town and wondered what the best way to get to know the local mountain biking scene? On Sunday I tried my fourth method and it worked out brilliantly. The method, signing up for an enduro race as part of a team, and letting someone else put you in the team! So after a late start I rocked up at the Mt Gillen 6hr Enduro race […]
On Sunday we braved the early morning cold and got up at 6am for an adventure out to North Stradbroke Island, the largest of the many islands which form the barrier between Moreton Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The crisp morning air demanded jumpers to be worn with our shorts so it was hard to raise the motivation to throw our bikes in the car, rummage through the cupboards for […]
Enoggera Dam sits 10km west of the Brisbane CBD and is just near the entrance of D’Aguilar National Park. The dam was constructed a long time ago (relatively) so the lake has had time to develop into an ecosystem and plant and bird life are abundant.
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.
When I rode out of Brisbane with Thomas there was little on my mind other than how noisy his chain was. Discussions worked out that he has been riding with the same chain on his rholoff hub for something like 17,000km from Melbourne, around Tasmania up to Sydney, around both islands of New Zealand then all the way from Sydney to Brisbane. After that day his chain still lasted him […]
