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…
Last week I spent the week in the Kimberleys for work. For those of you who don’t know the Kimberleys are the far north western corner of Australia right up where the crocodiles are. I didn’t see any salt water crocs, but I have seen a few freshwater crocodiles this week. Unfortunately photos are hard to get out of a car travelling at 110km/h so the I don’t have proof. […]
Simpsons Gap from a distance.

This wallaby decided to give us an example of how it climbs.

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.

What is there to say?

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 […]
So at the moment I am in Broome for work and I thought I would take a few photos of the area while I am here.
The last fortnight has been a busy busy time as I try to settle into my new city and work out just how much I can fit into life. If the past two weeks are any indication the simple answer is lots because I just keep finding more and more things to do. To illustrate just how much there is to do in Alice Springs I thought I would list […]
For once someone else was taking the photos on Sunday so I have two photos of me riding my mountain bike to put up, they are both very unexciting but it is evidence that I do get out on my bike occasionally. The second one proves that I am unfit and feel my legs even on a recovery ride.
As i ride around Alice Springs on my mountain bike I often come up against a common problem. I don’t know where the mountain bike trails go, or what they are called. Being a nerd, and lazy, I felt I had to do something about it so I have started assembling my GPS traces into a map overlaid on Google Earth which shows all the trails I have ridden on […]
Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of going for a ride after work with the local mountain bike club. The group meets at 5 and then heads out for a 1hr loop with fast, intermediate and slow groups splitting off to do an appropriate ride. The ride didn’t start particularly well as I was running late due to problems assembling my back tyre after my puncture on the weekend (which […]
