Hi Everyone, I’ve decided that blogs frustrate me because you can never find a page you want when you want it. For that reason I have created a new page called my Adventure Directory, where I intend to keep links to all the cool adventures friends and I have had over the years. I may even include some posts from my favourite blogs, like twobreakfasts, Tandem Travellers and Northern Walker. […]
Having failed to set out on my planned 8 cycle tour through the Victorian Alps last week I ispent three days over New Years in the Namadgi National Park, which is just south of Canberra. The three day ride presented some of the hardest riding I’ve ever done, so people out there, perhaps don’t follow my lead on this ride. Day 1: Pain 65km – 40km of dirt – so […]
When it rains up here everything changes. The colour of the rocks richer as the dust is washed away, the vegetation sprouts so that sorry looking shrubs suddenly become healthy drab green trees, and the light quality changes so much that you suddenly notice whole mountain ranges you’ve never realised were there before. Last night I decided to go out and enjoy the light misting rain that seems to have […]
Just a few days ago my home town of Alice Springs was graced with a visit by the Sun and Moon at exactly the same time. Unfortunately, like all siblings, they couldn’t agree who was more important. After days of arguments the Moon got one up on the Sun and blocked out its light early on Wednesday morning. I’d heard that the fight as coming to a head, so a spontaneous […]
Just near Broome is Gantheaume Point which is home to one of my favourite rock platforms around Australia. As it is a month or so since I was there I thought I would just put up a gallery of my favourite shots.
The other day Chantal and Graeme from my trip to Uluru sent me a link to the video with images and scenes shot by Graeme during our three day trip. The result can be found at The Red Centre-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPt_GT0rnvI Enjoy.
Today’s selection of photos from Western Australia include some excellent (if I do say so myself) images from the Violet Valley area of the east Kimberley region. The area includes significant ranges of mountains and abounds with water, deepish valleys and beautiful spinifex and grass covered expanses which are impossible not to love.
Late last night I was lying in my room trying to go to sleep when the theme song of Fraggle Rock suddenly entered my mind. Now I don’t know if you remember Fraggle Rock, but it is probably my favourite of all the Muppet television series. I am not sure if this is because of the catchy theme song and the message of enjoying life; the engineering marvels creates by […]
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.
Mikey my fellow photographer.
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?
