Well, we’re three weeks into our four week stint here in Kowanyama, and I’m still sane (yes, I know that’s relative...). It’s been an interesting time for both of us and we’ve both seen some very interesting things. Lydia’s work has been extremely ... Read more >

I've been to some remote places in my time. The Mongolian plains, the Russian steppe, even the top of Cradle Mountain (although it was rather busy there...). But never before have I been to a place that is only accessible by air for 4 months of the year.... Read more >

Today I find myself in the kind of sleepy little town you only see in Hollywood films, either about incompetent comedic characters or bloodthirsty xenophobes. The difference is everyone is genuinely friendly and there is no slapstick cow or primed ... Read more >

We arrived back in Rocky at the end of last week after our massive 5 week trip down the east coast of Australia and round Tasmania (I know it's part of Oz, you don't need to remind me) by road. The last few days of the trip were relaxing and stressful ... Read more >

This evening finds us in the Lake St
Clair World Heritage National Park, camping a stone's throw from the

Today has been our longest driving day
so far, with us covering over 800 K's.

Day 4 of the roadtrip finds us in
Uralla on a farm, surrounded by chickens and flies. The last few days

With a month in Australia under my
