We all know that certain things are contagious. Yawn and you'll see everyone in the room do likewise before long. Sneeze with the flu in an elevator and you'll halve your office's workforce for the week. SDbjijberf saajsdbkj......Sorry, that was a battle ... Read more >

The grass always seems greener; once
you've eaten it. Since arriving in Melbourne, I look back on the
adventure with more sadness than relief. A week ago I was nearly
incapacitated with regret for not having a normal holiday ... Read more >

Having a rest day is never a bad thing, especially when it's time spent screwing your tormentor. That has to be the sauciest start to one of my blogs ever, but unfortunately I can't say that I got laid by Lady Luck. Sure, she's fucked me over quite ... Read more >

Eden is a lovely town, but not quite in
the same league as its biblical counterpart. Quaint little shops, a
long history stretching back to early settlement days and 360 degree
views. That last fact was due to its location ... Read more >

It was Christmas morning and Santa had wisely given my tent a wide berth. I remembered how exciting it was as a kid to wake up at 330am and poke through the presents before the parents allowed you to scream them awake. I also remembered how much pain ... Read more >

It's days like these I don't question my sanity; I fear for it. I question my dedication when even the air I breath conspires against me. I wonder how much more I would be enjoying myself if I was laying on a beach somewhere in Asia, far removed from ... Read more >

Outside my tent I could hear the waves breaking so softly they sounded more like paper plates dropping, than fine China. I could see the sun shining through the clouds frequently enough to convince me Lady Luck was having a sleep in. Fearing she'd wake ... Read more >

I am pretty sure I was woken at 1:45am
by the sound of rain hitting my roof; hard. Hence, $38 had not
transformed my tent into the Millennium Falcon. I had to rise early
for once to get the first ferry across to Yamba, ... Read more >

The best thing to do after a riding
ordeal like I had just experienced, is to not go anywhere near a bike
for awhile. It hurt in too many places just thinking about it. My
bike was left on the roof of the hotel and did ... Read more >

I've
heard of time-warps, sometimes believing I had passed through one
when I see my moustache in some reflective surface. I think the 70's
are alive and well until reality makes a rare appearance in my mind.
I've heard of worm holes as well, those ... Read more >

You are truly blessed when you hope fervently enough for
something to see it come to fruition. Third world countries highlight this
blessing Westerners have when our hopes are far less significant than the
everyday survival that is most of the Vietnamese's ... Read more >

When
it came time to leave Dalat, it was obvious it wasn't going to be an
easy, or dry affair. Numerous roads were blocked due to floods,
numerous destinations weren't worth visiting for the same reason and
the bus we chose to leave on started the ... Read more >

My
stay in Hoi An certainly didn't start on the right foot because it
didn't start on my feet. The friendly hotel receptionist at Hue had
organised his 'friend' to pick us up and escort us to his $10 hotel
that had a pool. We were ... Read more >

In
the past, when someone said to me, “Let's go to Nimbin?”, it
usually meant our stocks were low. With Uma slowly becoming a
travelling pharmacy, I didn't think it likely, or necessary, that we
would be acquiring more drugs. With karst formations ... Read more >

My solo adventure started ominously enough with my 630am pick up for the ferry showing up at 725am. The receptionist was more worried than I was and called the company three times to ensure I hadn't been forgotten. I must still be on Broome time as ... Read more >

Returning to Melbourne is always a scary
prospect for me. Cougars don't stalk me in the front yard and the wardrobe is
boogey man free the last time I checked. Grey skies that look like they've been
finger painted by an obsessive compulsive ... Read more >

4,500 kms is a long way to travel and I knew it was not going to be easy. Given that someone else flew the plane for me most of the way, the biggest strain was on my wallet. The 620 km driving stint I did was my most challenging task, but I still managed ... Read more >

If Broome has a short coming, it's that it's not a road trip. It's a bit too stationary for that. It's not actually a lot of things, like a toaster, philosophical thesis or belly button lint to list but a few. Most things obey the laws of physics and ... Read more >

Our first destination was the Bungle Bungle's. Knowing nothing of them prior and being given no clue by their name, we arrived with few expectations. Good thing too as it was night time when we finally made it. I was driving by then and ploughing through ... Read more >

I woke up before Lady Luck to find my tongue stuck in quicksand, my mind stuck in neutral and my pillow stuck to my face with drool. With BYO booze, my wallet had been a superfluous accompaniment to the night but had somehow managed to get lost in its ... Read more >
