It feels like only moments ago I was writing about my trip from Townsville to Brisbane (probably because it was…) Flying into Brissy I dropped my bags off at Lachys place and then jumped into the same cab and headed down to somewhere on the river… I had no idea which direction we were heading by the time the cabbie pulled over and said "this is it". I walked along the river back and found Lachy and some of his extended family having a BBQ on the grass. A...

After an extended sabbatical from my trip, due to Christmas and Carina's engagement party, I returned to Townsville with baited breath. I had heard through the grapevine over the holidays that Mullet had managed to break the driver's side window… I was not surprised to be honest, I have known mullet for a long time and he has a talent for breaking things… Probably why he fits in so well in the army.

Checking into a backpackers around 10pm I was tossing up whether I could be bothered to go downstairs to the b...

After 7 months on the road I decided to take a little holiday from my holidays. A french girl that I met in Exmouth was nice enough to offer me a place to stay at the BnB she was running while the owners were away. So instead of flying back to Cairns I flew down to Perth and hired a car for the week. The first day was spent in Perth catching up with friends and just relaxing. on The saturday I went to the Swan Valley with Courtey (Max - an old school friend), hi...
