When I was a kid my family moved to Leigh Creek for three years, a small country town about 6 hours north of Adelaide. It was an isolated community where everyone knew everyone, a place where a 5 year old (me) rode his bike home from school all by himself and stayed home alone to […]

As we boarded the ferry from Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam we made a point of sitting outside to enable an easy escape should the worst occur. Just 7 days later the worst did occur on a ferry leaving Zanzibar and 200 lives were lost. Tragedies like this are a good reminder of our own […]
