It doesn’t get more Australian than the country, so when Cam suggested getting a group together to head down the Riverland for Australia Day it wasn’t hard to twist my arm. But why go just for the day? Why not make it 4 days? Good question Cam, mark me down for 4 days.

When my girlfriend lived in Victor Harbor she always wanted to go to the Compass Cup, but fate stood in the way. This year nothing would stand in our way, not the Tour Down Under which we had to divert around, not the stifling heat of an Australian summer’s day and not the fact that […]

There’s a window of about 2 weeks each year in Adelaide where cyclists don’t have to be ashamed of their shaved legs and lycra shorts, where they ride 2 abreast on the roads with impunity and where it’s almost impossible to get a seat outside one of Adelaide’s many cafes which become inundated with riders […]

Right, let’s do this thing, day 2 of my 5 posts in 5 days and I’m bang on track. On my 2nd day in KL I spent half a day pottering round the world’s largest undercover bird sanctuary which was pretty different to anything I’d done before. Where I live in Adelaide backs onto Linear […]

boreo wedding photo, kapalai wedding, malaysia

When I left the salubrious Kapalai resort in Borneo last year my thoughts were along the lines of that place was incredible, a truly once in a lifetime experience, little did I know that just four months later I’d be back to shoot a wedding!

What a lackluster month of blogging!! One post for the whole of December, just when I was getting some momentum and some regular visitors to the site.
