Imagine yourself on an island, standing in warm crystal clear water, your feet sinking into the almost perfect white sand, the warm sun beating down on you from cloudless skies, and almost no one else around. That is what you can find on Rottnest Island for three seasons of the year. Ricey Beach on [...]
Today's travel photo is of the summit of Mount Cordeaux in Main Range National Park, Australia. Main Range National Park makes up a spectacular part of the Great Dividing Range in Southeast Queensland and is perfect for some day hikes if you're in Brisbane or surrounding areas. I took this photo while hiking past Mount [...]
With May quickly approaching I am getting very excited about my upcoming trip to Europe. It will be a fairly quick trip and I will be visiting the UK before heading to Paris for a week. I was faced with the decision of how to get from London to Paris. Train or Plane? There wasn't [...]

Today's travel photo is of an old house and water tank at sunset in the small town of Yunta in outback South Australia. We stopped here for the night during the long drive from Perth to Brisbane last year, camping out next to the railway line in the town's recreation area which allows over night [...]
In all of my travels around the world over the years, the majority of my time has been spent in Asia. In fact, I've probably spent the good part of a year of my life over there. In Southeast Asia, so far I have visited five countries - well, six including Singapore - and I [...]

These bridges are quite common in rural parts of Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia, and are usually built as a temporary river or creek crossing. Crossing this bridge, I was surprised out how strong it was and I felt quite [...]
