As we drove up to Falls Creek high up in the Victorian Alps of Australia, I was amazing at just how beautiful the landscape was. I took this photo in March this year when the temperatures were still quite warm, but now this landscape would be completely transformed, and the view would be of snow [...]
Cars and motorbikes zoomed by me as I tried to navigate my way through a new town in the late afternoon. I left the street of my guesthouse and wandered along the footpath of a busier street, suddenly surrounded by tailor shops with the odd stall selling random items on the footpath. After hastily crossing [...]
Today's travel photo is of a fresh fruit stall at Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. Located in the centre of this busy city, Ben Thanh Market offers some great shopping, and I just love wandering around markets.
The small city of Hue in central Vietnam is the cultural and academic heart of the country. Situated almost in the very centre of Vietnam, Hue was the capital city of the country during the rule of the Nguyen Dynasty which lasted from 1802 until 1945.

Vietnam is famous for its crazy traffic. I've been to cities in Asia such as Bangkok where the traffic jams can get ridiculous, but as I travelled through the cities in Vietnam, I realised that it is far worse.

I think eating the local food is an important part of the travel experience, so whenever I travel to a new country, I like to try as many local dishes as I can. In Kampot, Cambodia, I tried a couple of new dishes, and this photo is of a plate of beef lok lak, which [...]
When I travelled to Hue, the old capital of Vietnam, the first thing I did was visit the old Imperial Citadel of the Nguyen Dynasty, which ruled the country between 1802 and 1945. Although the citadel was badly damaged during the Vietnam War, it is still very impressive as it is slowly being restored to [...]
High up on the Central Highlands of Vietnam, the city of Dalat provided us with a much needed break from the heat and humidity of the lowland areas; in fact, the temperature change was so different that we needed a jacket at night. This photo is of Truong Cong Dinh Street which is the main [...]
The only problem with travelling overseas is that we have to leave our dog, Mindy, behind; and after nearly two months in Asia, we are missing her a lot. Today's photo is of Mindy watching the sunset at Inskip Point in Queensland, Australia, not long before we left for our road trip across Australia. She [...]
Cat Ba Island is the largest island in Vietnam’s famous Halong Bay. This rugged island is mostly national park, but Cat Ba Town is a great place to base yourself to explore the island, as well as taking a cruise to the more remote parts of Halong Bay as well as the less crowded and [...]
