While on Cat Ba Island in Vietnam, we took a boat tour to explore Halong Bay and the far less crowded Han La Bay. From the dock on Cat Ba Island, we were almost immediately travelling through the beautiful limestone karst islands of Han La Bay, where there is a large floating fishing village. Make-shift [...]
Is it weird that I actually like visiting cemeteries when I travel? Anyway, in Uralla, Australia, I did just that. We went to the old cemetery in town to see the grave of Captain Thunderbolt, an infamous bush ranger from the area, and what we found were a lot of very old gravestones from the [...]
The Old Quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam is a hive of activity at any time of the day, but I find that it particularly comes alive at night. As I wandered down Hang Buom to go to the night market, I came across these ladies selling balloons on the street. I think it made for an [...]
I'm not going to say where I took this photo, but this was certainly a very special moment while on safari in Africa. We had been watching this black rhino off in the distance for some time and had then come across a pride of lions hiding in the grass further along. The lions were [...]
I've been in Vietnam for a week now and am really liking the country so far. I took this photo in Hanoi when exploring the Dong Xuan Night Market in the Old Quarter. The night market runs along the street from the Dong Xuan Market all of the way to the busy roundabout at Hoan [...]

When I visited Lake Manyara in the Northern Tanzania, I had the amazing opportunity of visiting a local Masai village. The experience was wonderful as I learned about their way of life. This photo is of one of their traditional mud and straw huts with some of the locals standing next to it. These people [...]
Right on the border with South Australia, the tiny town of Eucla sits in the middle of nowhere right in the South-Eastern corner of Western Australia. The town basically came into existence due to it's important location on the old telegraph line that ran from Albany to Adelaide in the late 1800's. The telegraph line [...]
While wandering through the village of Mto wa Mbu at Lake Manyara, Tanzania, we came across a traditional wood carver's workshop where their beautiful carvings were up for sale. This photo is of some wooden bowls that I couldn't take my eyes off of. I rarely buy souvenirs when I travel so I had to [...]
Right near the top of the Spencer Gulf in South Australia, the land is quite barren, with the city of Whyalla receiving around 300 days of sunshine every year. The coastline in the area is very beautiful, and we camped for the night out on Point Lowly with this view from our camping spot. It [...]
