When we first decided to travel around Australia in a camper van, one of the places that I wanted to see the most was the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Running 243km from Torquay to Warrnambool on the south coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most popular tourist attractions, and for very [...]
Today is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, a public holiday to mark the anniversary of the terrible and futile Gallipoli Landing during the First World War, where over 11,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers died, all basically for nothing. The day was created in Australia to honor the 60,000 soldiers who died during [...]
After struggling up the tough climb to Stella Point to watch the sunrise on Mount Kilimanjaro, it was time to start heading to the very summit of the mountain at Uhuru Peak. By this point I was standing at well over 5700 metres above sea level, and the air was so thin that I simply [...]
We left Golden Beach on the south coast of Victoria, Australia, with the intention of only having a short drive to our next camping spot on the Morwell River. The drive took us to the small town of Boolarra where we took the Morwell River Road along the forested valley. When we reached the first [...]
One of the best things to do in Siena is to climb to the top of the Panorama del Facciatone, an old facade of an unfinished extension of the beautiful cathedral nearby. A very tight spiral staircase leads to the top where you get magnificent views out across Siena. In this photo you can see [...]
Although many of the ruins in Ayutthaya, Thailand are quiet crumbled, there are some that have survived and have been beautifully preserved and restored. This photo is of one of the few Buddha statues that somehow survived in one piece at the temple of Wat Mahathat. Behind it you can see one of the main [...]
Ah Tuscany....It is the place that so many people dream of visiting, and I was no different. I dreamt of green rolling hills covered in vineyards and olive groves, of centuries old medieval villages and farm houses, and of drinking wine and eating delicious Italian food. In my dreams, it was an almost magical place [...]
The Great Ocean Road in Victoria is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations, and rightly so. It travels along some of the most breathtaking coastline that I have ever seen. We took two days to drive the road so that we could make lots of stops along the way. We camped for the night [...]
It had basically been nonstop driving since we left Queensland. We had seen some amazing places driving through New South Wales and into Victoria, basically stopping at a different place every night, but it was now starting to wear us down. We needed to just stay put somewhere for a couple of days to recuperate, [...]
Our first day in Victoria, Australia, was eventful. Travelling from the border to Glenrowan, where Ned Kelly made his last stand, we travelled to Greta to pay our respects at the cemetery where he is buried, before making our way to the base of Mount Buffalo where we camped at Nug Nug Reserve. Today would [...]
