While on safari in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, I quickly noticed that the safari drivers often stop to share information and wildlife sightings. It was because of this that we learnt that there were two lions mating nearby. When we got to the site, there were already heaps of other safari vehicles there watching the [...]
As we turned off the main freeway to head to the town of Glenrowan in the North of Victoria, Australia, I wasn't really sure what I would find. This town is the site of Australia's most famous bushranger battle - Ned Kelly's Last Stand. I remember learning all about Ned Kelly in school, and although [...]
It's been a while since I've put up a photo from my beloved Italy, so today I thought that I would share this photo of the Colosseum in Rome. I took this photo in the afternoon after exploring the inside of this world famous landmark on our way back to our hotel. As you can [...]
When the Great Alpine Road of Victoria was blocked off on the way to Mt Hotham, we instead had to take the road up through Falls Creek to get to the coast. It turned out to be an absolutely beautiful drive up the forested slopes to the alpine village of Falls Creek, high up on [...]
We had only really gone through Canberra for one reason – To go to the Vietnamese Embassy to get our visas for our future trip. I was glad that we had made the choice to go here as the Australian War Memorial alone was a good enough reason to visit the city. From Canberra, we [...]
On our first day in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, we had to stop at the head quarters to sort out our National Park passes. These beautiful Superb Starlings were all over the place here, and I couldn't get over how colourful they are. It took quite a few goes to get a decent photo as [...]
I looked up at the names covering the dark grey metal wall. Thousands and thousands of them covered the length of each of the long walls of the huge hall. Almost as many plastic red poppies were bunched next to them where people had found the name of a long dead relative. Somewhere among the [...]
After a long drive from Canberra through the beautiful snowy mountains of New South Wales, we camped for the night right on the Murray River near Towong. In this photo, I am standing on the New South Wales side of the river, while Towong is in Victoria on the other side. The Murray River is [...]
Since we had unexpectedly headed north again to Glen Davis, we had to head south towards Bathurst instead of west like we had planned. To make the most of it, we decided to take the back road through Sofala, a historic town from the old gold rush days. Gold was aplenty around Bathurst during the [...]
There wasn't a lot happening around Wisemans Ferry, and all we really got from our camping spot was a whole lot of mosquito bites, so after a quick breakfast and a shower, we packed up and continued on our journey. Our path today wouldn't really take us very far south, but instead on more of a westward direction as [...]
