Holidaying down South has always helped clear my head. It could be for a week or just a weekend, but it’s usually exactly what I need. Now the South Coast needs our help. It’s on the front pages of newspapers worldwide. Fires tore through taking lives, homes and what was for most businesses, their busiest … Continue reading Supporting the South Coast
It’s crazy to think that it’s faster to get to another country than between some of the states within Australia. It’s crazy but it’s true. You don’t even get TVs on the plane going to New Zealand. By the time you’ve gone up, you’re preparing for landing. Landing in the country of jaw-dropping scenery, jandals … Continue reading A quickie in Queenstown

Turquoise water washing up against sparkling beaches with every twist and turn, there’s no better excuse to keep taking breathers from riding, even if … Continue reading Riding ’round Rottnest
You know when you find that place, that place where time stops and preferably phone reception does too. The sort of place where you’re happy to lose track of time and where you left your shoes.

I am just going to get it out of the way: I went to Amsterdam and didn’t get high.
