An hour and a half to two hours drive from Melbourne you’ll find Phillip Island, which honestly is a really beautiful spot and if you have an interest in wildlife then you’ll love a few days here. It’s great for anyone really, but especially for families as there are a number of activities you can …
Ever since I visited Russia earlier this year, and to be more precise Moscow, I wanted to do a post on ‘Stalin’s Seven Sisters’. It’s the sort of thing that appeals to me I guess – something to see, to hunt out in a city and say you saw them all. What are Stalin’s Seven …
Border town. (well, actually still a wee bit from the border) Dry. Dusty. Hot. The last town in Burkina Faso before I moved on to Mali over ten years ago now. I don’t remember much, perhaps because there wasn’t much to remember, but I do remember that the streets were wide, and I didn’t see …
See, I’m find new ways to rumble. And today I want to talk about the differences in taking your photos and footage on film versus digital. I met a guy in France who is a war correspondent/photographer. And even today he insists on only shoot with film. For many travelers in 2017, they may never …
Kuranda is a small town in the mountains not far from Cairns, in Queensland. I was there last year in July. It's common to take the train up to Kuranda and then take a gondola ride down. You go through and over some really beautiful rain forest. The town itself is actually just a tourist …
The idea of exploring an abandoned town, I must admit, is kinda of exciting. Here in Australia abandoned towns are often cordoned off – certainly abandoned buildings in Melbourne are barricaded and people are forbidden from entering, but in Japan there are apparently a few places you can visit. I was inspired to write this …
Happy Sunday to you all. Is that a thing? ‘Happy Sunday’? Well, it can be now! Shanghai… staying in North Asia for this week’s city of choice, is a mega-tropolis of which you can find quite of a few of these days in China. However, you may not find one quite as ‘modern’ and shiny …
Yes, I’m branching out in my rumbles from cities to, you know, other things. And today I’m looking at accommodation, and yes – I know there are more options out there for places to stay. There’s bnbs, hostels, camping to name a few, but today I am just specifically talking abou Air Bnb and the …

Wham bam thankyou Mam! Tokyo is a city with everything. It’s an incredible combination of skyscrapers, neon lights, parks and shrines, salary men and cosplayers in the Harajuku area. It has Maid Cafes, a Robot Restaurant (still to visit for me!), two Disney theme parks, a tower, a Skytree, and incredible metro system, brilliant museums, …
Actually, this is a tale of two cities rather than one versus the other. But it seemed to fit along the lines of a City Rumble in my head. Islamabad is the somewhat modern capital of Pakistan, and so close they basically kiss each other is the much older city of Rawalpindi. Islamabad was built …
