Well folks here I am on Isla Isabella, the largest island in the Galapagos. Another long expedition from Quito to Isabella - starting at 430am and ending around 12 hours later. Firstly up at four for a pickup at four thirty to Quito Airport. At the airport we all had an extra baggage search as …
Hope this post finds you well. Here inquito I've just escaped hail and a small storm, which seems to be the norm in the mid-afternoons in Quito. Hot in the mornings, cools down around 1pm and then in comes the rain! Quito's historic district, the 'Old Town' - where I'm fortunate enough to be staying …

Yes! Here I am in the capital of Ecuador, Quito. I made it safely after five flights and managed to finally put my head to pillow after waking up at 430am Sunday morning after around 40 hours. I had to decide not to go out and celebrate the simply astonishing win of the premiership by …
Well. Here it is - my last post before I jet off to South America on Sunday morning. I'm back with another photographic journey (as far as my camera skills will let me) to the land-locked West African country of Niger. A mostly desert country, Niger is probably the most remote country I've ever visited. …
Yes it’s THAT close now! Pretty exciting for sure. Actually it’s proven to be a very surreal time in Australia as I count down to Sunday when I fly out to Quito. But the strangest thing has happened. You may recall my posts of last year and I think the year before about going to …
Hello, and welcome to another 'Through My Lens'. Today I feature a series of shots from Sri Lanka, a place I loved visiting and wish I had way more time there. I really only visited Kandy and surrounds (including a day trip to the amazing Sigiriya) as well as a bit of time in Colombo …
There are many museums for many reasons around the world from the torture museums in Bratislava and Sigisoara to the Hat Museum in Kumasi, Ghana (sadly one I haven’t got to yet). Then there are the occasional sport museum, and Melbourne has its very own, at the largest and most famous sporting ground in the …
Howdy all. This week I continue on my accommodation reviews looking at China. I stayed in three different cities/towns whenst I was there – Yangshuo, Shanghai and Xi’an. All in all I was actually really happy with all my budget digs in China. I managed to get a single room for myself all under 200 …
Hello! It's time for another 'Through My Lens' where I select some of my photos from a particular place I visited and turn them into a post! Today I am reminiscing about my time in Iran, back in 2004. It's hard to believe that it's twelve years ago now! I crossed the border from Pakistan …
Hi folks, heading back to Cairns for today's post. Apart from the football, the thing I was most looking forward to in the Top End was taking the railway to Kuranda. So we organised it a couple of days before we went at the hotel lobby where the tour company got us tickets taking the …
