Folks, any time spent in Bangladesh as a foreigner is an adventure and a half of full cream dairy milk! So fasten your helmet strap and get on the back of a bike with me as I tour this city checking out the history via the Liberation War Museum. I meet more friendly locals of …
G’day all. Today I wrap up my Saudi series with a dip in the Red Sea that divides Egypt from Saudi Arabia. Snorkelling and diving is a popular activity for those visiting Egypt’s Red Sea Coast, but it is perfectly possible to do the activity from the other side, as I did. The company I …

Howdy all. This post will appear on your feeds after I am back (touchwood) from my three week break to South-East Asia, a brief trip to Philippines, Singapore (ever so briefly) and Langkawi, Malaysia.

For nearly 150 years Pentridge Prison in Coburg, Melbourne was Australia's most feared and infamous prisons. The brutal treatment of prisoners in H Division was like something out of a nightmare. The prison closed down in 1997 but the buildings made out of blue-stone bricks still, for the most part, still stand today. But today …
G’day all. Hope today’s post finds you well. Last week I took you to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh as my introduction to the country. From there it was a long day bus to Jeddah, perhaps the most open (in the past at least) of Saudi Arabia’s cities. Sitting in a great location on …
Hey folks! Well, today it's another episode of 'Melbourne Revealed' - actually episode 40 if you can believe that! Today it's an episode I wanted to film a few years ago.
