March 16th, I left Brisbane with a group of friends for Sapporo in northern Japan. It was me, Hamish, Sarah, Scotty and Joanna. As we climbed in altitude through a clear sky, we flew over a large area of the great barrier reef and eventually the phillipines, what a sight. EVA air out of Taiwon ended up being a pleasure to fly with, and I was happy to have unlimited bloody mary's and watch the much acclaimed film 'walk the line' about johnny cash. ..... "and it burns burns burns, the ring of fire" ..... our night in taiwon ended up [View Full Entry]

hey guys.... I've finally settled down here, in the nice little town of airlie beach. I've just found a place to live here, with a local aussie, after storing my bags at the prosail office the last week and rotating through dorm rooms while on shore. Being temporarily homeless can be funny, if you can laugh at yourself.... I do it daily. Anyways, I've just got my job here confirmed, after a 3 day training trip. My boss, Dave a good lad, has thrown me on to HAMMER, maxi-yacht, sailing machine, a bloody weapon on the water. It takes 19 passangers [View Full Entry]

Here are some of the pics... cheers. [View Full Entry]

It was great staying with my Uncle Tom and his family for a couple weeks in Chiriqui province. I met Alan here and boarded Wallaby Creek to help take it through the Panama Canal with the others.... the beginning of the Pacific voyage. It seems like a very long time ago. [View Full Entry]

The Temples of Angkor would have to be one of the coolest places I've explored. It takes days to see it all, but it rarely dissapoints. In the 12th century, at the height of the Khmer Empire, the population of Angkor (the capital) was around 1 million, while London, England was still only 40 thousand. How things have changed. Cambodia is quite an amazing place, considering its unimaginable circumstances just 25 years ago. [View Full Entry]
