Well what started out as a quick trip to Sydney to take a few photos for a friend turned out to be an adventurous day. Ready to test out my new camera backpack also, I loaded all my camera gear and a few other things, to get a feel for the bag for when I'm away. Arrived in Sydney a little bit after lunchtime and walked around the Rocks for a few minutes trying to meet up with our friends Jimmy and Emma. Once we finally met up we headed up the stairs towards the Harbour Bridge, and slowly strolled along [View Full Entry]

It was a long weekend, had just gotten a new camera, so what better reason to drive out to the Japanese Gardens in Cowra. It was only a 2 hour drive from home, so off me and Ruby headed at 8am.

It seems a bit to expensive to travel around for the amount of time I will be there. Maybe on another trip I could spend longer there, traveling around, working, and stuff like that. But this time I am skipping it, I will still go to [View Full Entry]

Well I'm sitting here in my room reading some travel blogs, glancing through brochures and surfing tourism websites. I'm not thinking of leaving until late September 2010, but I thought I would try my hand at a bit of blogging, and record the whole journey, from preparation of my trip around the world, right until I land back in the country. I don't know what inspired my sudden desire to travel, as those that know me know that I was never one that wanted to travel. Maybe it was the fact that the photographer in me wanted to go out and [View Full Entry]
