FlysHome Among the Gum Trees 6 Days in the Outback, who knew it would be this fun. As I woke up at 5:30AM, I hoped getting up this early wasn't going to become a normal habit on this trip. I hurried to check out of my hostel and get over to the tour offices to check in. The tour company that I was to spend the next 6 days with was a highly recognizable one called Adventure Tours Australia. Over ... Read Full Entry

I'm an amateur photographer who has devoted the past year to become a full time professional photographer. For the past 8 years, I've worked in the DVD business as a Programmer and Producer. Hoping to escape the crazy, stressful life of the Hollywood industry, I decided I needed a change. So I quit my job, tied up my loose ends, and was off on some eye opening and memorable 2007 vacations. While traveling around, I continue to take as many photos as possible in hopes that they will someday fill my portfolio and supply me with future jobs. But while I travel, I also want to experience an... full info

Our Fire pit

Kevin and I's Fires, ready to be cooked on.

MMmmm Chicken Pots

Vegetables, Chicken, Potatoes and more.

Good morning Sunrise

Good Morning Sunrise, what a lovely start to our final day.

King's Canyon Hike

We hiked a wonderful area of Kings Canyon to see The Lost City, Garden of Eden, and some fossilized Jellyfish.

Kings Canyon Walls

Wonderful color all around the area.

Ripples in the rocks

These were wave ripples fossilized in the rocks millions of years ago.

Don't look up

Lots of overhangs, great looks down as well. Just don't trip and fall.

Garden of Eden

A Garden of Eden with trees and ponds awaited at the bottom of one of the rock canyon walls.

The Lost City

Tons of peaks and mounds covered the area above the Garden of Eden

Waterfall?

"Lucky to see water in this waterfall," says Horty.

Looking Down

They wanted to see how far it was down. So they slide close to the ledge and gasped.

Just don't slip

Hope the ledge holds.

Scorpian

Didn't find any of these in my sleeping bag, luckily.

Almost there

As we got close, I drew on our front window with a dry erase marker. So close I could almost taste it.

Alice Springs

We have arrived!!!

Sara and the Baby Roo

This was at the Kangaroo Sanctuary where they rescue injured Baby Kangaroos and nurse them back to health.

Now where?

Um, no Los Angeles. I'm offended.

The Grand Adventure
As always, your latest blog entry is fantastic. What an amazing adventure you are experiencing. The tour sounds perfect. Great sites, good friends and terrific memories. Your great pictures compliment a wonderful story and one certainly feels like they had a chance to experience the sunsets, sunrises, mountains and, ick, even the flies. I wish I could find the videos for this trip as I'm sure they are hilarious. Your stories are better than most travel books, as you provide great details, humor and nuances only related through experience. You should gather these up, package them and make a living at it. You've got talent. Keep having fun. Mike

Totally worth being homeless
I am so jealous of you! This looks like such an amazing time... and here I am the lame one, living it through your pictures... someday I will do something crazy like you and then probably end up homeless! But seeing the pictures, totally worth it! So I have company in June, and possibly in August, but July looks good or sometime in August. Fishing is better in July though. Bring a friend... I'd love to do some sea kayaking or a backpacking trip. Glad I bought some bear spray this year! Your blog is wonderful and even though I feel like i am there (and learning!) I still want to go :) Are you going to end up with a g.f. out of this? Bonnie
