Sky diving over a lake in NZ If you are wondering why there is a picture on the way down of my bare feet over the lake....it is because I was wearing flip flops at the time and the guys told me that I couldn't jump with them as they would fall off (obviously). Despite the sun my feet were frozen by the time we landed.... read more

During my schooling, it was a privilege to travel around Australia, especially in its major cities ... read more
