Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

I’m killing a few hours as I wait for the Wellington ferry in Picton and figured I’d rent some internet time. I got a lot of help from everyone before I came to New Zealand. If anyone has suggestions for what to see/do in Fiji, I’m all ears. I’ll be arriving in Fiji on June …

Bendigo

I’m really glad I took the time to visit Mungo. It is really off the beaten path and is far from the “Wicked” camper van circuit. I’m also glad I paid for a guided tour. Had I gone out by myself, it could have been a potential disaster. It is 100 km of unpaved road …

Kakadu

I finally got my camper and I’m off to Kakadu National park today in the Norther Territory. I had to wait an extra day for my camper, but it was no big deal. In addition to Kakadu I’ll probably stop at Lichfield National Park on way to Western Australia. I have plenty of time to …

Many of the buildings here are underground, built by miners looking for opal. The town sort of looks like Tatooine from Star Wars. My bus arrived at 5am and I slept until 11am. …

Change of plans

I think I’m going to go to New Zealand next. I think that Fiji is turning out the be the real hub of the Pacific and most of the places I want to go to in the Pacific seem to fly in and out of Fiji. However, to get from Rarotonga to Fiji, I have …

I Conquer Global Warming

Just a quick update before I hit the road to Queenstown. I just had this photo taken about 30 min ago up on Fox Glacier, NZ. I had never been in a helicopter before. It was amazing. I got about 15 min of video footage too. Not having packed much in the way of cold …
