I Do Kakadu Day 2

This will have to be quick. I found an internet connection, but I only have a few minutes. So far, Kakadu has been pretty amazing. It is part African savanna, part American Southwest indian ruins. Since I’ve been here I’ve probably shot 6gb of photos and I’m going on a river boat tour in about …

Kiwi Update

I’m in Whangerei, NZ right now at a McDonalds/Internet cafe. I drove from Routura to Whangerei today via the Tongarori National Park (aka Mount Doom if you saw the Lord of the Rings Movies). I’ll be in Wellington tommorow and hopefully take the ferry to the south island. Absolutely beautiful landscape. Amazing. You will love …

This will have to be quick as I’m on a very short timer. I have yet to find a restaurant or coffee house that gives out free Wifi in Australia. I only have 15 minutes on this. Today was very cold. I drove up to Mount Wellington and Mount Field where there was snow and …

Episode 2 – The Tropic of Capricorn

As I was driving through the outback of Australia, I drove past this sign. I couldn’t let this opportunity pass, so I pulled over the van and did an impromptu podcast. If you ever wondered why the tropics are the tropics, now you’ll know. [display_podcast]

In about three hours I’ll be picking up my campervan which will be my home/vehicle for the next two weeks. My first stop will be Rotorua, which …

Bye Bye Perth

What the hell have I’ve been up to the last week you might be asking? There has been steady stream of photos but nothing in the form of text, or details of my adventures. I got back from Margaret River and spent the last several days working on editing some of the video I took. …

Thou Art Peter

This is going to have to be quick. I’m on an internet terminal that takes coins. I’m in Port Campbell, Victoria right now on the Great Ocean Road. The big attraction here are the Twelve Apostels, which are erosion formation on the coast. I have photos I wanted to get up, but that isn’t going …
