The stories behind the images…
Travel tales and adventures out & about with Jack

Down the dirt road…
I have fond memories of this road, it’s the only road to a salt lake I’m particularly fond of, and my most recent experience on it was racing down it in the night to escape a bushfire that had swung around to head in our direction. I was following another vehicle that was camped where I had intended to camp too.

A different pace…
Stepping out of the little rustic caravan the morning air smells fresh and green, a synergy of peppermint trees and flowers, the scent of spring… the ground covered with a carpet of green grass sprinkled with tiny white daisies and clumps of freesias…
...an idyllic oasis down in the South West of Western Australia.

What if…
Jack and I have been a team for a while now, coming up eight years in November. We’ve done a lot of kilometres together and whenever I’ve driven us into a sticky or sink-y or hairy situation, Jack has driven us right back out with no hassle.
Of course Im convinced my encouragement has helped a lot…
“C’mon buddy you’ve got this, I swear I won’t do it again…”


The long way…
Taking a few days off giving me a long weekend to escape the city, it was with glee that Jack and I hit the road.
The grasses were green everywhere, the lakes at least half full, and the world looked a little less dusty than usual.

Just like that…
I'm thinking about maybe going to see the eclipse next week, its just up the road. Seems silly not to take advantage of it being so close...
...you'll kick yourself if you don't!
