Parts of rural France have some really old bits of industry lying around.

Perigueux: what have the Romans ever done for us?
If the title of this blog post makes little sense to you, then you should pause your whole life for a couple of hours and go watch Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Done that? Good. Perigueux is a town with a remarkably hard to spell name in the heart of France’s Dordogne. It is the […]
Tips for buying and selling a travellers vehicle in New Zealand
If you’re heading to New Zealand for any length of time longer than a month, buying a vehicle is likely to be one of the most cost effective ways to see the country. For example, renting a decent camper van for around a month is likely to cost you something in the region of $3000 […]

This post is not going to be heavily featuring one of those things. Today I’m going to be […]
In photos: Kalbarri coastline and national park
Australia has a lot of coastline – nearly 26,000km of the stuff, according to the CIA world fact book. Driving that distance in a straight line would take you half way around the world. Quite a lot of this coastline is spectacular. Today I’m highlighting the coastline around Kalbarri, which is about half way down […]
Three stupendously awesome burgers
I would make a terrible food blogger. Here’s a post about three phenomenal burgers, and I have no pictures of any of them to share with you. This was probably a testament to the incredible nature of these beasts – there was simply no time for pause and reflection. It was just eat or.. well. […]
