The view was tantalizing. We were finally in a shuttle boat gliding gently up the creek between two sheer walls of stone country that rose either side to touch the sky, framing the distant escarpment and our destination Gungkurdul (Twin Falls). Peering down this narrow chasm was like looking into a lost world – ancient […]
Breathing in the space… The expansive space of the Australian Outback… The last time I felt my chest breathing in the wonderful wide open expansiveness of the Australian outback, this deeply, was when working on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert.

Experience the Power of Kata Tjuta in the Valley of the Winds Have you ever stood in a landscape, so immense that you felt your chest well up as your eyes feasted on what lay before you, behind you and encompassed you? If not – (or you want to experience it again) – Go to Uluru […]

As I approached the island jetty, the sun was rising over Stradbroke, the second largest sand island in the world.
