  • Now the answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind

    Only a short stay in Jindabyne and it is time to head home. We ate our hot breakfast and set off back to Sydney along the sparse grasslands of the Monaro, sadly following the abandoned train tracks from Cooma to Canberra. What a beautiful journey that would have been. Alex asked to visited the amazing…

  • Skitube

    Of course I was here to catch trains! Australia’s highest train line.

  • The answer is snow

    First go at skiing. Maybe not my thing. Anyway, it’s pretty up here.

  • The answer is snow

    There must come a time when people learning to ski suddenly discover the exhilaration of weaving their way at speed down the slope and find a new addiction in their lives. At least that’s what I suppose happens. After two hours of slipping and skidding, of trying to stay upright and not go too fast…

  • Southern chill

  • By the beach

    It’s nearing the time for the airport to sleep. Once I would dream of being inside that terminal, excited for the journey to begin. Now I would worry what the darkness hides. But earlier at the traveller’s time I still felt the desire. Either way it is for nothing. I’m not flying anywhere. Just spending…

  • Overlooking the Woronora

    We can’t always be travelling. There is work to do and, for kids, school to attend. Fortunately for us the bush is not far away.

  • From Cairns to Sydney

    The journey is almost over, just a bus ride home remains. It was a pleasant Jetstar A320 flight back from Cairns with a cheerful crew. We had $25 meal credit so instead of food we used it to buy a Jetstar 787 model. We all slept on the flight, which had some lovely views of…
