G'day I’m from Darwin, Northern Territory of Australia.
This channel is my videos of my hiking, paddling and cycling journeys starting in Australia then in 2025 heading overseas plus some 4WD trips like the Kimberley's and Canning Stock Route. I like to video my journeys to remind me of where, how and what I've been doing as more of a VLOG. I hope you enjoy the scenery, images, trails and tribulations. Because the trips are getting longer there is a gap in time between videos so click on notifications to let you know when the next one has been made.

Переглядів 22621 день тому
In October of 2024 I attempted my first ever bikepacking race: The Karnu Rally in South Australia..

I had rode the Mawson Trail from North to South and this race was from south to north taking in some parts of the Mawson Trail, so familiarity of the course allowed me to be prepared for the di...
