Day Five

Woke at 6am after a really bad nights sleep, I’m not sure why but sometimes I find it really hard to switch off even if I have had a very long day and once the snoring from the other tent started that was it, wide awake!

Around an hour down the Stuart Highway near the tiny settlement of Mataranka...

As always I'm looking for great travel gadgets and for me the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook is a great item for taking on the road. The days are long gone since you had to have the hassle of ...

A few years back I use to love the idea of taking a video camera with me on my travels, catching those memorable moments with great colour and sound to playback to my family and friends on my return.

In reality though it turned out to be a time consuming pain in the bottom. A perfect filming moment would appear, so, I took off my day sack, took out the camera bag, got out the camera, switched i...
