As I am a bent over in a goat pen with an 11,000 volt cattle prod heading towards my rear end I wonder how I got here. Perhaps it was a mixture of my big mouth, my ego and peer pressure all mixed into one. To think I actually suggested this.

This photo was taken Monkey Beach while I was on an island tour from Koh Phi Phi, Thailand. This grumpy old monkey was looking rather sorry for himself so I thought I would try and cheer him up!
Platform 3 Hip Hop Festival – Sydney
On March - 25 - 2010
When I came across the words “free” and “hip hop festival” I was in. I went to the Platform 3 Hip Hop festival in Redfern, Sydney of all places to dig deep and figure out: What is Hip Hop?

The shot below was taken on New Year’s Eve whilst I was waiting in the queue to get into the Botanical Gardens. This unsuspecting lady became part of what I would like to think of as Banksy-esque photography.
Wilsons Promontory: Bunyip Tours Review
On March - 17 - 2010
Wilsons Promontory was described to me as a hidden gem. This conjures up an image of untapped sources of beauty not spoilt by scores of tourists. I thought I had better put this to the test.
Wilsons Promontory is the southernmost point of mainland Australia. A slight downside to this is that it is approximately three hours away from Melbourne and unfortunately there isn’t much to see along the way. So was it worth the drive? Read on.

After the success of the Top 10 Travel Essentials for your Gap Year Backpack I thought a more in depth guide to backpacks was needed.

1770 Air Adventures – Aerobatic Flight Review
On March - 9 - 2010
From the sleepy town of 1770 on the East Coast of Australia is a thrilling adventure to be had. 1770 is slow and I was feeling rather upbeat and wanted to do something a bit crazy. The tour driver was going through a list of things to do when the words “zero gravity” made my ears prick up.

This photo was taken in Nimbin, Australia. I like the message, particularly effective on broken glass.
Neighbours Tour & Neighbours Trivia Night Review: Bunyip Tours
On March - 5 - 2010
Cheddar, Mozzarella, Edam and the Neighbours Tour. Yes all types of cheese! It’s loveable, fun and let’s be honest; it’s Neighbours!
Although the Neighbours Night and Neighbours Tour are two separate events, I would suggest you do both for the full Neighbours experience.
Let’s start from the top shall we…
Fraser Island
On March - 3 - 2010
In the last six months I have seen and done many things. Fraser Island ranks incredibly high on my list of favourites. It doesn’t matter that I ate my own body weight in sand or lost my flip flops (why did you have to leave me?), Fraser Island is incredible!

Flight to Melbourne, $280. Neighbours Tour, $50. Balancing on my head holding the Ramsay St sign between my feet outside the Kennedy’s household, Priceless!
