I just got back from one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in one of the most remote parts of the world. As part of my Australian History and Culture class, we ventured up to the Kimberley region of Western Ausralia for five days to live in an aboriginal community and learn about their (possibly 70,000???) year old culture. Think abo...

I was slightly dismayed after my five day camping trip when I got in the shower for the first time in a week, and my beautifully honed tan washed off in seconds. But I've had a few days by the sea to work on it again. Broome is a lovely seaside town. Much nicer than Cleethorpes. We got into Broome on Saturday night - just in time to watch the fu...

On the road out of Broome there is a big right hander which must be signposted ' the rest of Australia ' or something like that, because to continue straight on would mean going back towards Darwin. At this sweeping right turn onto Highway One, I ease the T bar shifter do...
