A friend of mine here in Darwin established a weblog called Club Troppo voted (2004 and 2005) the best collaborative blog in Australia. It has a comprehensive list of Australian and international blogs. |

PHOTOS |
I've built this website primarily to show off pictures and to capture text about various places I've visited so that friends both here in Australia and people I've met overseas can read about where I've been. I've also included some family stuff and bits and pieces about sport and hobbies I'm interested in. The letters coloured blue are hyperlinks.... just click on the word underlined and you'll be magically connected with another page on the web. |
When I research a destination I look for photos of the place and the best I've seen of India are here. Bjorn Strack (known to his fellow travellers as Pablo) was on one of the Intrepid tours with us and has a very good website showing the details (and other stuff too). |

Rugby has been described as a gentleman's game played by thugs and vice versa. I've had a passion for rugby for more than 40 years from when I started playing for Adelaide Uni. I still prop up the front row for veterans teams and tour as often as possible. Look here for some photo's. |
Down the mighty Mekong, lovely Laos, the glory of Ankgor Wat and food heaven in Vietnam. |
