Welcome to the Walls
Walking through the valley of the Walls of Jerusalem, a rugged and remote wilderness within Tasmania’s Central Plateau, is nothing short of jaw dropping. Recently I spent 24 hours losing myself (thankfully, not literally) in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park and while I wish I had stayed longer the forecast of bad weather cut…

Happy 1 Year Work Anniversary
This time last year I had finished up guiding my first ever hike. The walk, with Life’s An Adventure, was the Light to Light Walk on the Sapphire Coast, about six hours south of Sydney. I was nervous, and excited all at once. Anxious because I was about to accept the responsibility and safety for…

The Next Adventure
One of greatest experiences of a career in the outdoors, is when I am able to work with kids and teenagers. Outdoor education work is not for everyone. It’s challenging and there are definitely moments of great struggle. The hours are long, the pay is not as rewarding as you would expect for the responsibility…

“The smallest steps can lead to your greatest accomplishments.” Today was a big day for me. I completed my first 10km fun run in a personal best time. Given I’d never taken part in a mass participation event I wasn’t exactly sure what time I should be happy with. Sub 60 minutes was the goal,…

Cathedral Rocks @ Sunrise
The last time I stopped by Cathedral Rocks, which is located about 3km to the north of Kiama, the tides weren’t in my favour. This camping trip I made sure to do my research, and the results were incredible. Luckily I was able to squeeze into a cave overlooking the incredible rock formation, I think…

Cathedral Rocks
Situated at the southern end of Jones Beach and about 3km north of the beautiful Kiama, Cathedral Rocks is a photographers dream – particularly at sunrise. Even those without the fancy camera (like me) are able to snap a pretty shot of this distinctive rock formation which has been an attraction for sightseers since 1890. Unfortunately, I…
