Sharon and I suck at planning…sadly. Thankfully, we have an amazing family who gifted us tickets to a movie at the Sydney’s open air cinema. We arrived at 6pm, after a slow stroll through the Botanic Gardens, and enjoyed a few drinks as we watched the sun set behind the Sydney Opera House and Harbour …
There’s no doubt about it, diving comes with a few inherent risks. And while it’s safety record is great, and it’s standards are high, your safety is ultimately your own responsibility. And if you can extend that responsibility to also include others, amazing! With that in mind, I signed up to do a Rescue Diver …
My wife and I are getting into the nasty habit of taking sneaky Fridays off, and then using them to do a little mountain biking, followed by pizza and beer at our new favourite venue, the Buena. This time we headed south, to the Royal National Park where we opted for a more relaxed, scenic …
After months in quasi-lockdown, getting used to the new normal imposed on us by Covid-19, we finally managed to get away for 5 days of bliss at Lake Macquarie.

On route home from a chilly weekend of camping in the rain, we decided to stop off at the Scarborough Hotel to grab a quick bite to eat. The hotel was ideally located to break up the journey, roughly halfway between Mollymook and Sydney, and promised both amazing views, as well as a place for the …

Please take this post with a pinch of salt as I don’t currently own a drone. In fact I’ve never owned a drone. That said, I am an avid photographer and videographer, and am in the middle of acquiring my very first drone. I’m also a research ninja and won’t buy anything without all the facts – this …
I just completed my third business trip to India in 3 months. It’s been a remarkable experience travelling to India so frequently. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to travel the country as I’ve been stuck in the office, but it’s been great none the less. I’ve gotten to experience some of Pune, a lot of …
