Any time you get an injury it always opens your eyes to the daily struggles involved with not having the use of certain limbs or being able to complete movements. We all know being in a wheelchair would be incredibly difficult but it’s not until you have to have a shower sitting down or try …
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
My home state. South Australia is incredibly underrated when it comes to adventures but I share with you a few local spots and trail runs to get you out and about in our great state.
It wasn’t how the year was supposed to end but here we are. When I saw the first doctor in NSW and had the X-ray, he said he was 99% sure the injury was just a bad sprain. Fast forward a couple of weeks and a few MRI and CT scans later. The ankle specialist …
The pandemic has made some places in the world off-limits for quite some time. Even as an Australian citizen, it was tough to get back home for a visit with friends and family. The restrictions for the best part of the pandemic had been that I would need to spend two weeks in a hotel …
Kangaroo Island is one of my favorite parts of South Australia. This magical island truly has it all. From pristine beaches to an abundance of wildlife to epic hiking and trail running you can really find some unique landscapes and natural attractions on Kangaroo Island. Therefore it’s no surprise that it’s a photographer’s heaven, which …
This week was a classic Adelaide lockdown week for me. I ticked all the boxes but don’t have any momentous occasions that jump to mind when I sit down to write this weekly wrap up come Sunday. That’s okay though because even when life feels like a highlight reel, it’s still the unglorious parts of …
I’m a big fan of people who deliver on their ideas. In this industry, ‘big ideas’ come and go, too often you hear the grand plan but there’s no execution or end product. Everyone is ‘working on something big’ or about to launch a huge project but then we never see the end product. It’s …
Adelaide has to be up there as one of the most underrated capital cities in Australia. Within twenty minutes of the city center, you can be up in the scenic Adelaide Hills, enjoying some spectacular trail runs while looking back down over the entirety of Adelaide all the way to the coast. Trail running in …
Sometimes it can feel like an uphill battle but this week was just about traveling uphill, there was no battle. In fact, it was an enjoyable cruise up many meters of incline throughout the week on both my bike and my legs. There was no struggle or battle this week, which is a welcome scenario …
A scene of pure bliss awaited us each morning during golden hour for sunrise from the balcony at Rogasch Cottage as we overlooked the vineyards amidst the fog. Kangaroos huddled together in the cold, nibbling at the grass while the occasional Kookaburra could be heard with its trademark laugh from the clusters of trees nearby. …
It happens every time I come back to Adelaide or stop traveling for a while. I put away the camera and I stop adventuring. I use the stability of a fixed base and no new travels to pour my energy into catching up on work, having an exercise routine, and some sense of normality to …
The wings have been clipped for many and many of us have had to return to our hometown, our base, our nest. A consistent theme has been surfacing in a number of conversations with people from many countries recently. People are realizing that they have never discovered the gems in their own backyard, take their …
Congratulations we’ve made it to the halfway point of the year. 2020 seems to be a bit more about survival than anything else. Some have struggled more than others through no fault of their own but the overall impact on most people’s finances, movements, jobs, and families has been a net-negative. Looking back on the …
