Diving Beqa Lagoon (Pronounced Benga) was absolutely fantastic. I have never seen so many sharks before on a single dive. The sharks just swim gracefully around you as if you are not even there munching and crunching on their food. This video is of our safety stop coming up from 30m after seeing the bigger […]

Hampden Suspension Bridge, Kangaroo Valley, NSW

I’m not a bridge enthusiast or anything but I really love this bridge, it was crazy to see how much the wooden decking moved when trucks passed over it.

Sydney Dust Storm – Darling Harbour

Wow. This photo was taken at 0630 this morning whilst walking to the gym. At first I thought it was some unusual fog. It was only after leaving the gym and seeing people in dust masks and all the cars and streets in red dust that I realised it wasn’t. I went to have a […]
