My adventures
My first real adventure, despite having bushwalked for many years, was a sea kayak trip in 2011 from Port Welshpool, island hopping across Bass Strait to finish at Little Musselroe Bay on Tasmania’s NE Coast.

The following year I travelled to East Greenland to join a paid expedition paddling sea kayaks 400+kms through some of the most incredible landscape on earth.

In 2013 I returned to East Greenland to undertake a solo expedition by sea kayak. A challenging but very satisfying trip.

A couple of years hiatus then I was invited to join an expedition to a destination known as Lake Fjord in East Greenland. This was an ambitious trip by sea kayak and ultimately on the 2nd August 2016 our small group of paddlers reached our destination. We were one of only 4 kayak groups that reached that location in the previous 84 years.

Just prior to leaving for the Lake Fjord expedition I received an email inviting me to join a sea kayak expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula. This involved leaving Ushuaia at the southern tip of South America on a 20 metre yacht and saling across the notorious Drake passage to the Antarctic Peninsula and subsequently paddling 300kms down the Peninsula coastline. Stunning, remote, cold and essentially, a very dangerous place to kayak but an adventure definitely worth doing!
A couple of long motorcycle trips followed. In 2022 I rode 10,300kms through Central and Eastern Australia followed by a longer trip the following year of 14,000kms over 35 days through Central and Western Australia.

Also in mid 2023 I rode a push bike 493kms on the Tasmania Trail (along with 9,517 metres of vertical ascent and descent). Tough but fun.

In 2024 I went on my most satisfying and spectacular trip. This was a solo expedition to travel to northern Mongolia in winter to walk for 7 days on frozen Lake Khovsgol. Just fabulous!
