A year and a half later, I got to connect with her through Facebook. I saw her from afar, walking briskly, standing out of the crowd with her short blonde hair and tall stature. She was walking with her boyfriend. He was sitting outside the mall, wearing dark sunglasses. It was one of those days where I was walking around for about 3 hours and couldn’t find a good face to photograph. I got only one portrait that day… but it was worth it.

Offroad Australia | Photoessay I was lucky enough to be able to spend a year travelling in Australia as the first part of my long and slow world adventure. My goals for the trip were simple – I wanted to get way off the beaten track, and explore the kind of Australia that I had seen in movies like “Crocodile Dundee” and “Australia” (sure, the latter may not be the greatest movie of all time, but watch it with the sound off and I guarantee you’ll want to visit Western Australia by the end!). In order to get off the beaten track under my own steam, I needed a vehicle suitable for the challenge, which in Australia meant getting hold of a Toyota Land Cruiser. These things are practically indestructible, and perfect for the kind an offroad Australia adventure. I wanted to see the places that only a four wheel drive can take you! Places so muddy, sandy or river filled that your average vehicle would balk at the challenge. It’s not all beaches of course. Ok, back to the beaches. Gregory National Park.
