Here are some of my best friends out here in the Tarkine rainforest.

Apparently I don’t take very good photos (lol) so here are some poor examples from my time here in banjo country. I have mountains of content that will now only be used on here. So I hope you enjoy.

Firstly I must apologise for not posting for so long. Life out here in the wilderness has been full-on, a virtual roller coaster with some amazing highs and the accompanying lows. Now that I am employed here and pride myself on being professional when placed in a position of responsibility I cannot disclose some of the lows. I can however work on finding ways to remedy them whilst remembering that you can’t please all the people all the time. Some things are a real eye opener and I constantly think of that quote: “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more”.  The people here are often a different breed and it’s not like working in an office on the Sunshine Coast that’s for sure! But I get along well with most here and enjoy the companionship and comversation of most.

My new relationship is going well and is also a wild ride on a roller coaster. I am not used to the passion we share whether it is arguing, making up, loving, exploring or looking after each other. We try to make good use of our time off by fishing, panning, exploring and hiking. At home in our cosy cabin we share the household duties easily and enjoy music and movies by the fire. And then there’s that passion!

The Tarkine wilderness is an incredible place and I have been blessed with being able to explore it quite a bit already. I have a ton of photos and videos that I need to upload (no easy task with snail speed net). I have a ridden a bit but not as much as I would like and will try to fix that. There is so much to photograph here so I have a great collection of shots like scenery, fungii, wildlife etc. I post on the Facebook page regularly still so if you would like to see more please check it out: Adventure Riding on Facebook .

I need to get ready for a shift in reception / restaurant for a few hours but then I will try to come back and add some photos.
