  • ABC Victoria Statewide & ABC Darwin

    As a regular on ABC Victoria Statewide, I make sure my travel discussions with Prue include a Victorian flavour, not just favouring my Western Australian travel destinations. We also talk about travel news and issues, including the tragic deaths of Australians skiing in Japan. On ABC Darwin with Lara, we have discussed the New York…

  • 6PR Perth: Regional shows make great roadtrips

    As we find ourselves feeling the warmth of Spring and looking up at bright blue skies, it’s time to think of getting out for a regional roadtrip. I love going to Narrogin each year for the Narrogin Agricultural Show, full of exhibitions and stalls, animals and of course sideshow alley. Through October and November is…

  • ABC Victoria: Park benches on our travels

    With Prue on ABC Victoria Statewide we had a wonderful discussion about park benches with lots of listeners calling in to tell us why they love park benches on our travels.

  • ABC Victoria: Travel compensation schemes

    On ABC Victoria Statewide, Prue asked me about the Federal Government’s plans to introduce a compensation scheme for travellers. Unlike schemes in Europe, it’s not likely to be financial. It will start out offering food, accommodation and support to refund or reschedule flights. It will be a bit like making it onto the air bridge…

  • As published in Just Urbane, victory rolls in a Spitfire will make you weep and whoop

    Every time I write about my aviation experiences I am drawn very emotionally to the poem, High Flight, by a young Canadian RAF Spitfire pilot, John Magee. The lines he wrote fill your heart and soul when you’re in a jet, glider, skydive, hot air balloon and particularly in a Spitfire, roaring through the blue…

  • As published in Just Urbane, the E&O is almost too much luxury, almost.

    Just Urbane is one of my favourite magazines to work with. My experience with E&O Penang is just what they’re looking in a luxury experience with a good measure of heritage thrown in as well. I hope you enjoy reading my story about E&O Penang.

  • 6PR with Burgo: The view from the top

    With Burgo on 6PR we discussed the attraction of the view from the top. I think as travellers we like the view from the top because it makes us feel like we’ve conquered where we are. We look out at the view around us and can say, “I’m here!” Some of our favourite overseas views…
