I’m looking forward to writing up my stories from what I think is fair enough to describe as the family holiday of a lifetime but maybe we can better it … one day. London – plus Biggin Hill for me to fly a Spitfire – then Paris, Rome and down to Puglia to stay at…

Astronaut Michael Collin’s once wrote that he wondered what John McGee, author of every aviators favourite poem, High Flight, would have written if he’d been able to go into space. I wonder if my own words, far less grander than High Flight, would improve with more height. I don’t think so. Gliding above the flat,…

For the final program for 2021, Hidden Treasures on ABC Perth Saturday Breakfast went further than we’ve ever been before and brought in the biggest guest (sorry Ben Carlish) we’ve ever had … Santa Claus! Santa left the studio very quickly when he heard the reindeers on the roof getting restless. In fact, he left…

Is there anything better than meeting people? Even better than a sunset, even better than climbing a mountain. Meeting people fuels the soul and sparks the life in us. On a media trip to Malaysia last year I met one of India’s rising stars of journalism, Yvonne Jacob. Yvonne is the Features Editor for Just…

On the ABC Perth Radio Breakfast Show we recently discussed the continued popularity of dark tourism. It doesn’t have to be morbid but it does have to involve death in wars, disasters, murders, terrorism or assassinations. The darker side of history has meat on the bone and the gristle as well. We try to put ourselves…

On Perth’s best talkback radio station, 6PR, I recently discussed with my fine friend and colleague Chrissy Morrissy some options for luxury abroad; the magnificent Apurva Kempinski in Bali and the distinguished Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur. A bit closer to home I spoke about day trips through the Avon Valley, from bakeries to canola crops, from…

What a rollicking chat about travel toilets, kids travel bucket lists and we even found time to talk about some day trip options from Perth. Kids travel bucket lists is a wonderful topic. When I was a kid I always wanted to visit India because of Rudyard Kiplings story, Rikki Tikki Tavi, the…

Have A Go News newspaper recently published my list of the Top Ten No Tech Travel Accessories that you should have on every trip. They’re also all lightweight and easy to store. Aquatabs are as close as I get to panic prep packing but because they are easy to tuck in your toiletries bag with other medications they’re…

My story about Tom’s experience with Cathay Pacific was recently published by Airline Ratings. Enjoy reading all about Tom’s experience with Cathay Pacific here. With inflight entertainment, a good selection of food options and plenty of attention from the staff, Tom’s experience meant a great flight experience for me.
