From the archives comes this story about the second time I jumped out of a perfectly good aeroplane. Two jumps is enough for me but it’s an experience I’d recommend. It was more than adrenaline and excitement, it was being that high and falling fast but knowing it was ok. Enjoy my story in the…

Talking Travel on 6PR with Burgo (audio at the end) spends a fair share of time overseas but came home this week to visit the things we’ve made that we can travel to.

With Prue on ABC Victoria Statewide we discussed the strategy required for that short interval break during a theatre show. Do you run for the bar or the bathroom? Do you try both? We explored London’s West End, New York’s Broadway, The Loop in Chicago and even closer to home in Perth with opportunities to…

On 6PR on a recent summers weekend on the airwaves, we took to the skies to discover how getting into the air can inspire your travel or be an exciting part of it. It was also an opportunity to reflect on my air moments. I used to love accompanying dad out to the Narrogin airstrip…

From KL to Penang is easy to do. A quick flight and you’re there. But only a little bit longer and a lot more fun is the journey by train. Enjoy reading my published story below. And remember that if you can’t get a newspaper in your hands, my published stories with Have a Go…
