  • TV show The Couch: Dark Tourism can be respectful and a rite of passage

    I loved my recent opportunity to appear on The Couch, a television lifestyle program broadcast across Australia and filmed here in WA. Fred, Steve and I looked into the world of dark tourism. While you might be thinking of shaky footage of people sneaking into Chernobyl it is so much more. Battlefields like Gallipoli, the…

  • The West Australian newspaper: Falling with a smile on my face

    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…

  • 6PR with Burgo: We’re heading down south … with a blanket

    In the 1990’s my brother sang in The Neptunes and one of their best songs was, ‘Down South’. It was about surfing, heading down south once you’ve finished the exams and having a good time before having to come back to Perth. Just saying ‘down south’ is enough.
