Since March of this year, the list of things we miss not being able to do because of Covid-19 is very often led by overseas travel. For me it started out with thoughts about the destinations I wouldn’t be seeing in 2020. It was also about the missed adventures, the exploration and discovery of new…

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…

There’s some bias to be declared. I’m a Narrogin boy. I haven’t lived there since 1988 but it’s still where I call home and my kids love getting back there every year to see where I went to school, got into fights, played sport (sometimes well, sometimes not) and the houses I lived in. For this…

Radio Melayu has a new studio and I recently had a great opportunity to have a look around and also have a chat about what I’ve been up to. We had a great discussion about staycations in Perth at the new Ritz-Carlton Perth, travelling through the Wheatbelt and catching yabbies and walking through woolsheds. We…

Wadjemup (Rottnest) has just taken a couple of Red Bulls and is revved up for a…

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HhYe64zC_Q_JH8k4Kl8eo6PdBLqfiOnC/view?ts=5df04623 Wonderful discussion on the ABC Breakfast Show with some very funny talkback callers confessing to all sorts of things that have just ended up in their bags. Do we leave our values and compliance with rules at home when we check in to a hotel? As the hotel card is pushed down…

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…

If the link above works it may not take you straight to my discussion but if you scroll down through the posts then my latest chat was on October 18. DJ Wan and I talked…
