    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.

  • 6PR with Burgo – Going ashore on islands of the world

    My love of islands came before my love of travelling. Making tea stained treasure maps after reading Treasure Island, imagining tropical beaches as I listened to Harry Belafonte sing, Island in the Sun.
