Life in society

Well its been around 10 months since returning from the depths of Victoria Island and expedition life in general so I thought i'd give a brief rundown with what i've been up to and what my plans are for the future. As soon as Chris and I stepped back on Aussie soil, i pretty much went straight back into training and fundraising because I had only 7 months before I was due to row across the Indian

Indian Ocean Rowing Race

So who's been following the Indian Ocean Rowing Race this year? Well I know I have, since I can't be in it, I may as well watch obsessively as those little dots make their way across my computer screen. If your like me, you'll start out going "OK cool look at them out there in the Indian Ocean", then the next day you'll check again to see whats happened since you last looked, then a few hours

Crazy Video

I just got forwarded this video in my email and my goodness.... all I can say is that this guy really is a reminder of how far you can push the boundaries with just about anything. All you need is perseverance, some big (chest) nuts, imagination and the drive to pull it all together. Check it out.Read More....

Indian Ocean Rowing Race Start

Well i may not have been able to enter in this years rowing race, but the least I could do was be in Geraldton for the start (after all I did already have a plane ticket there).I had mixed feelings arriving in Geraldton, split between sadness and regret that I was not a part of the race, and joy in seeing the other competitors in all their glory after so much banter and emails sent over the last

Teva Shoes

I'd just like to thank Paul and Steve from True Alliance who have generously supplied me with some fancy water shoes and sandals by Teva. These will be perfect for those moments we know all too well where you get out of your kayak or other such water paddling device only to find that your surrounded by rocks with oysters, reef, or maybe just mud that smells like a port-a-loo! I'm looking forward

Buff® Headware

I'd just like to welcome my newest sponsor to the team - Buff® Headware! These funky little devices are described as multifunctional headware. The best thing about them (for me) is that you can use the one item for several things, which means you don't need to bring several different head coverings - just the one. No matter what crazy expedition I find myself on, I'll be using these puppies as

Victoria Island Doco

I met up with Julien Harvey earlier this week to discuss options for the Victoria Island documentary which Chris and I intend to finish later this year (hopefully earlier). Julien lives for adventure and film - the perfect sort of bloke to help steer this documentary in the right direction. Julien, Chris and I will be working together from now on to make the World's greatest adventure

Welcome to the new website!

So after my bid to row across the Indian Ocean with team mate Ryan Storey in the Woodvale Challenge Indian Ocean Rowing Race 2009 came to an abrupt end only a couple of months before the start of the race, I have found myself with a spare year! This of course has been filled up very quickly and I am now enrolled back at the University of NSW (I get my degree at the end of the year woo!), have got
