JB

My wife and I retired at the ripe old age of 28 to travel Australia. We completed the full lap of the Country in around 11 months, exploring Cape York, The Gulf and the Kimberley. Perhaps more Russel Coight than Malcom Douglass in terms of ability, we had many unusual adventures along the way which I will attempt to detail in my photos, blogs and reviews. So keep your eye on this space throughout the year and I hope you enjoy the read. Cheers… JB
