Tuesday, December 16, 2008 Hi Everyone,It’s been a while since we updated our blog but things have been busy busy busy. Since we moved in we have been working hard on the house getting mainly the outside up to scratch. It’s been back breaking work but a lot of...

Friday, November 7, 2008 It’s been a while but I make no excuses as we have been trying simply to get settled in. Our wild adventures have come to a halt and the reality of life dawns on us again. Well, I guess to some extent the adventure is still on but not the...

Thursday, August 21, 2008 We have now done more than 100 BASE jumps. Doesn’t sound like much but when you compare that to the 59 jumps Lynda had done in the last 3.5 years before arriving in Europe you get the idea of how hard it is to do those numbers living in...

Monday, July 28, 2008 They say practise makes perfect but until you do lots of it, you don’t really grasp that statement. Like Gary Player once said, “The more I practice the luckier I get”. Well, we certainly are feeling the effects of that. At one point I thought...

Friday, July 18, 2008 So far we have done 50 BASE jumps in one month. That’s a whole lot of play time. I think our experience level has just shot up 20 fold. Lynda is flying her tiny wingsuit better and further than some people are flying their latest and greatest...

Thursday, July 10, 2008 One might see postcards of Switzerland or movies but unless you have been here I doubt you really have a good idea of just how beautiful this place is. Every time I sit out on the chalet balcony and look out into the valley of 72 waterfalls I...

Monday, June 30, 2008 It’s been over 33 hours now since we arrived at the airport in Sydney to start our trip to the Fjords in Norway and we still have a further 13 or so hours to go on the train we are sitting in as I type this and that only gets us to Stavanger....

Monday, June 9, 2008 And there we have it, three months have passed, can you believe it and we are just about to embark on our next adventure. We have been talking about doing a BASE tour in Norway for so long now that it doesn’t feel real that we are about to leave...

Saturday, June 7, 2008 Ok, for the good news….. we have bought a piece of land and signed on a house to be built! Shew, it’s been a rollercoaster ride week this week. Emotions have been high and low but we have managed to pull thru it all at the end. The search...

Monday, June 2, 2008 It’s been all work and no play for the last couple of days since we come from Byron Bay. We headed further North towards Brisbane and dropped in on the odd suburb or two before the Gold Coast. There are some places out there that are affordable...

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Here we sit in our comfy little tent in the famous Byron Bay. While I’m trying desperately to write a very intellectual blog about the shuwa so like where is the mountain dude Byron Bay, I’m over hearing a young loud couple, in the tent next to...

Sunday, May 18, 2008 We haven’t left Sydney yet. Still hanging around checking things out. We have decided to attend the Helicopter BASE Boogie in Norway which gives us a chance to BASE jump lots without too much physical exertion. I think that’s a good thing since we...

Sunday, May 11, 2008 Sydney, Sydney I guess could be called the heart of OZ but I think I’d get hung at noon if I told an aussie that! I guess we could call it the financial hub but that could also be debated to death. The city is vibrant and full of anything and...

Saturday, May 3, 2008 After visiting the 12 Apostles along the very windy and hilly Great Ocean Road, I started suffering from my childhood car sickness – the more we drove the worse I felt. So instead of continuing our drive along the Great Ocean Road and spending...

Tuesday, April 29, 2008 So Adelaide……. Hmmm… not too sure what to say here and the reason we have not blogged for quite some time. Let me set the scene: We arrived in Adelaide on a Saturday early afternoon having booked the camp site ahead of time....

Monday, April 21, 2008 Albany is a small town and did not particularly appeal to us so this was going to be a short stop. I must admit we didn’t do much research into the town itself and anyway I had this nudging calling to move on to Esperance, the final town before...

Saturday, April 12, 2008 Our next leg after Perth has taken us down to Margaret River which is the wine producing area of Western Australia. They boost that it’s one of the best wine producing region in Australia although it only produces a small percentage of around...

Monday, April 7, 2008 So we head further North and we quickly lose sight of any form of civilized link which would commonly be stuff like power lines and telephone lines. There is just vast emptiness but pretty landscape. It’s fairly similar to African bushveld. One...

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 Hi Guys & Girls, So, here we are. Three days into our OZ trip and no sign of the wizard. Maybe that’s because we are still stuck on the west end and we have a whole country to look for him/her. It’s been absolutely fantastic so far and...
