Had a brief period between finishing work in Port Augusta and having to be at Whyalla Airport to fly home, so I popped over to see Deryck and Nigel at their cafe in Quorn, called Scruffy Fella. Their place is awesome. It's become the lifeblood of the main street in the town! Great to see you guys!

The Harbour City Bears Underbear Party was a blast. Fantastic venue, great music, plenty of great people, and visuals by Sean Simon that ran all night and were truly mesmerising. I didn't take a lot of photos, but here's what I did take!

Again, the power of location based apps as you travel for work is that you discover your friends are camping in the area and you stop in to say hello! After seeing Luis and David at Hume Weir, I now head on to Wangaratta.

Silo Art is a big thing in rural Australia. These are everywhere. This one is in Karoonda, South Australia. Heading home to Sydney.

Back in Sydney. Achieving very little other than my morning run and coffee. Loving it.

I looked and couldn't find any such reference. Mind gremlin didn't win, I see!

One of the nice things about Kalgoorlie is that I got to see my nephew Bernie and to meet Kira during an evening at one of the main pubs in town!

The Umpherston Sinkhole in Mount Gambier, South Australia. A limestone cave that collapsed and was turned into a private garden in 1886 and is now a public space you can walk into!

Blue Lake, Mount Gambier, South Australia. I managed to get out of work before sundown and check it out. It's a crater lake and so pretty!

I was back in Sydney for just under 36 hours and got to Harbour City Bears on a Sunday afternoon. Back with my people again, before heading to South Australia and Western Australia over the next couple of weeks!

I get to enjoy one morning of daylight saving in Sydney on the Harbour just long enough to head to Rockhampton tonight and lose it again!

Mario and I now have a habit of going to hang out at various places around the Harbour. This time, Huntley's Point.

Good morning Sydney! All my teaching courses are done for the year, and now I get to enjoy a week at home and jog to the Harbour every day for a coffee. It's the little things that I have missed, being on the road so much.

After 10 days working at the hospital in Derby, Western Australia, it's time to head back to Sydney for a night at home. Here I am at the Jetty a couple of days ago. Sunsets here are spectacular, and this photo doesn't do it justice.

I come all the way to the other side of the country and I run into friends from a few suburbs away! Dale and Michael are working their way around the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Here we are at the Derby Jetty on a Sunday afternoon.

On the Great Northern Highway between Broome and Derby, Western Australia. These are termite mounds, and there are thousands of them all around me. Incredible. Also, hello, Western Australia! Here for the next 11 days.

Back in South Australia for a week for work. Stopping in on the drive to Berri to catch up with Robin, whom I haven't seen since the 2010s!
