While still in Germany I bought a small key chain camera on ebay (shipped from Hong Kong), mainly to strap it to my motorcycle and record some memories for the time in Oz. Yesterday I taped it to my bicycle helmet and went for a little ride through Cairns CBD. After all, writing about the […]

But as I’m driving 1.5t of petrol powered steel thousands of kilometres through the country I can’t really complain about seeing some tankers. I left the camp site around half […]

Apparently the guy did a lot of good things for the people during his reign and he keeps donating money to charitable causes. […]
