Australia’s Blue Mountains, which cover more than 10,000 square kilometres of mostly forested landscape, is home to more than 400 different species. Here’s a small snapshot of some of the hundreds of walking tracks that criss-cross the Greater Blue Mountains, ranging from easy to moderate and hard.
Houseboating with Friends
When I heard about Lakeway Houseboats on the St. John River in New Brunswick, I immediately started dreaming and scheming. When Canadian Geographic Travel magazine agreed to take the story based on the St. John’s recent designation as a Canadian Heritage River and two sets of friends agreed to come along.
Pangong Tso: A Pristine Lake in the Indian Himalayas
At an altitude of 14,270 feet Pangong Tso is one of the world’s highest altitude lakes. The long lake winds its way through spectacular mountains and while doing so, its water changes colors, according to the time and mood of the sky ahead, shifting between shades of dazzling blue to emerald green.
Hit the Road in Victoria
Covering 227, 600 square kilometres, Victoria is roughly the size of Great Britain and within its compact boundaries are a huge variety of landscapes and associated experiences.
War and Peace (with apologies to Leo Tolstoy)
Balance. That’s the word that sprang to mind while crossing the demilitarised zone (DMZ), the heavily fortified buffer either side of the infamous 38th parallel, the pivotal line between war and peace shared by North and South Korea for more than 50 years.
UNL Students Form Bonds with Achuar Children
“Welcome to Ecuador,” I announced to 11 people as they walked through the door of the customs area in the Quito airport. For several years, I have been asked if I would ever lead a trip abroad. This idea has held limited appeal; I like the freedom to move.
Cape Cod Bucket List
It’s funny what goes through a photographer’s mind when he approaches his final photo location of the day; what lens to choose, what camera settings to pick, what composition to start with, will the weather hold up, will this be the day I waited so long for, will I become a feast for the mosquitoes.
Vienna: My ramblings through an inspirational city
I’ve visited Vienna four times and each time the experience gets better. A city rich in culture it is the venue for 1,500 classical music events a year. And what can I say about its over 100 museums, live theatres and opera houses other then fantastic.
The Magic of the Magdalens-Havre-sur-Mer
Lose yourself on an exotic island where the sound of the surf lulls you to sleep, ocean breezes cleanse the senses and worries and cares seem a million miles away.
Budapest: I Keep Coming Back
I love Budapest; it’s drawn me back for a third visit, this time with my wife and son. While it’s one of the great cities of central Europe there is something different about it, possibly the Hungarian language that isn’t related to any of Europe’s three main language groups, Germanic, Latin or Slavic which has resulted in culture that sets it apart.
