One Man's desire to change, one step at a time
I love parkrun the volunteer-led weekly 5Km timed run in a number of locations around the world (over 330 parkruns in Australia alone) so much so that I m going to reach a couple of milestones soon my 50th Parkrun and my 25th volunteer session. I ve planned it out for the rest of [ ]
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park Dove Lake Another cracking morning greeted us as we departed our accommodation headed for Dove Lake, part of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. If you re there early enough, you can drive (cars only, no caravans, campervans or camper-trailers are permitted). Even though we arrive just after 9am, [ ]
Miena to Mole Creek via Deloraine Under another blue sky and warming day, we set off from Miena for the small town of Mole Creek, at the foothills of a number of hills/mountains as part of the Great Western Tiers. Up until now the road surface has been good, patchy and gravelly in a few [ ]
We woke up to another day of beautiful sunshine and blue skies, with the temperature destined to hit the 30 s, we hit the road early to visit the Waddamana Power Station Museum, part of the Tasmanian hydro-electric system. Penstock Lagoon A quick stop at the Penstock Lagoon, the last body of water before it traversed [ ]
A short day action-wise as we were travelling from Hobart up the middle of the state to Miena quite close to the geographic centre of the state. Richmond First stop was the historic town of Richmond, about 20 mins North/North-East of Hobart. Richmond was a convict settlement and had important ties to Hobart and [ ]

One of the biggest draw cards for us is Port Arthur, the site of one of Australia s largest penal colonies. There s so much to see and take in that your ticket lasts 2 days! An easy 90 minute drive south-east from Hobart, you pass through a number small towns, through forest, bush and farmland. There [ ]
We ve taken our annual holiday to Tasmania, somewhere I d wanted to get to for many years. Eva was here a number of years ago but it s the only state I hadn t visited during my travels in the past. Also, a number of my motorcycling buddies had been to Tassie before, so it was time to [ ]
I listened to the Jason Silva interview today whilst commuting, and a couple of things jumped out at me that I d not thought of before how powerful the musical score is from a movie. I d come home determined to watch Inception tonight (one of Jason Silva s favourite movies), however could not find it on [ ]
I m still listening to Tom Ferris podcasts during my ride to work and truly love the time as it s just me, Tim and his guest in my helmet for 30 mins at a time. This week I learned a lot about Seth Godin, someone my #coffeemornings friends have all followed, believed, evangelised or mentioned in [ ]
