This blog is not dead…

…just resting.  I hope to have time to post some new stuff over the Christmas holidays.

Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal

View of Mt Everest

 

I was fortunate enough to travel to Nepal recently where I completed the trek to Everest Base Camp (from Lukla). I’ll be posting a day-by-day report on this magnificent walk shortly.

Devils Marbles, Northern Territory

Devils Marbles

I’ve been a bit slack updating this blog, but more walks will be added soon.

I recently was able to make a short visit to the Northern Territory; my first visit in 30 years since we lived there in Warrego (45km west of Tennant Creek) for six months back in 1980.

Just off the Stuart Highway about 95km south of Tennant Creek are the ‘Devils Marbles’ (Karlu Karlu in the local aboriginal languages). These are well worth a visit – there is a self guided walk as well as plenty of walking trails allowing you to explore.
