I can't thank you enough for your detailed description of your tour of the Galapagos Islands. Although I have lived in Ecuador for about 15 years, your fantastic photo-diary has been the best tool in helping us plan our LONG-AWAITED and upcoming trip for our family of four (including two young children). Thank you so much! Happy Travels and Best Wishes!

Great website, haven't had time to go through the whole thing but what I have seen so far is amazing.

I am interested in your Colca Canyon trek. What company did you use? We are headed there in about 10 days. Thanks.

would like to contact you in person about south coast walk
normally write about high country.
cheers klaus

First of all, compliments for the nice website. Also the link with everytrail is very useful!
But I have a question. At the end of this year (Nov) I have plans to go walking in the Snowies. I saw your dead horse gap to Kiandra trip. Is it possible to walk this trip in reverse? (so from Kiandra to dead horse gap).

Hi guys, here I was planning on doing a long walk along the Great Sandy National park and then I find your website that tells me the both of you have already done it..!! Way to go..!!
I'm going to be doing my walk once the weather cools down a bit and thanks to your detailed narration, I now know what to be prepared for. Its going to be a lot longer than yours as I'm planning to circumnavigate Fraser Island before setting off down the Cooloola section.
Anyway, keep it going guys, I enjoyed reading about all your walks and the places you have been to. I sure hope that I will be able to hop around the world on treks like yours, some day in the not too distant future.

Happy Trekking..!

Thanks for sharing your amazing travels! I'm planning a gap year in the near future and ur journey through the Andes has made me even more excited! The trip to Manu in Peru looked amazing and I was just wandering how u went about it? Did you hire a guide there or join a group tour? And was it expensive? Any info will b great - thanks! Charlie

Just loved your journal and photos of the prom hope to do the walk with partner this year and as we havn't done one before your site was really informative and great visuals. Very inspiring well done, loved it

Really enjoyed reading your report on the Andes trekking (esp. Santa Cruz trek). You also take "awesome" photos. Thanks for sharing!

I have a couple of questions. Were you in Peru in June or July? When is the best month to go there?

CORRECTION: I meant the BNT often disappeared or has been paved over; such as S of Mt. Morgan & was ridiculously dry around Nebo etc... up in Qland. I tried to follow the border track into NSW, but I found out the hard way that Qlanders like to bushbash more than they like to maintain trail or something. DS

Very awesome deja vu , y'all. I hiked from Brisbane to Melbourne in '06-'07 summer, so in the rain until Thredbo when had sun to Melbourne... wish I woulda gone all the way to valhalla & finished at land's end S. of there. Also wanted to add Penguin to SW track on Tas, but ran outta time, cuz I had false starts several times thinking I was going to start my walk further N, but the AAWT often disappeared & I just did some Queensland Great Walks. Still wish I could have found out about a Melbourne gal that did my long walk b4 me but I never could verify it, DS

I've really enjoyed looking at your site and reliving some of my own adventures. I can't wait to get back to Torres del Paine and am heading over to the Routeburn and Kepler after New Year.
Thank you for spending the time to put this website together.

Your website was also a late find by myself. It's all about (false) ratings/methods by G and others. Those good (and available) images just can not be found in one place, and not even from the tourism people (consistantly) across New Zealand. You've done us a service. Through TourismStuff we will be exposing some of your images just a little bit more to New Zealanders (and the world), with credits back to your website. Our website has some distance to go, with many more software twists/options yet to come. Have tried to imagine how you might have recorded your daily text....possibly using some post-trip voice recognition software ?
Thanks & Regards, John

Hi My name is Renee and I am contacting you from a Publishing Company named John Wiley & Sons Australia. We are an educational textbook publisher and we would like to publish a photo from your website in an Atlas we are about to publish.

Please contact me for further information.
Thanks Renee

Found your site while researching for our Vietnam tour in December 2009, just like you both, me and my husband really find time to travel and experience beautiful places and cultures. I found your Dalat adventure interesting. I just wanted to know what tour agency you linked up with while in Dalat. Can you give me their contact details. Thanks. More power to your site.

what a brilliant website, spirituality, exercise and nature.....me and my family have fallen in love with manyana and will visit at xmas, I am planninig to do lots of early morning runs, 10-20 kms, i want to run from manyana to milton along the beach, can you cross the water at conjola and narrawalli in the morning ? how deep would it be ?

Your photos of the St Angelus hut hike, etc., are beautiful. We did the same hike(in the rain)a few years back and came home with no photo of the hut and surrounding lakes. By any chance would you like to share the one of yours which includes the hut itself? We'd like to blow it up and frame it. We just read that the hut will be replaced with a larger one this year. Thanks and good cheer! Perry

What a wonderful thing you have done to share your gorgeous photos and descriptions on this website. My husband and I are biologists and we suspect you have similar loves for landscape, feather, flower, fin and whatever else happens by. You took pictures of all the things we would want to see! Having returned from a trip to Cape Leveque and then along the Gibb and to Purnululu, I'm having fun reliving our great trip through your photos. We're also inspired to visit some of the places we couldn't fit in this time. THANK YOU!!!

Your site is more than great or fabulous.Its very professional and you write like an experienced travel writer. We found you recently through Brigit Bradtke's site on Kimberley region West Australia which is also superb for us travellers who want to self drive, trek, do it all ourselves and who are almost grey nomads and have been around doing these kinds of holidays all our life, and dont want to be overcrowded with "tourists". We are doing Kimberley again next June July, definitely one of the greatest wilderness areas in Australia. As a Pilot, I have flown through that area many times and it never ceases to amaze me. We have also been to Himalayas 35 days, New Guinea 3 times including Kokoda, Busival Black Cat and Bulldog treks (we were the first to do these last ones ), and New Zealand, Europe Alps, etc. The 4 countries Alps walk Italy France Austria and Switzerland is mind blowing. I'll definitely pass on your site to all my like minded friends.

Great photography and all labelled - well done. Unfortunately the Kimberly section is not uploaded and I would love to see that. Can you let me know when it is?
