The Oodnadatta Part Three
Nighttime on a salt lake is eerie. The void of landscape was amplified in darkness. The silence, extraordinary. Full sensory deprivation. The only point of reference to the shore was the far-off speck of orange from the van’s internal lighting. I slung my bag over my shoulder and began the long walk home; the sound...

The Oodnadatta Part Two
The four tonne, eight metre long lumbering behemoth rattled and shook along the heavily corrugated wide sandy track. I held the wheel and tried desperately to find smooth patches. This usually looked like swerving my way across either side of the road and some of the time finding solace in driving off the road entirely.... Continue Reading →
The Oodnadatta Part One
The outback was calling me. Silence and solitude. The peace that my soul had been asking for so many months ago. Two weeks floating around the Flinders Ranges gave me a gentle easing into the emptiness of wild Australia. My dear friend Kel met me at Aroona Campground and we traversed the gorgeous gorges and...

The Moth and the Mirror
The van sat on a grassy corner of wild coastal Coorong in the lower part of South Australia. I had been driving for a long time after a powerful evolutionary experience at Confest. The evening was still. I had previously ventured over the dunes to sit with the seemingly endless expanse of coast and was... Continue Reading →
The Second Photos
I'm getting more confident with this camera and enjoying taking it out on my walks. A group of seabirds gathered on a rock on the coastal shore of the Coorong. Caleb fishes from a partially submerged log on the Murray River. Beautiful Selina repairing my tights after a few hours of dancing. Post Confest, Rowdy,... Continue Reading →
CONFEST Part One
I write this through a longing of heart and connection now relinquished. A separation from conscious interaction in an environment that feels like home. Thousands of humans, living in freedom, making examples of a better world. I met a dear friend, Bonnie, at a café in Mullumbimby, many months prior. She encouraged me to attend... Continue Reading →
The First Photos
So I got a camera. A Canon 80D and a couple of lenses. I walk through a place, my eye catches a scene, my heart tells me to capture this beauty, to create and replicate the divine expression of nature and form. I had better listen. Here are some shots taken on the road so... Continue Reading →
The Rage
Energy was low. I felt like heavy flesh characterized by heavy emotion. A walk in the forest ended up being an uncomfortable uphill slog, my heart beating intensely. I tried seeking comfort, distraction, something. My organism was compulsive, lost in a fog of automation. Awareness and sovereignty was beyond concept, beyond experience. Hilariously, these things...

The Wandering
We can liken any expedition to The Hero’s Journey as in the late Joseph Campbell’s mythological works. The hero finds lack, leaves the village on a quest for value, goes through struggle, perhaps is victorious, and returns to the village with the gold (ie. wisdom). There is purpose in this archetypical story, there is direction... Continue Reading →
