Tripping Since 2006

 Your online experience starts with our pioneering web page “Walkabout” from 2006 when the term blog was a new addition to the dictionary. In later years the round Australia trip theme continues. In later years we have also started travelling around Thailand experiencing the food and the beautiful country.

Where the Pinnacles Remember

Amid the haunting limestone spires of Nambung, we trace the echoes of explorers and loss — where the desert wind still whispers Frederick Smith’s story and the Pinnacles stand as timeless witnesses.

Solo in the Nambung District – May 2026

Twelve days of solo trekking through the Nambung District revealed a landscape still healing — from the loss of Bee Hive Point’s wild hives to the fall of a great Tuart finally claimed by fire. Among rediscovered pinnacles and fading Alf Passfield landmarks, this journey became a quiet record of change, memory, and endurance in Western Australia’s shifting sands.

Old Friends and Time to Say Goodbye

Catching up with old friends brings all the familiar warmth — shared stories, easy laughs and the comfort of people who’ve been part of the journey for years. But goodbyes always arrive too soon. This chapter captures the joy of reconnecting and the quiet ache of parting ways as the road calls us onward again.

Onwards to Chiang Mai

The road north leads us toward Chiang Mai once again — winding highways, mountain views and those small travel moments that make the journey as good as the destination. This chapter captures the shift in pace, the changing landscapes and the anticipation of rolling back into one of our favourite Thai cities.

Back to Pua – A Favourite

A return to one of our favourite places in Thailand — Pua. Foggy mornings, ridge‑top roads, salt wells, friendly faces and long walks through green fields. A calm stretch of days filled with simple meals, smoky sunsets and that familiar mountain magic we always love coming back to.

Steve and Alison

In 1999, we went on our first outback trip together, traveling from Brisbane to Uluru via the Simpson Desert. We discovered a shared love of getting away from it all and experiencing the beauty of our country. In 1999, we traveled with the bare essentials, sleeping on a mattress in the back of our Nissan Patrol GQ. As we’ve gotten older, we’ve decided to bring our comfort with us so we can travel for longer periods of time and in more challenging weather conditions. We upgraded to a rooftop tent first, and then to our beloved Amesz expedition vehicle, nicknamed 4WDAUS..

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Our website is a unique time capsule that captures our travels and memories. As we get older, our memories can fade, but our photos remain a permanent record of our experiences.

When we travel, we always bring our cameras with us. We love capturing the beauty of the world around us, from rusty cars and old homes to glowing sunsets and candid moments.

Our photos are more than just snapshots of time; they are also a way to preserve our emotions and experiences. When we look back at our photos, we are transported back to the moment we took them. We can feel the warmth of the sun on our skin, smell the salty air, and hear the laughter of our loved ones.

Our website is a way to share our travels with others. We hope that our photos will inspire you to explore the world and create your own memories.

So next time you’re traveling, don’t forget to bring your camera! And don’t be afraid to take just one more photo. You never know when it might be the one that captures a special moment in time.
