And then, imagine this...millions of years after your entire species is long gone, an individual of a species you will never see for yourself happens upon your footprints; immortalised remnants of your life, of your very existence. Pure happenstance and suddenly two species, millions of years apart, are connected.
We decided to travel through our home state...Just in this one road trip, we had been to the red outback centre of the state to the crystal clear oceans that frame its edges.
Living in this area is wonderful so far. We both bought bikes, which is great. We have so many great bike tracks around the city. I miss the relaxed atmosphere of Southeast Asia but I love the feeling of home.
A dizzying array of colour literally surrounds you as the fish swim with you. The Great Barrier Reef is renowned for a very good reason…and I promise that there is nothing like it. It is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and it more than earns its place.
You are surrounded by beautiful little coloured fish. They literally will swim towards you out of curiosity and then stay with you as you swim around, especially next to the wrecks.
The waterfall breaks over a fallen tree, and the result is something that seems out of a fairytale – you’re in a cave, watching a waterfall break and churn into a creek that flows between a rainforest. At night, the entire underside of the cave lights up with hundreds of glow worms.
This particular spot was amazing because we found it entirely by accident. After watching riders do their practice runs all day from the finish line, we found this field of little yellow flowers. It was beautiful.
Coolangatta beach is one of the most popular beaches on the Gold Coast in Australia. During the year, sometimes you can watch whales breach off in the distance, and occasionally you can see dolphins swim in quite close to the shore.
With stunning waterfalls surrounded by dense Australian bush, this place is special. Interestingly, Cedar Creek Falls was also the shooting location for television series Terra Nova. Even so, this magical little spot remains (mostly) a secret.
