A video, some pics and a few words...

Here is my first attempt at editing a video of one of my runs. The run was at Namadgi National Park, along the Australian Alps Walking Track, with a side trip up Mt Tennent. It's a bit shaky, the editing is rough and the image isn't as crisp as I was hoping-but it's a start right!

Some other images from my time in Australia:
These pics are from an amazing 3.5 hour run I did around the beautiful Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. I ran up to a high ridge and summit at Camel's Hump, hoping to catch a view, but it was completely clouded in and quickly became my coldest run in Australia. The trail was great for 9/10ths of the way, followed by some thick "bush bashing" and a trot along a very exposed area of rock. I have more pictures up on Facebook.


Lauren and I also spent New Year's at Tidbinbilla, where we had a beautiful picnic spot, surrounded by animals as the sun was setting. It was a great way to wrap up the year:





I'm back in Victoria now, getting ready for my last semester of school. On top of getting out on the trails over the weekend with the crew, I was treated to a flight around scenic Victoria, on a spectacular afternoon by Jeff Bujas. He is a former national team rower and world championship medalist, who is continuing to pursue his passions. I have serious respect for his drive, he has worked some thankless jobs to fund his goal of becoming a commercial pilot and has been generously sharing his air time with friends, so thanks. Also, maybe not the most environmentally sensitive way of scoping out trails, but I found some amazing looking tracks around Goldstream Park from the air that I plan on checking out this winter/spring:


Apparently they let guys like this fly, I have now become a train person!
