Continue reading →: Dog-Friendly Bikepacking Route: Dogpacking in the Victorian High CountryI spend a lot of time trawling through maps looking for places I can take my dog. They’re not always easy to find when you live in the Australian High Country, where most of it sits inside national parks that don’t allow dogs. So when I spotted this pocket of…

Whilst some items have stuck with me since day one, others have been swapped out, upgraded or completely left behind.

Continue reading →: Canberra Gravel Ride: Googong Western ForeshoreMost people don’t go to Googong chasing adventure. With shiny new houses popping up each day, it sounds more cul-de-sac than gravel escape.

Continue reading →: The Best Dog-Friendly Hikes in the Blue MountainsThe Blue Mountains is hands-down one of my favourite places to go hiking with my dog, Bowie.
