The Journey Continues

The Journey Continues

While the flight ‘There and Back’ has concluded, the journey is just beginning in many ways.

There are speaking engagements and correspondence to attend to. Later this month I’ll be speaking at the Press Club in Canberra and for the first time making a presentation of the recent trek around Australia.

As words of the manuscript flow into text, it is obvious that a wealth of material also exists in a visual sense; split between still images and ‘High Definition’ footage. With ...

The Wind in the Wires

 

Web Bach

Biplane by Richard Bach

This book follows the author as he purchases and then flies an antique biplane from the east to west coast of America.

For those with a real passion for flying, this book will strike a nerve as Bach not only describes the trans-continental flight, but captures the essence of dawdling through the sky in an open cockpit.

Starry-eyed, I awaited the reply that would define the sheer essence of aviation and the pioneer spirit. “The Tiger?” he started, “It was cold, draughty, noisy and you’d end up with windburn, sunburn and ...

Over The Front.

This weekend I was able to visit the Australian War Memorial at Canberra.

The personal stories that emerge from this remarkable Australian memorial seemed to be limitless and no less thought provoking. The display of historically significant artefacts are tremendously complemented by the impressive ‘sound and light’ presentations in the various great halls.
