  1. Yesterday we got up close to some cockatoos (and many other birds) 🦜 #lorne #GreatOceanRoad #australia

  2. New at my Patreon... Taking a holiday at Lorne on the Great Ocean Road, we did an enormous amount of reading - interrupted by the antics of the local cockatoos:

  3. The end of the road trip?

    The culture of 'the drive' requires sisyphean road maintenance, especially in a climate emergency.

    Mobile sprawl as a form of 'recreation' eliminates the landscape. It is the annihilation of space and time. Motorists want to get from their door to the spectacle in the fastest way possible. The 'in-between space' viewed through the car window vanishes.

    The pleasure cruise from A to B does not just degrade the landscape, but also eradicates possibilities of a livable planet. The overuse by the masses in their fossil fuel boxes makes the hillsides crumble, leads to landslides and erosion. After flash flooding, drought and heatwaves the roads have to be rebuilt over and over again.

    Here are three cases of 'scenic drives':
    California, Victoria and NSW

    Extreme weather is changing California. These road trips show how

  8. Great Ocean Road Complete

    A few days ago I finished the Great Ocean Road challenge I started on Christmas Eve. It was good motivation to have a long term distance goal to encourage me to get out for runs throughout the Winter.

  9. Great Ocean Road

    Starting today I'm running the Great Ocean Road Virtual Challenge to run a total of about 240 km. I'm aiming to do that in about 12 weeks, so if I get out for 4 runs each week during the winter and do a distance of 5 km each time I'll be on target.
