Pebbles, stones, rocks, cliffs and .mountains all have held facination for me since childhood. Learning to climb was not just a strength building exercise, its a whole of body all of senses thing. Exposure to heights and the real prospect of falling ignites every synapse in your body. Being calm and unlocking a path through a 3D arrangement of hand ad footholds is something that takes time. The settings for climbing are so diverse, each piece of stone rpart of a geological jigsaw; each location a new journey to undertake as much climbing happens in your head on the approach as you gaze up a line of weakness and wonder if it will go, and if you are up to the task of sending it. I have won some, lost some and most importantly met some amazing people in my time climbing. This gallery hopefully tells this story and inspires those who havent climbed to do it!

If climbing was  my first outdoor  discipline  I fully immersed in, kayaking and rafting is certainly my deepest. I have been paddling for 15 years, taught my kids the basics, learned from the most incredible and sharing of communities, learned that no river run is ever the same and that the level is everything. Something technical and tight can become playful with more water, and other times a fall of rain in a catchment will cause the most unlikely of streams to sometime become a navigable path. I hope to keep doing this long into my life, there is no activity like it, it can take you to places inaccessible by foot or road. this gallery contains images spread around the rivers and streams of Canberra and the snowies. Condor Creek, Goodradigbee, Shoalhaven, Murrumbidgee, Cotter, the Gudgenby, Rendesvous Creek and Orrorral River are some of my favourite places to explore. Kayaking, packrafting, hiking and even fishing are my connections to these waters..
