Belize: a Natural Underwater Beauty

December 27, 2017 by Vincent StokesLeave a Comment

Belize: a Natural Underwater Beauty

When you're looking for gorgeous places to scuba dive, Belize should be at the top of your list. With a low human population, an abundance of terrestrial and marine species and diverse ecosystems, Belize is the ideal place to indulge in some adventurous travel. When it comes to scuba diving, though, Belize really shines. A large percentage of its territorial waters are protected, which means that the natural beauty of its coral reefs and the … [Read more...]

Experience Sunshine Coast my way

Experience Sunshine Coast my way

When you are leading a stressful life as I was, you usually do not even realize it until it is too late. Only after some types of trauma people do start paying attention to the tempo of their lives and how much stress they truly feel. Also, living in modern cities additionally produces a great level of stress which does not occur in the county. Long commutes to/from work, long lines at supermarkets, traffic jams and too many people constantly … [Read more...]

Outback Beyond: 6 Months in Australia

Outback Beyond: 6 Months in Australia

PART I: QUEENSLAND I landed with a thump on a Quantus long-haul flight, back when smoking was allowed and drinking encouraged, like a character out of a Bruce Chatwin novel. I was ineffably in error while reading my Lonely Planet guidebook on the plane--thinking that “Cairns” was pronounced with an “r” in it, when to local “Aussie” cobbers (not “Ozzies,” a common mistake both of Septic Tank Yanks [Americans] and Bloody Pomes [Britishs]), it … [Read more...]

Local Insights with Kuku Yalanji Cultural Habitat Tours

Brothers Linc and Brandon Walker run Kuku Yalanji Cultural Habitat Tours located just north of Port Douglas in Queensland. They are part of the Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal heritage; they grew up here - they know the land, they know the ocean, they know the habitat and they have a strong relationship to their environment. Their ancestors have been here thousands of years and they are passing on their unique heritage through a variety of cultural and … [Read more...]

Tips for Crossing Australia’s Mighty Nullarbor

Tips for Crossing Australia’s Mighty Nullarbor

When you think of the classic Australian landscape, the straight, lengthy, and nearly featureless expanse of the Nullarbor Plain may come to mind. If you plan to drive between the states of Western Australia and South Australia on a cross-country voyage, you'll need to pass through this uniquely desolate region. Nullarbor means "no trees" due to the flat monotony of its landscape, which can bring to mind a trip to another planet at times. … [Read more...]

Top #epicOZ experiences

Australia is a country that begs to be explored - not quickly but slowly over a number of months. In the absence of such time, shorter trips are fine but focusing on a specific part of the country rather than trying to see to much. The distances are great and the experiences diverse. So to is the culture, the weather and the natural landscape. After a number of trips to the country I've spent some time coming up with some of my most epic … [Read more...]

Great Barrier Reef Capsizing & Rescue Story

Great Barrier Reef Capsizing & Rescue Story

I have been to Queensland several times over the years but each time I've never had the chance to visit the Great Barrier Reef. It has been on my "bucket list" for a very long time. During my latest trip earlier this year I was fortunate to finally be able to visit this reef, certainly one of the planet's most inspiring underwater and above water destinations. During my time exploring the reef I met an engaging individual, Nick Lynch. I've … [Read more...]

Lizard Island, Remote Luxury

Lizard Island, Remote Luxury

Arrival You are on a 10-seater looking out of the window. The azure waters glisten out of the side windows with spectacular coral reefs coming into view as the plane steadily makes its way to a small island in the Coral Seal - in the far northern reaches of Queensland. This tiny chunk of land is named Lizard Island and was named so by captain James Cook in 1770 after he climbed to the highest point of the island to look for a passage through … [Read more...]
