All finished, then. Three and a half weeks in New Zealand really isn’t enough, but we gave it a decent stab, clambering over glaciers, flying in terrifyingly small planes, and jumping out of them. We took nearly two thousand pictures: see the best of them by clicking here.
We enjoy some thoroughly cold camping on New Zealand’s west coast, and go hiking over a glacier. See how many ankles we broke by clicking here.
We fire ourselves out of Port Macquarie and visit Byron Bay, home of… Byron? Also, click here to see just how well the Australians do camping.
We get out of Sydney, quit our jobs (um, again) and head north. And north, and north. See how the first leg of our epic tour of Australia’s eastern coast went by clicking here.

Five months, 15,000 miles, and over 6,000 photos. One fake driving license and a multitude of cockroaches. Countless trains, buses and boats. We must have learned something. Click here to find out what.
I stood in knee-high waves for hours before I took a good picture of a surfer. If you’re heading to a beach this weekend, learn from my mistakes by clicking here.
Consumer products aren’t built to last and customer support is dead, you say? I disagree, although bringing all of my broken gear to Malaysia might get old. Click here to see how my camera went from dead to living.
We go for a small walk in the woods that ends up with blood, sweat and tears. We dodge leeches, elephants and monitor lizards and, somehow, survive. Click here to find out how.
We wave goodbye to Thailand and head to northern Malaysia by way of a suicidally fast speedboat, held together in parts with duct tape. Find out how wet we got by clicking here.
