Paradise

Best Beach in Australia (my opinion )

This is a best kept secret.
A beautiful beach surrounded by rainforest - inaccessible to most - and it's 10 mins in a four wheel drive from my home.

Few have seen it, and in all of Australia it is the place I go to kick back.

Some days I paddle my kayak to get here, other days I get lazy and drive the four wheel drive.

Maybe some day we'll share it!!

2006 January --
G'day folks,

Well whats been happening so far in 2006?
January I went from the bottom to the top of Australia with two clients from the USA --
Tasmania to Cape Tribulation.
The weather in Tassie was superb -- and in the far north we enjoyed the first monsoons of the year -- all together a fascinating look at Australia..
The Great Ocean Road was a highlight in the south - the waves were 20 feet high the day we drove the coast -

In the middle of all that I flew up to Darwin to take a Russian Film crew on assignment - we drove four wheel drives in convoy from Darwin , through Kakadu and down to Alice Springs.
(see notes on Russian filming).

Next will be a month of planning , then March it's back up to Cape Tribulation again , then Darwin .

Hope you enjoy the photos -- and feel free to leave comments.

Mike.

Filming Russian TV program 'THE WORLD OF ANIMALS'

Hi People,

I have posted a few shots of a trip we did in January 2006 for a Russian TV program.
We travelled from Darwin to Alice Springs via Kakadu, Mataranka and Tennant Creek looking for and filming all sorts of critters along the way.
The program will be seen by around 150 - 200 million people - mostly in Russia I guess.
Prominent Russian wildlife scientist and a real character of a man - Dr Nikolei Drosdov features as we get up close and personal with all sorts of wonderful critters.
