Photos: Travels from Fitzroy to Fitz Roy 2015
I have placed all the photos I took during my travels in 2015 on Flickr. They are simply categorised in order of the countries that I visited but over coming months, I will add descriptions of the places they were taken and other ‘meta-data’. If you are curious about something, please do ask and I

The transition back into Melbournian and Australian life after a long hiatus is exhilarating.
