Crossing the Nullabor desert in a $400 car before the days of a sealed highway, spending six months touring NSW showgrounds with a travelling carnival, picking oranges on Queensland farm, building a house on an outback sheep station, circumnavigating north America in an old car, pulling beer in a London pub, cycling around northern Europe on $10 a day, three years at uni as a mature age student, starting a building business, living in a Fijian village under siege from a crazy developer, and intricately exploring the east coast of Australia. It was a busy couple of decades. But did I find paradise? You'll find out.
