Taking off from Sydney in an EC130 Eurocopter (Private Charter)
We had to make a trip from Sydney to Bowral in the Southern Highlands (1hr 40 min drive). Rang the guys at Sydney Helicharter and the flight time was just 35 mins there and 40 mins back. There are cheaper helicopters but the Eurocopter offers far greater flight comfort for a little extra cost. Cost for this trip which included our own private pilot and luggage assistance to our hotel was $4,500. Well worth it.
Mittagong to KATOOMBA // Bushwalking Solo in the Greater Blue Mountains Aussie Wilderness
A challenging 7 day 150km bushwalk near Sydney. I really enjoyed this walk & it was a great feeling of achievement to complete the walk.. This is definitely a bushwalk for very experienced bushwalkers only. The walk is in a very remote area & parts have no visible track. Also there is no cell phone reception.
Please help put a stop to the proposed plans of raising the Warragamba dam wall.

What does Training for L'etape Australia Look Like? Vlog #64
What does training for L’etape Australia look like? When you’ve been a cyclist for the past 8 weeks and now you’ve got some tour de France elevation in front of you. How do you train?
With the help of the November Project, Yana Hempler and Brent McMahon. Yes the Ironman champion partnered with the always wonderful Ironman Canada Champion Jasper Blake. Jamie, Jay & Heather from Synergy and a few new nutritionists. The 2nd chapter looks to be a lot more exciting than the first.
Lots of new training off the bike, but also all sorts of training directed at the viewers instead of me for the up and coming videos as we head towards 100 videos in a row. 64 are in the books.

22nd November 2011. Groups opposing CSG mining across NSW assembled in Hyde Park Sydney, and marched to Parliament House to handover the petition of over 20,000 signatures to the Premier Barry O'Farrell, who refused to come out and accept it. The leader of the opposition, John Robertson, the member for Keira, Ryan Park (Labor), the member for Kiama, Gareth Ward (Liberal) and the Member for Balmain, Jamie Parker (Greens) did come out to meet the crowd. After some negotiations it was decided the the best person to accept the petition and hand it over to the Premier was Gareth.

Bundanoon Village, NSW, Australia
Bundanoon in The Southern Highlands has Excellent Accommodation, there are many Things to Do, Places to Go and many Restaurants, Cafes and even a wonderful Olde Worlde Pub. Just 90 minutes from Canberra and Sydney it is close enough to visit with young children, and you can experience a completely different Country Lifestyle.
There is even a Farm Stay called Morvern Valley where you can rent a cottage for a weekend or a week! Morvern Valley was one of the earliest guest accommodations in Bundanoon.
In Bundanoon you can go Horse Riding, or Visit the Sunnatarum Monastry. See Glow Worms in a ‘must do’ twilight adventure walk. The Morton National Park has great bushwalking including Fairy Bower Waterfalls, Erith Coal Mine. Coal Creek, Lovers Walk, Fossil Beds, Bonnie View, The Grand Canyon, Beauchamp Cliffs, Tooth’s Lookout, Gambell’s Rest and more!
Hamilton Hume (of later Hume and Hovell fame) has generally been credited as the first white man to find his way to the Bowral/Moss Vale locality in 1814. Dr. Charles Throsby first mentions this exact area in his diary in 1818. In his expedition diary he refers to Bundanoon as Bantanoon - from the local aboriginal name meaning place of deep gullies”.
The site of the present village of Bundanoon had been a meeting and trading place for the Wadi-wadi and Gandangara peoples for centuries. Coal creek which crosses Morvern Valley Bundanoon was a creek used by these peoples. There are sharpening grooves and rock paintings on the surfaces of the sandstone of Coal Creek near to Morvern Valley of these indigenous peoples.
The deep gullies at Bundanoon were seen as a barrier to communication and travel. Indeed Throsby realized looking out over the cliffs that there was to be no easy access to the coast from this area which is what he had been seeking. But the magnificent scenery of The Gullies so impressed Throsby, that he immediately began to urge Governor Lachlan Macquarie to declare what we call today a heritage reserve, of a thousand acres, over the area (granted in 1824) next to Morvern Valley Farm Stay. This natural reserve Charles Throsby was so dedicated to preserve, is today the Bundanoon section of the Morton National Park just a 500 meter walk from Morvern Valley.
The Gullies with their beautiful lookouts, waterfalls and escarpments were to later be one of the most important ingredients in the development of the village. The Gullies had immense visual value for tourism – indeed the deep gullies have made Bundanoon what it is today.
Early settlement of Europeans in this area of The Southern Highlands had mainly been in the vicinity of Berrima and Suttons Forest. But after the Land Act of 1861 was passed, selectors began taking up land towards present day Bundanoon. Travelling was very hard in the early days for these settlers as the railway did not arrive until 1868.
Horseback, Bullock teams and sturdy horse and carts were the only transport available for people, supplies and equipment. The Morvern Valley Original Homestead fronts onto Grey Gum Lane - this narrow lane was the original route the first explorers traversed to open up the Southern areas of NSW – the ‘main road’ of its time!
Bundanoon was merely a few scattered farms until the arrival of the Railway en route to Goulburn in 1868. Morvern Valley was one of those scattered farms since 1862. The Tooth Family were one of the very Earliest Settlers of Bundanoon. There were 86 guesthouses in Bundanoon and Morvern Valley operated as one of these as early as 1896.
