The Source of Life
The petrol-heads among us will recall a famous UK Top Gear Special when the (original) team went in search of the source of the Nile. A classic episode of the show...
Whist this photo shows a rather nice sunset, it also shows you the famous amphitheater escarpment of the Northern Drakensberg but also Mont-aux-Sources on the left side and it is there that some of the most important rivers in South Africa begin their journey to the seas (Indian and Atlantic) bringing life wherever they flow
So, for a few hours at least as I sat contemplating this beautiful scenery, I dreamed I had won the race against 3 motoring experts and done so without damaging my choice of car (A Million Bonus points to me then!)
Until next time

Australia you've been amazing!
Perth - The last day – almost.
You can go down the swan river about 20km to Fremantle and then out to a small Island – Rottnest. On the way we were part of an exercise by the Australian SAS who were practising/training how to get close to a moving vessel.

Living in South Africa
Arriving for the first time and as a well-travelled individual, the first thing I noticed is that it looked remarkably familiar...but different. This is the same kind of initial impression I had when I first visited Australia and New Zealand. The common theme here of course is that these countries are all part of the Commonwealth and part of their legacies are very similar indeed.
Security and Violence in South Africa are well-documented topics on the worldwide news. The first drive away from the airport revealed a landscape with houses and heavy electric fencing, a very unusual sight.
