Welcome back

Well it's been 4 weeks and 3 road trips in Australia since I posted to Waltzing Matilda around the World from Seoul.

I'm back, having secured a home and career move to Melbourne, Victoria. Over the next few weeks and months will be going back over the gaps in my story from last year and writing my adventures, which also include Laura, Marc and Karen and Victoria, not forgetting my kind hosts on the "world tour".

My year in Canada ended with taking no less than 18 flights in 2 1/2 months around the world to get home and stopping in some of the world's most beautiful places. It's been the experience of a lifetime, but like a good book, the devil is in the detail. So whilst my story may lack some freshness in not being immediate reporting, I am looking forward to diving into the detail of the sights and smells of the past few months, from the sublime of the Prague Opera House to the ridiculous of seeing a person dressed as a toilet in Times Square, New York.

So pull on your cowboy boots and come with me to the start- Calgary Stampede July 2007, when men were "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" for breast cancer research.
