Welcome
Join me as I travel around Australia using our historic lighthouses as my waypoints. While these will mark my route it is what happens between them that is as important as discovering the story behind each and every lighthouse.
In many ways this will be a voyage into the unknown, not only for the roads I will travel, the people I will meet and the stories I will discover, but also for the time spent alone.
It will be a new experience for me to be on my own, with no itinerary or timeline, taking each day as it comes and going wherever the urge takes me. By trusting fate and following my instincts I'll allow the road to take me where it will, and by being open to opportunity and adapting to circumstances I trust the journey will be just as interesting as the destinations.

As I travel about I will be recording my thoughts and observations as semi-regular journal entries, blogs and instagram posts. I expect the subjects covered will be many and varied and in an attempt to classify my notes and photos into some sort of order I will be posting to one of the three channels noted below; so you can click on the links that are of most interest to you.
Travellers Tales will be a Log where I record the day to day highs and lows of life on the road;
Lighthouse Stories will be a catalogue of my and other peoples lighthouses stories, and
Thoughts of the Solo Traveller will be more introspective and collection of my personal thoughts and observations that I expect will come to the surface as I spend time alone and outside my comfort zone.
