Let’s be honest, I tend to talk about the Kimberley as this place of almost indescribable beauty and joy and satisfaction. And it certainly is. There’s no shortage of amazing places and memorable moments to make a lasting impression. But what this trip has also reminded me of is that all of the good stuff – the beautiful swims and the scenic lookouts and the big starry skies – definitely comes at a price.

When I first visited Manning back in 2013 it was late in the Dry Season.

This latest video is a collection of footage shot over that period and helps

Back in the real world my days start slowly. Coffee helps clear any lingering fog of one beer too many the night before. My morning scan of world news and the latest Donald Trump scandal lulls me into a false sense of feeling like I have learned something new  – something useful – about the world, as if my daily consumption of bad news – or ‘fake news’ – makes me a better person.
