Tsingy de Bemeraha National Park in Madagascar's wild west is the place for the adventure traveller and wildlife enthusiast. Here you can scale limestone peaks with sharp edges you can cut yourself on or, if you're a Mervyn Peake fan, imagine you are in Gormenghast. There are regionally and local endemic birds and animals found nowhere else on the planet or even anywhere else in Madagascar, including the gorgeous Decken's sifaka, clumsily cute giant coua and endearing Tsingy tufted-tailed rat.

Join us on an adventure into a true world of wonders.

This narrative describes our harrowing time in Batemans Bay witnessing people and animals losing their homes and lives during the devastating bushfires of Australian summer 2019-20. It was awful, and shocking, and strange. 

The photo is of a lovely native lizard, many of which perished in the conflagration

The main island in the Cook Islands chain, Rarotonga is a delight. A fringing reef surrounds the island, much of it marine sanctuary with crystal clear waters, coral reefs and rainbow-coloured fish. There's a market in the main town for shoppers, sandy beaches aplenty, and lots to do including snorkelling, kayaking, fishing and relaxing. The food is very tasty: lots of fresh fish and salads, and some good local beer.

Valletta, Malta's tiny capital city, is chock-a-block full of wonders. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its streets are walled with golden sandstone buildings, many from the 17th century, while its lookouts reveal its large harbour where working boats rub shoulders with cruise liners. Marble statues marvel on street corners; bar stools perch precariously on flights of stairs; film crews haul reflectors and cameras; and music can be heard everywhere. There are gardens, cool museums, churches, bars and restaurants aplenty; you can walk everywhere and photo everything; and there's even a rocky harbour beach that is good for swimming. The sun shines, the wine flows, flowers bloom, fountains play, lizards scutter and people smile. The good life.

Join us on our wonderful adventure to this never logged and fully protected piece of paradise.

Built as part of the construction of the Panama Canal, Gatun Lake is one of the world's largest and most beautiful artificial lakes. Tree-covered islands house monkeys, sloths and bats while birds abound on and around the water. Just bobbing about on the clear lake surrounded by nature, hearing the calls of birds and mammals, is a relaxing and joyful experience. Now exhale. Ahhhhhh

The world famous Panama Canal is well worth a visit to watch huge ships navigate through the locks on their way from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans, while in the middle of the city the Parque Natural is a haven for wildlife including sloths, tamarins and hummingbirds.

There's more to Panama City than rows of skyscrapers and the world famous canal, including a research centre managed by the Smithsonian Institute with lots of wildlife including sloths and crab-eating racoons, as well as a UNESCO-listed old city with a lively barrio feel and cool boutique restaurants.

Lisbon, Portugal's capital city, has a glorious past with a medieval castle to prove it, and a bright future.

With two of its tourist sites being the world's sexiest toilet and a fairground-themed sardine shop, this is the place to have fun.

70% of all plants and animals found in Madagascar live nowhere else, and many of these species only survive in small pockets of isolated vegetation. Visiting Madagascar, therefore, is like going to many diverse countries, each with their own landscape and animals. It's pure magic and like nowhere else you've ever been.

There’s a good reason why the Sagrada Familia (Holy family) in Barcelona is Spain’s most visited tourist attraction and why it’s my favourite building of all time. Antoni Gaudi's famous cathedral combines the beauty of nature with religious symbolism to which he's contributed his magic touch.
