Australia is a place where there is a lot of land per person which means farming is pretty common. One thing that is suitable to the climate in this vast landscape is grapes. And with grapes we can make wine.

So you just came from South East Asia and are used to spending $4 for a night in a guesthouse, $2 for your daily meals and were happy with the money left in your wallet after a night of liver destruction and tuk tuk rides.
Then you came to Australia to earn some money and almost fainted at the sign ‘Pint of beer, only $7!’

Ever since I have been on the road, I have carried a netbook with me. A relatively new phenomenom in the computer/laptop world, netbooks are small laptops primarily aimed at surfing the internet.
A stripped down version of Linux was available in a lot of the early netbooks but the familiarity of Windows XP helped to outsell the linux models, nearly all the new models come with XP now. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

You may be wondering who’s interested in publishing what you’ve written about your adventures. There are hundreds of potential markets and publishers so I have suggested 10 here. Make sure you have a good story in your well written article and you should find one of these publications happy to work with it.

After seeing just 3 Orangutans at Sepilok, it became clear I’ve not seen much wildlife since being in Sandakan, despite it being one of the better places in Malaysia to see some. There is another place nearby (15km away or so) called the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary. Which is a Santuary for proboscis monkeys. A primate with a strange nose and different colour fur to most other monkeys. They are also endemic to Borneo Island and can only stay in forest areas near a river so you can’t see them anywhere else in the world apart from a few places on Borneo Island.
