Magnetic North: Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010/08/uluru-kata-tjuta-national-park.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. It's an image every Australian has been overexposed to. Uluru. The Rock. I didn't have high expectations, but when I first saw it on the horizon, I was still left breathless. It really is awe insprining. Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, NT. The rock climb. I'd be interested to know, how many Australians who visit the park do the climb. Is it mostly internationals? Uluru or Ayers Rock? Uluru Base Walk map. Download Google Earth KML file. Google ...

http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010/08/abrupt-end-at-ellery-creek.html
Sunday, August 15, 2010. An abrupt end at Ellery Creek. Like I said, my hike of the Larapinta Trail ( see earlier blog post. Came to rather an abrupt end midway along it, at Ellery Creek. I'm at pains to describe exactly what happened, but one moment I was excitingly opening my food drop package, and moments later it seemed to game over. Larapinta Trail, West Macdonnell Ranges, Alice Springs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blog Entry Category Labels. Subscribe to this Blog. The north calls me, a fou...

Magnetic North: July 2010
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge). Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge), Northern Territory. Maybe not horribly wrong. I could have done all the walking in two, not three, days, but I wanted to give my ever-injured feet a break, and to enjoy each of the spectacularly placed campsites on the Katherine River. On the second day, I returned along some of the main track, but this time deviating into Jawoyn Valley. The indig rock art was hard to find, I suspect I found ...

Magnetic North: March 2010
http://jez-magneticnorth.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. As a newcomer to 4WDs I thought I might undertake a training course to familiarise myself with my capabilites and my car's capablities. 4WD Training Day near Lyndoch, Adventure 4WD. Introducing Pajero on the "Oh Shit Hill" (this vid of my brother):. You can see why it is called the "Oh Shit Hill" (vid of Pat). The oh shit comes when diagonally opposite wheels have lost traction and gravity pulls the car along:. And back up again (again Daniel):. The training by Adventure 4WD.

The Heysen Trail: Tapanappa to Balquhidder
http://jez-heysen.blogspot.com/2006/11/tapanappa-to-balquhidder.html
Sunday, November 05, 2006. It just seemed like it would be too hard. I'd done the first couple of hills ok, but could I ride another 15kms of it? And stupid me, I had not got up early enough, it was 10.30am already. So I canned the ride. I was at my determined end point of today's walk, Balquhidder, on Callawonga Road just past the end of Tunk Head Road. I had missed this End to End 3 walk when I was sick (remember the shortest cold ever? So I saved about 1.5kms by driving. I really enjoyed walki...Altho...
