Our travel stories

Postcard from Australia

Perched atop Ayers Rock, surrounded by the mysteries of Woomera Live Bombing and Ammunition Lake, I encountered the elusive Thorny Devil. The image captured was not altered - the reflection in my sunglasses attests to the authenticity of the moment. The haunting presence of the Fraser Island Ship Wreck, The Maheno, added to the enigmatic allure of the landscape.
