Egusheim
There are good times to visit Alsace, France’s smallest region, tucked in alongside Germany to the country’s east and snuggling up to Switzerland to the south: when, for instance, late summer streams into early Autumn and yellow grapes begin to hang...

Canberra
It’s just another average Friday night in Canberra. Outside a fine mist of drizzle is sheeting down. Inside, Burke’s Backyard is on in the lounge. I’m standing in a brightly lit black-walled room with a bunch of people I don’t know. A redhead’s...

Burgundy Region

Tournus
It's 4pm on a mid-summer Sunday afternoon in the belly of the Burgundy vineyards. Heat crowds the old town square. Barely a whisper carries across it. It's so still that the slam of a door now would seem like an earthquake. We are sitting in the...

Calvi
“Just inch along the edge, that’s it,” encourages Penny from the far end of the ledge, “flatten yourself against the mountain side.” “Find a hand hold,” adds Eric, following close behind. “Watch your camera,” they suddenly chorus, “watch your...

Rathlin Island

“Holy mackerel!” Aldo has nearly dropped his Steinlager. Doug’s jaw has fallen four storeys. All I see is a flash, off to my left, about five metres from the boat. “Let him go. Let him run with it” Let what go? Let who run with what? The shark...

Yasawa Islands
The Swedish fertility dance is in full swing. The two young surveyors from Gothenburg (he, a hollow-eyed Stefan Edberg type, she, like a tanned Agnetha - the platinum blonde from ABBA) have been joined by a rotund compatriot and are hopping around...
