Screenshots taken from NearMaps. Three locations that have featured prominently in my life.
Meekatharra (bottom right) where I was born in 1990.
Bodallin (top) where I spent my childhood on a farm and went to a school with 12 kids.
Esperance (bottom left) where I went to Highschool.
While all of these locations are in Western Australia, none of them are within a 7 hour drive of each other.
Landscapes take on a whole new level of beauty when seen from a satellite.

This kid is about to get rocked. Look at that fist.
Fun fact: Kangaroos have been known to attack people, and in one case a kangaroo has dragged a man off a horse and drowned dogs in lakes by holding the dog’s head underwater with its feet.
Skippy is a lie people.

The Glowing Spider-Worms of New Zealand
For over one hundred years, millions of tourists have flocked to the ancient limestone Waitomo Caves on New Zealand’s North Island, where a stunning species of fungus gnat called Arachnocampa luminosa live.
Unique to New Zealand and Australia, they are found in caves, grottoes, and other sheltered places. Arachnocampa means ‘spider-worm,’ as the gnat is known for the way their larvae hang strong vertical silk threads from their underground habitats. Since the larvae are luminescent, the thousands of tiny threads light up cave ceilings like a starry sky.

This music gives me chills.
BE HONEST> i dont want you to come cos this is a journey i NEED to go on alone. sorry mum.
Thanks so much for replying. I think I just have to be very straightforward when I talk to her next. When I first started telling her about this trip I told her how important it was for me to go alone. I might just have to remind her why I wanted to do this trip in the first place.
For a little while now I have been planning to do a trekking trip in Nepal September of next year. I want to be put outside my comfort zone with other strangers to have a real once in a lifetime experience. I want this trip to be character building for myself, and to make friends while doing it.
My mum just rang me to ask if she can come with.
And I don’t want her to. And I feel really bad for not wanting her to.
The main reason I want to do this trip is to be placed outside of my comfort zone alone. I don’t want to go with anyone. I want this to just be for me.
But now she wants to come and she has started researching Nepal and I don’t know how to say I don’t want her to come with me.
We were planning to trek Hadrian’s Wall in 2015 but she doesn’t want to wait that long.
What do I do?
