A life of superlatives
They’ve been the best and the worst times of my life, the hottest and certainly the coldest, the highest, and the furtherest, occasionally the lonliest or the scariest yet above all, happiest times of my life.
I come from Clonbinane. A rural town in Victoria, Australia, so small and lost, most people who’ve been there didn’t know it at the time. A place where as a kid, you can only dream of jungles and deserts that are on the other side of the televison glass, in reality tens of thousands of kilometers away.
One day after hearing a pesamistic comment about my ambitions too many, a decision was made and for me all of my childhood dreams of adventure became a reality.
It’s taken me too long to get everything together, but finally here it is. ..sort of. The lot, semi-finished yet here so that others can enjoy to some extent what I have, and then hopefully go on to have their own adventures.
It’s been the superlative life.
