Website - Roaming Down Under

www.roamingdownunder.com

This is the website I devote most of my effort to these days - I add a new page every two or three weeks. It's a travel site about "Exploring roads less travelled in the cooler parts of Australia and New Zealand", and is intended to help independent travellers looking for places worth visiting beyond the well-trodden tourist routes.

It contains heaps of my photos and experiences of places I've enjoyed ... especially places I think are worth a look but don't get a lot of attention from guide books or travel brochures. I'd love to eventually cover all of Australia and New Zealand (it's a long term project), but for now I'm focussing on the cooler southern areas which are my favourites.

This is where I upload the videos used in my travel website. I tried YouTube first, but intrusive advertising and the inappropriate blocking of some videos with background music by over-zealous copyright algorithms led me to look elsewhere. This worked out well - I found Vimeo to be better in many ways.

The videos in my Vimeo channel also appear here on the Videos page.

Personal website (1999-2021)

My first website named Graham's Paddock began at feargod.net in 1999. It featured a variety of content including photography (landscapes, cows, 3D), snow in Western Australia, some of my unique collections, and a blog. It served its orignial purpose of learning and self-expression, and after a decade of neglect I took it offline.

Twitter (2015-2017)

I also dipped my toes into the murky waters of Twitter under the name RoaminDownUnder. Despite grander intentions I never ended up using it for anything other than announcing new content on my Roaming Down Under website. With my travel activities dormant and no new content, I left.


That's it! I'm not on Facebook, Instagram, or any other social network. There are plenty of other people with my name, but none of them are me.
