Do-It-Yourself Nature Travel, Self-Guided Tours for Exploring Southeast Australia & Tasmania DVD

This website is aimed at adventurous types wanting to travel with an open-ended itinerary and a willingness to try new things. It’s for those who have an interest in wildlife; be it animal, bird, fish, reptile, amphibian or insect. It's for those who want to see sunrises and sunsets from unusual vantage points, and those who are curious about different customs, cultures and geography. It’s also for those who are interested in learning how we can work with people around the globe to start solving environmental problems so there will be a vibrant natural world to pass on to the future generations.

This site is not for pampered travelers who want to lounge quietly on an all-you-can-eat cruise ship. Large numbers of us want to see as much as we can of the planet we’ve been living on before we physically can no longer make the journey. We are more interested in collecting experiences than things.

For those who have traveled extensively on their own, my information may seem old-hat; but for those just starting to explore, going off on one’s own can be intimidating. I’ve started with Australia for a number of reasons; the foremost being, it is what I know best. I’ve spent over a year driving around the entire continent. It is a very accessible foreign country because they speak English and have a similar culture: yet the flora and fauna are wildly different and abundant, and the topography quite diverse. Many of the last, best wild places and world heritage sites are there.

I plan to do a series of informational DVD’s and CD’s. I will make the trip myself; then make observations including a photo journal. I’m not a professional photographer or travel agent. I’m a retired puppet maker. If I can do it, you can do it. I’ll give helpful tips about the countries: ease of travel, least expensive modes of transport, camping and hostel options, volunteering opportunities, visa requirements, and other tidbits. The focus is on natural areas; not large cities or tourist resorts. Saving money is a given for the way I travel, so start saving frequent flyer miles for your own do-it-yourself adventure.
