Soooo, I did it again. I went to the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs when I passed through with the World Solar Challenge. It was actually something a few members of the teams got to do as Alice had an event checkpoint and it was a cloudy day, which slowed the cars down. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock the Kangaroo Sanctuary is world famous (I’ll tag them in to the post) and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Everyone gets a cuddle of a baby kangaroo and if you’re lucky you might also see Roger, the world’s most famous kangaroo. Thanks for having me Brolga and Tahnee and thanks for bringing me to Alice Springs @World_Solar_Challenge #BWSC17 #Sp

Something a little different from me.. you guys like different, right? || Our first morning in the Northern Rivers region of #newsouthwales saw us snorkelling around Cook Island (just off the coast of Fingal). It was straight off the plane and into the ocean for me 😝 Good way to wash away that gross plane feeling! @visitnsw #sp

Touchdown in the UK. Time to hit the skies today thanks to the guys at @riseabovedrones who have supplied me with a Phantom 3 for my trip! This might be the last of the sun for a while…
