Why the Hell would anyone want to write a book? The average yearly income derived from practising as an author in Australia is a mere $12,900. At $248 a week that is nearly $30 a week less than the dole! For me it is purely selfish reasons. I want to first see if I can, […]
Interesting how things turn out. Last year I put together a photo book with the help of some designer friends. It was mainly just done as a way to value add to my motorcycle film and give Christmas gift buyers something physical they could give to their love ones. Anyway a mate knows a guy […]

Mark makes it to Santiago de Compostela where he experiences traditional Galician music and dancing as well as attending a pilgrim’s mass in the Cathedral. He sees the famous Botafumeiro swing through the aisles and films ancient rituals performed by pilgrims in the Cathedral. His final message is a quote from St Augustine – Solvitur […]
Only 16 kms from Santiago de Compostela, after 34 days of walking, and a night of food poisoning and a symphony of snoring, Mark sums up his camino pilgrimage.
