The Gobi Diaries
Four Backpackers. One Ancient Soviet Van. Across Mongolia and Beyond.
Four travellers, one battered Soviet van, and two unforgettable weeks crossing Mongolia.
From sleeping in traditional gers and sharing meals with nomadic families to exploring the Flaming Cliffs and Yolyn Am, The Gobi Diaries follows a journey filled with rough roads, sandstorms, curious camels, questionable toilets and plenty of laughter.
Written with warmth and understated Australian humour, it is a story of slow travel, unexpected mishaps and the kind of adventures that rarely go quite according to plan.

The Long Way West
Four Travellers. Thousands of Kilometres. Mongolia to Istanbul the Long Way.
Four travellers leave Mongolia and head west, choosing trains, buses and whatever else comes along over anything resembling the easy route.
From the vast distances of Russia and the Trans-Siberian Railway to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye, The Long Way West follows a journey of changing landscapes, memorable characters, unfamiliar food, long train rides and the occasional plan that doesn’t quite survive contact with reality.
Warm, entertaining and filled with understated Australian humour, it is a story about taking the slow road, embracing the unexpected and discovering just how much can happen between one place and the next.

Somewhere South of Paris
Two Australians. One medieval French village. And a rather ambitious change of life.
An Australian couple decide to swap the familiar for a new life in a medieval village in southwest France, 500 kilometres south of Paris.
Somewhere South of Paris follows the real story of finding a house, navigating French bureaucracy, tackling renovations and slowly learning how life works in a country where even the simplest task can sometimes become an adventure.
Along the way there are village markets, unfamiliar customs, new friends, wonderful food, unexpected discoveries and the everyday pleasures and frustrations of making a home in France.
Warm, funny and honest, it is a story about starting again, discovering France beyond the postcards, and finding out what really happens after you decide to pack up your life and move to another country.
