About Me

Welcome Outback Adventure friends,

I hope 2008 is a great year for you and your family.i am blessed to have many friends and fans so thank you very much :)I have been busy the past few years developing a new 3D Animation Movie in the world of Outback Adventure that i feel families around the world will enjoy. This film will be released in late 2008 and I am very excited about it as it showcases Outback Australia at its best :)it is looking really good and it will preserve our heritage for generations to come that has been my vocus so i am proud to say it will be worth the watch.Outback Adventures gave me the opportunity to showcase the outback to millions of people around the world bringing in millions of dollars for tourism to Australia so i am proud of the accomplishment and the friends i have made.
I love adventure, music, film making, horses, helicopters, motorbikes, fishing, rodeo, 4wding, camping, travel, action, genuine people, stimulating conversations and the world in general.
As a 4th generation born and bred in the Australian Outback, I have developed a strong appreciation of its natural environment, and of my family and friends who continue to work the land. It was these ethics and my love for Australia that inspired me create the television series 'Outback Adventures’ and to write.
I continue to work hard to develop and grow my production company with stories set around outback Australia which reflects my own values and commitment to making the most out of life as well as promoting this beautiful country to the world and educating the general public about the rich heritage and natural wonders of this great land.
I believe we are in jeopardy of losing our rich Aussie culture that our pioneers and forefathers gave to us if we do not preserve it. As an english speaking country we are continually under attack thru the media in films, books, TV programs, music and more teaching cultural expressions of our dearly loved neighbors. We need to remind our youth we have our own history, our own unique way of speaking, and our own way of identifying with ourselves as Aussies.We like other nationalities too are patriotic and proud of our country, its uniqueness and the freedom our diggers gave to us, we must never take it for granted. The beaches, the cities the outback we have it all thats why it is the LUCKY COUNTRY.Your Aussie cowboyTD

When people think about the Australian Outback, they think of the rich red colours of the desert, and the crystal blue of the skies and there's no doubt that the colours of the landscape are uniquely Australian.
When I travel around the world, Im often asked to compare the Australian Outback with other parts of the world. I can't do it! There is no comparison, and while there are some spectacluar places around the globe, there is nothing that can match the grandeur of the Australian Outback.

Excerpt from My latest book:
I grew up in a world where nature’s red tooth was always a beat away, whether it was a lunging snake, a crocodile, a fall from a horse, chasing wild cattle, a motorbike accident, herding wild horses, a vehicle rolling over or a gun accidentally firing. On the land you exist with danger at your side, you face its adversities and you stay committed to its rules to survive. Explorers have plain disappeared. Modern-day tourists have died of thirst and exhaustion. Whole herds of stock have dropped where they were standing through bad droughts. Families have walked off their properties with nothing but the shirt on their backs…

Head for head and mile for mile, country people throughout the world have produced as many successful men and women in every pursuit of life you’d like to pick – artistic, scientific, business, sport, politics and entertainment – as the cities. Those who choose to work the land that still carries a large part of the world’s fortune and future, are as up to date and as clued-in on in their chosen careers as anyone working in a skyscraper. "We’re all individuals, all contributing to the story that every day makes this world a little richer, a little more developed in the only place that really counts, the heart and soul of its people. Pick up a pen or pick up a shovel, drive a truck or a suburban bus, walk ten minutes to work across town or ride a horse two hours before dawn, lay out a paddock or a city block square, or clean offices way past midnight; we’re all at the same task – getting by...

Surround yourself with high achievers, people who inspire you, mentors. Value your own time so others will. Lift your self esteem so you stand up for your self in any situation. Don’t let other people value their priorities more than yours and never say yes without thinking it through thoroughly. Don’t let people dump the things they don’t want to do onto you because they know you can’t say no. Tell them no, because your time is precious. Successful people understand this...
*******
I believe eating correctly and exercising regularly creates a natural high and can amplify your energy to get the most out of each day...

A Tribute to OAKIE: ..
Oakie was an amazing blue heeler cattle dog who sometimes I felt was so human and with a loyalty impenetrable and will always be my best mate.

It has taken me years to accept another dog but I have finally found a new mate in Oakie Junior whom is already showing similar traits of strong companionship and loyalty. Check out these images of him for your comment I will keep you posted on new images regularly.
