Autorenporträt
Graham Badrock, throughout his working life, always had the desire to experience what was outside his own pocket of bliss. Living in one of Australia's most beautiful and popular holiday towns, Bright, the need to escape the hordes of visitors who invade the alpine region for twelve months a year was the catalyst to go exploring. The opportunity came when he and his wife, Karen, retired from their bed and breakfast after almost two decades; they were off. Having raised their children, it was time to escape, and see what all the fuss was about. As someone once said, 'travel knows no boundaries, it's just the potholes in the road that get in the way'.
