IT'S JANUARY OF FREAKING 2019. I often think, ‘Wow, it’s [insert day, week, month, year] already!’ It’s almost like I put my head in the sand for a while, resurfaced for air and am surprised by how much time has passed. We mark time by numbers, but that’s not how life...

I took this as our pod reached the highest point on the Melbourne Star. It was the very last day I spent in Melbourne. My cousin and her kids took me South Wharf for my last afternoon and in some ways was a fitting end - the last thing I did was see the whole city...
