Graham Price - Website design and consultancy
Welcome
This is my little site. It's not much, but I call it home (on the web, that is). Not much is changing on here these days except photos. And keep your eyes peeled on the blog to see how it's all going.
If you're new to the site, here's what's what: far out is my Sydney blog, blimey is my blog from the last few years in London, strewth is my blog from my working holiday year in Australia (2003), travel tells you about my other holidays, career is my online cv, history is a bit about me, friends is a bit about them, photos is... um... photos, escape is the much-neglected reviews section, and if you can't work out what contact's for, there's no helping you. Enjoy!

The final days of 2009, part two - outback style
Our little jaunt to the Northern Territory on Boxing Day started ominously, with the heart-stopping news that not only do Qantas now charge for wine and beer on their domestic flights, they don't carry gin and tonic at all! Luckily this didn't cast a pall over the entire trip... At the crack of dawn on our first day in Darwin, we were crammed into our tour bus along with four Dutch, two Swedes, and an entire family of cheerful Singaporeans, destined for an outback adventure in Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks.
The Northern Territory (and Darwin in particular) was the setting of Baz Luhrmann's recent film fantasy, Australia. We headed out there so that John could have a taste of the true sunburnt country - most of his experiences down under so far have been city breaks. My last taste of Kakadu was in 2003 with Matty P, and we wisely went in the cooler Dry season. John and I arrived in the sultry, moist Wet season, smack bang in summer. It was hot and humid, and the welcoming committee was entirely made up of thousands upon thousands of flies who valiantly crawled over every part of you in quest of moisture....
Read the rest here.
Far Out is my web journal - you can read it on this site or, if you like, sign up for it to be delivered to your inbox, or subscribe to RSS updates (what is RSS?).
So why do I have a website anyway?
Good question. Well it's kinda my job, so it's nice to have a space somewhere to play around and try new stuff; it's also a showcase of sorts, and a place to keep my cv. The rest is just padding to make it a bit more interesting and personal, and a place to put photos that I've taken.
If you move your mouse over the picture in the banner above, you'll get a caption telling you what it is (it's not always obvious!), and you can click on the arrow that will appear to cycle through other photos.
