Fishing, Camping and Exploring Australia

I believe in having a strong work/life balance because although i thoroughly enjoy my career I still think  it is very important to find pleasure and satisfaction within your life outside of your everyday routine. I achieve this by remaining active in any of my downtime. Whether that might be walking my dogs every afternoon or working out at the gym I always find time to keep my body active and moving. Another hobbie I find extremely fulfilling and rewarding is when i get the chance to take my boat out fishing or going away camping with my partner and friends. That might be as simple as dropping it in for a quick few hours after work during day light savings, or heading down the Yorke Peninsular for a weekend of camping and fishing. I will always make a conscious effort to enjoy this lifestyle as simple and efficient as possible, ensuring little waste, conserving the area we camp in and respecting the land that we're lucky enough to enjoy. Always leaving each and every camp site just as we found it if not cleaner.
