Cycling, Hiking, Photographing
Started a cycling community in 2016 with some like minded friends. The community has approx 100 members and is an active group with social and mental benefits which is acknowledged by all. I regularly hike with lifelong friends into remote parts of rainforests and national parks. Photography is an accompanying passion to the cycling and hiking endeavours.
