Cape Leeuwin in #WestAustralia one of the "three great capes" of the world named by English navigator Matthew Flinders after the first ship known to have sailed the waters. Pretty damn awesome to stand at the #lighthouse imagination soaring.

Here I am in #Armidale #NSW #Australia - my old stomping ground through seven years at boarding school #NEGS A lot of buildings gone, and a lot of new buildings in their place, but the most striking thing was the same ethos permeates the premises. #schooldays #writing #Fiction
