Fighting the Tide – Waste in Indonesia…
Bali has a well-deserved reputation as one of the world's best holiday destinations and millions of tourists arrive on the island every year to explore its culture, landscapes and nightlife. However this huge influx of people causes an extraordinary problem – vast amounts of waste and a lack of infrastructure to deal with it. It [...]
The John Fawcett Foundation, Bali, Indonesia
Last week I had the pleasure of spending two mornings covering the work of the John Fawcett Foundation here in Bali. The first day we travelled up to the village of Tuguh to visit a mobile clinic and then across to Ganesa Hospital where a volunteer surgeon from Australia was training two counterparts from the [...]

Seraya Secrets
Everyone who has dived Bali has heard of Tulamben. The Liberty Wreck and the reefs surrounding this famous site tempt thousands of divers each year into the water, mainly to experience the fantastic fish life and atmospheric remains. However, the Tulamben area has a lot more to offer than this busy site. Only 3km away, [...]
