Australians are currently being asked to vote on people's right to marry the person they love. I encourage you to vote yes, get those postal votes back, speak to your families, speak to your neighbours, speak to your colleagues, and encourage them to also vote yes. Together we can win this #loveislove #voteyes #equality #equalmarriage #equalrights

Tromsø - Day 5: Driving 200km out of Tromsø towards Finland, and braving -30°C temperatures to get this photo of the Aurora in front of the Milky Way 👌🏼 (at Rihpojávri)

Tromsø - Day 5: Our trusty Suzie Q that kept us safe and warm on all those icy and snowy roads (at Svensby, Troms, Norway)

Tromsø - Day 5: The Northern Lights aren't the only kind of lights to be found in the Polar Winter. For a few hours on clear days the sky stays at a kind of twilight where pastel greens, blues, pinks, and purples slowly make their way across the sky. (at Lyngseidet)

Tromsø - Day 5: We hit the road to explore the winter wonderland that is the fjords surrounding Tromsø. The weather was ideal, even if it was the first day of double digit negative temperatures. There is a lot of love for a colourful house out here. (at Lyngseidet)

Tromsø - Day 4: Definitely a recovery day. It's even harder to get out of bed with a hangover when the sun doesn't even bother to get out of bed either, but we eventually managed it. Needing some fresh air we walked to the Southern tip of the island. It was a clear night for the first time in the trip and our Northern Lights app said "Go! Go! Go!" so we had to venture out. Mid story along a residential road Jez stopped me suddenly and pointed up behind a house, 'Is that the lights?!', and they had certainly come out to play. The photo was pretty ordinary but the short dance of light was the most intense either of us had seen, being able to see the colour of it with the naked eye, and basically in the middle of the city too! We rushed towards a woods to try and get away from the street light pollution but once there the lights had moved on. (at Tromsø, Norway)

Happy New Year folks, I need to catch up on photos from the past few days (it's taken this long to recover) but for now... . Tromsø - Day 3: Bringing in the new year by listening to traditional (and some not-so-trad) carols and classical music in the strikingly beautiful Tromsdalen Church aka The Arctic Cathedral. This followed up with an epic snowball fight in the middle of the city and fireworks at midnight in every possible direction made for a pretty magical night (at Arctic Cathedral)

Tromsø - Day 3: Admin. Booking cars, making dinner reservations, moving Airbnbs, and trying to figure out what will be open in the aftermath of NYE! (at Tromsø, Norway)

Tromsø - Day 2: The leader of the pack surveys the 140 other huskies after a 10km dogsled ride through the Kvaløysletta mountains (at Kvaløya)

Tromsø - Day 2: Cosy. Casual. Local. (at Tromsø, Norway)

Tromsø - Day 1: wandering along the fjord (at Tromsø, Norway)

Driving the ring road of Iceland is mesmerising. The landscape constantly changes; one minute you're winding through a mountain pass, the next you're on a stretch of dead straight road with nothing interrupting the flat horizon in all directions. I only wish I had more daylight to take it more of it in (at Route 1 Iceland)
