Hilbre Island at High Tide

Walgett was a pivotal site in Australia’s Freedom Ride, where students confronted racial discrimination against Aboriginal people, notably the exclusion of Aboriginal veterans from the local RSL. Two key incidents there brought national attention to the issue of racial discrimination for the first time, marking a significant moment in Australian civil rights history.

This project retraced a Nazi Death March route, walking from Frome to Bath in 2015 on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belsen, and completing the original route in Germany in 2016 on the 71st anniversary.

The periphery of Birkenau

On the 75th anniversary of Auschwitz-Birkenau's liberation, the author completed a walking circumnavigation of the Birkenau camp by navigating the surrounding area, as no road fully encircles the site. This walk, undertaken during a public closure with restricted access and significant security, was originally streamed live on Facebook and is now compiled into a single video.

The Contraption – A tribute to Nicholas Monro 1936 – 2022

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
