From Zoom to the Bush: Why Virtual Tours Are So 2020
Remember when we were all stuck inside, baking sourdough and pretending our living rooms were offices? Yeah, me too. During those interesting times, I found myself guiding folks through the Aussie bush without anyone actually setting foot outside.

Virtual Bushwalking in Sydney: Streaming Nature Straight to Your Sofa
Armed with my old video production skills (and a healthy skepticism about going full tech nerd again), I streamed my way through caves, ridges, and the occasional leech encounter — all from behind a lens. It was live, unscripted, and 100% carbon-neutral. Eco-warriors, you’re welcome.

Ready to Explore Sydney’s Wild Side in Real Life?
But let’s be honest — the world’s opened back up, and so have I. These days, I’ve swapped virtual bushwalks for the real thing. Now you can come and smell the eucalyptus for yourself.
So, while the virtual tours have been packed up with the face masks and hand sanitiser, the real adventures have started.
If you're keen to see Sydney’s wild side in person, shoot me a message.
Let’s hit the trail — for real this time.
